Actually, it's one of my dirty little secrets (or at least, it was till now) that I saw Pitch Black 3 times in the theaters (once in it's regular run then twice at the dollar movies). The first time I saw it, I didn't really think much of the movie (I think my initial thoughts on the film are around here somewhere ... oh, here they are), but I was completely smitten with Vin Diesel (Riddick), and went to see it again just for him. The second time the movie's flaws didn't stand out, and I noticed a lot of things that I hadn't noticed before that actually made it a really likeable movie. The third viewing convinced me that there is a lot more to like about it than not. And not just Vin Diesel.

Plus, it piqued my interest in Claudia Black, which led me to watch "Farscape," which is a really damned good show.
