I have a morning interview with the EFF tomorrow so I have to keep this quick but OMG I SHOOK ALAN TUDYK'S HAND

/teenaged girl squee. Somewhat older squee to commence:

serenityissofuckingawesome!!

My friends and I were at the end of the line. This of course, meant seats in the front row. Being the ever-resourceful girl that I am, I decided to stash my coat in the front and camp out at the reserved handicapped seating in case no one came to claim them. Luck was on my side when, about 10 minutes into my wait, the people one row up consolidated seats leaving 3 open. So I called my friends over and we sat down. Universal has a camera there taping the screening and about the time the movie was supposed to start I saw that the camera guy was training the camera on the entrance. So I said to my friend, I bet someone's going to come out to introduce the movie. Sure enough, about 5 minutes after that Gina Torres and Alan Tudyk came out. The crown went nuts, we gave the a standing ovation. Alan said that this would be the first time he'd seen the movie. And then they moved into their seats which were, literally right in front of my friends and I. WHAT LUCK! I AM AWESOME!

[SERIOUS SPOILER (honestly it's a BIG one don't blame me if you don't want to be spoiled and you read this)]They killed Wash! They killed wash and I was tearing up and when it happened Gina reached over and hugged Alan and it was by far the best thing ever (except for the fact that Wash is fucking dead!) Anyway. River kicked a whole lot of ass and DUDE. This movie is awesome. It's Joss and it's perfect and oh man I am so overjoyed.[/SERIOUS SPOILER]

After the movie Gina and Alan stuck around to answer questions. One of them was whether the movie or the tv show was more true to Joss' original intentions. They both said hands down, it was the movie because Fox was constantly changing Joss' story to fit their own needs. Alan and Gina both bagged on Fox multiple times, which I thought was awesome because I think it's always just been this sort of unspoken truth that Fox sucked some of the soul of Firefly right out and it was nice to hear the people involved actually say so.

On their way out, everyone was clapping and I shook Alan's hand on his way out the door. He's even better looking in person than he is on the show. This night was awesome. I'm forever amazed at how great Joss and his crew are to the fans.
