Firefly, and two articles

[selenak]

(Re-)watched some more Firefly. It gets more painful each time afterwards, because there is so much to love. Simon and River eating berries. Jayne and "Vera". The very special hell. (I maintain that Our Mrs Reynolds is an underestimated comic masterpiece by Joss.) Kaylee and her unabashed joy at eating. Mal and his issues. "Big damn heroes, Sir." Zoe and Wash, the most adorable advertisment for married bliss on TV ever.

Ease my pain, recommend me fanfic? Pretty please?

This article reviews a new HBO movie about the suffragettes, which reminds me yet again of the Out of Africa syndrom. (I.e. Out of Africa, the book, barely mentions Dennys Finch-Hatton. In the film, the love story between him and Karen Blixen takes center stage.) Remind me for a moment - are there any movies about famous women who didn't include a romance between the woman in question and whomever as a central story element?

A while back, I was raving about the immortal Charles Chaplin and his oeuvre. This article does the same.

Firefly fic recs

I think you'll like Tara LJC's stories (http://ljconstantine.com/fanfic/ff.html), who writes these long and plotty episode-like stories with great character voices. I particularly recommend "That Old Yeh Shen Story" and "Lex Talionis".

Tara also has a FF fic rec site called Cortex (http://fireflyrecs.diaryland.com/index.html). Also, both PolyRecs (http://bifictionalbedlam.slashcity.net/recs/index.html) and BSO (http://www.mirrordance.net/recs/firefly.html) has a Firefly section.

WORD on missing the show. It's been more than a year since the cancellation, so I've moved past the stage where it was physically painful for me to even think about it, but I still mourn for the show.

Thank you for all the recs. That helps. Well, until I've read everything - then I suppose it will make things worse.*g* Well, at least there's the movie to look forward to...
