desoto_hia873Nathan Fillion turned 35 years old a couple of days ago (he's such a kitten); for a birthday present, he's asked that all Browncoats go to see his new film Slither.
It's a horror movie. I am so bad at horror movies. I've seen exactly 15 seconds of Jaws because I read the book and knew what was going to happen next. I watched The Exorcist from behind the television. I watched An American Werewolf in London from around the corner in another room. And I refused to watch Poltergeist altogether because my father wouldn't tell me what the steak was going to do.
It's not the gore that gets to me - it's the suspense. If I hadn't been holding the arms of my theatre seat in a deathgrip, I would have bolted out of the cinema within the first 15 minutes of Platoon. (I'm terrible at war movies too. I saw Saving Private Ryan out of a sense of duty because my grandfather fought in WWI and survived, and because my great uncle also fought and didn't. But I ain't watching no more because I just can't deal.)
Nevertheless, I'm going to see Slither on Saturday with my fellow Ottawa Browncoats. I'll be the one peeping intermittently at the screen from under her seat.

HEY, EVERYONE! ::points at you:: FRIMFRAM LOVES FIREFLY!!!

It gets even better when you watch it a second time. I'm on my fourth trip through it in about a year.

Re: the email - I figured the lameness of my plots had turned you mute. :-)

They all stump me a bit because of my profound inability to write (a)Scoobies or (b)during the canon timeframe, but you could do fabulous stuff with them.

There! I quoted a non-Boreanaz-featuring show! Did I do it right? :D
