Friday I went to lunch and Mirrormask with [livejournal.com profile] new_man, then joined [livejournal.com profile] liamstliam et al for Serenity.

Mirrormask: A lot of people have missed the central element of this film, which is of course juggling. I liked that. As for its other attributes, I found the plot to be a bit of a letdown in that it set up ideas that it never really explored. There were many opportunities to showcase artful encounters with weird things though, and those sequences were for the most part very well executed. It was a fun little movie, nothing earthshaking but worthwhile.

Serenity: I'd already seen it in preview, and the differences were minor (mainly color cleanup, which does help highlight the superb cinematography). I enjoyed it quite a bit, but it was not without some notable flaws.

Saturday [livejournal.com profile] new_man and I went on a road trip to [livejournal.com profile] cat9 and [livejournal.com profile] ulf_rulz's Oktoberfest party up in VT. Had good German fun, met cool northerly people, and obtained cider doughnuts. Wurst was eaten and fun was had by all.
