Sometimes I hate movies. Usually that point comes after I watched three of them in a row taking a break for a coffe and bakery in the meantime just to think about life for five minutes. I hate them for the quality that some of them are able to take us away somewhere. Invite us on a journey in a far far away place where only interesting things happen, where life is funny, and every five minutes there is an exceptional someone walking in through the door or super hidro mecho blinking hyperplasma nano thingy. A gorgeus girl, a handsome man, usually with a great sense of humor, a touching story or something, but most often with a situation full of exciting problems and even more interesting ways of solving.

So I hate the fact that they can take me there, and I can feel like riding Serenity the spaceship laughing with the crew, feeling what they feel, and dream how they dream. When the adventure is over, and the next alien butt-kicking, shooting laughing yelling LIVE mission is two clicks away (drag and drop actually, so its more of a click-toss-release combo, anyway) Don't look at me like people look at nerds! Where was I? Oh yes. The adventure. In the light of such great movies everydays seem a little action-less. Nothing is blown up, nobody gets eaten... the grocery guy is the only one with a really weird head. Surely nobody comes in space-ships, talks like machines, and bleeps and boops and klings in a manner that nobody understands. Except for the french, but we know they are not aliens. They already lost two world wars, that would not happen to aliens. (Just tell me if I am being mean, I take critics really well.. occasionally).

ps: Serenity is a great sci-fi. For all those who think that space and mystery, and future is for nerds, I feel sorry for you, because you are just narrow minded. Think of a future that is pretty likely, put some well developed characters in the middle and see what happens. You might find yourself laughing, feeling, dreaming, imagining the way you never thought you could. There is one thing between you and that. An unexplained reflex that this shit is for 15 year old kids who had no friends and will never have a girlfriend.

Based on the series Firefly.
