Intersesting question. I don't hang out here much. I spend most of my time at the OB. So far, everyone has done a great job of marking all spoilers. Of course, it's still pre-May 5th. Anyway, I'm wanting to stay so spoiler free that I haven't even watched the trailer. I think I know a couple of minor things, but nothing big. I guess I'm just saying that you can be online and stay spoiler-free. Well, that's my opinion at least before May 5th.

I think I agree. I think the studio is trying to keep the fans interested through what is a very long time without new episodes into the movie.
accidentally saw the spoiler you mentioned... had been avoiding them. Not happy.
But still very much looking forward to the movie!

I think that these advance screenings are very necessary. I know the one in London was packed with the already converted, but I was talking with an American who was at one of the original screenings in LA. She got to watch it with a mix of fans and people who'd never heard of Firefly. In the discussion group afterwards she got to raise some very valid points with Joss Whedon, Chris Buchanan and various other Big Cheeses sitting behind listening.

You're never going to get a true picture of audience reaction when you just show fans and people who are just plonked on seats and told "Watch this." The people who will love this film will have chosen pay for their tickets and want to enjoy it.

This film is exciting, frightening, sad, shocking, very funny and so very intense. Joss Whedon hasn't let us down.

Nope, the screenings were a great idea and certainly those of us at the one in Picadilly loved every gorram frame of it. We are all in for a terrific treat on 30th September. I never give spoilers but you would need to be dead from the neck up not to be mightily impressed with this Big Damn Movie. Now go, book your gorram seats before those *liumang* purplebellies pinch all the good seats. Ali D :~)
