Way Off Broadway Screening March 18 and 19th, 2005
Morena Baccarin and Ron Glass
I went to see Morenca's first movie Friday. This movie is really funny and well written. I was laughing and clapping at certain spots. Morena was really funny. This character is totally different from Inara and it was great to see that range. This movie is laugh out loud funny and well written. The performance of the cast really makes the movie and it is just great to see Morena in 90% of the movie. The movie is about the struggle we all go through after college - what do we do now? Make my dreams come true or get a job? It gave a great view of what struggling actors in New York City are able to do and how friends keep each other going. Afterwards I handed Morena a card and told her I thought she was great in the movie. The card is just written praise in case I don't get to say what I want to say because my brain goes missing.
I went back to see it again on Saturday with my sister Carol and Julie and we met Harpy outside the theater. Harpy is a German Browncoat who was visiting the States and going to various Cons. I really enjoyed the movie the second time just as much. We didn’t ask questions. Afterwards we saw Ron Glass congratulating Morena! He was walking away from her and there were a few Browncoats near me as he passed. I stopped him by placing a hand on him. What I didn’t know at the time was that Carol had also put her hand on him on the other side. I just told him we were fans of his as well. All these folks were Browncoats. Ron smiled and nodded and then moved on. I think he really just did not expect to run into fans and was surprised. Afterwards he spoke to others in the lobby and I think he was better prepared.
I went back to congratulate Dan Kay on his hard work. It’s a great movie and he has worked hard on making it happen. I did not get a chance to speak to Morena the second night.
I actually went during the week one more time and took my sister Perla. She loved it.
Julie Highlights:
I was lucky to see the 7:15 showing with Rosie, Carol, and Harpy (a Browncoat visiting from Germany). James and several others met up with us after attending Wizard World today. The movie was very good, as was Morena. She did an amazing job! This was Rosie's second viewing, so she can provide a much better review. There was a Q&A after with the writer/director and three of the main stars, Morena among them. Very insightful questions were asked and I thought it was a good discussion.
Many from the audience went up to the cast to congratulate them and wish them luck on the film. Apparently, the film is only being released in LA. So it needs to do well this weekend in order to continue on.
As I was waiting to speak with Morena, who should walk past us but our favorite Shepherd. Yes, Ron Glass was there to see the film. He went over to hug Morena and speak with her. I spoke briefly with Morena and told her how much I enjoyed the film. I also handed her the two cute pictures I had taken of her and Nathan at Gen Con.
I saw Ron again in the lobby. I approached him and said I was a fan of his work, and was looking forward to Serenity. He seemed surprised that he was recognized, but he was very pleasant. He and Morena left together.
To sum up: Good movie, BDHs continue to rock.
