I live in Windsor - that pretty place with a castle near London and I'm frustrated as all hell!!

I have still not seen the trailer for the BDM anywhere other than the internet ....

Can any of youse tell me where I might see it either on the big screen or on sci-fi channel or whatever ...

If I don't see it soon my John Thomas is gonna pop right off and fly around the room and I don't EVEN have one, so go figure!!!!

Yours feelingly

a stymied Zoot

I know - I live in Prestatyn (that's North Wales for you geographically challenged/other-side-of-the-pond-like people) and have thus far not seen it anywhere else either!
I'm very frustrated!

...and we will call it...this land...

Zoot - whilst I am having an incredibly bad day (actually stomped out of work but sadly came back again!) can I just say that your post has brought a much needed smile to my face!

One day, one shiny happy day, we UK Browncoats will see the trailer in the cinema and we shall rejoyce! Until then, we must all be brave....

(take it you won't be going to Edinburgh?!)

Edited to say - check out Slayer730's previous posts. Can only assume he/she (sorry!) is in the US.

High Wycombe eh? I live near there.

Yeah, High Wycombe - good for a nice big cinema and not much else - glad to see there's a Home Counties presence on the boards!!

Whereabouts do you live, Fray101? – there’s some pretty fine countryside there abouts and then some other bits (Slough) which are pretty rotten!!

You know, I’m actually seriously toying with Edinburgh … But it’ll be so expensive and would probably have to stay over night and everyone I know will think I’m insane for even bothering (which may be true) … got that Can’tStopTheSignal email that said there’d be other showings round the UK so there may be one nearer home which it might be better to wait for ….

If so we should def have a Home Counties pre-showing Shindig!!!

Oh and cheer up! Your increadibly bad day must surely be nearly over - unless of course you work nights!

I personally have recently given in my notice and the feeling of liberation and devil-may-caredness is palpable!! give it a try!

Hey Zoot - am now at home & can put my bad day behind me (until tomorrow, sigh). But am planning on signing on at an Employment Agency tomorrow morning!

I live in a little village called Prestwood (near Gt Missenden, currently famous for the Roald Dahl museum) although funnily enough my early years were spent in Slough....!

Yep, definitely need a SE screening please!

Well obviously coming from Windsor, I take a dim view of anyone hailing from the place at the bottom of the hill (Slough) but I guess I can make an exception ....

Oh gawd!!! - am so desperate for a SE screening I may just die …

Terrified that the news will come in while am on holiday (2 weeks from 23rd) and that I will miss the tickets ....and then, of course, (mind spins into imagination overdrive) I will be afflicted by rare and dastardly disease picked up on my travels to exotic France and, by 7 October, I will be unable (despite having all my other faculties intact) to tolerate anything put forward in a celluloid medium (really, its a very, very rare disease) and I will be unable to watch the BDM....

either that or the world will enter a random second ice-age and all the cinemas will be frozen (ok, you got me, been watching The Day After Tomorrow, again) ....

Am sure we'll hear shortly - really, not just trying to make you feel better!

Hey come on, October isn't so far away!

Are you going to Serenity 2?

Ok - I'm gonna sound horribly British adn up tight right now but don't think I'd cope at a convention ...

Hate the whole cult of celebrity thing and would jsut be embarrassed I think ...

Prefer to lurk in shadows and participate only in passive way e.g. watching the gorram product - maybe writing some stuff under assumed name etc...

It's my first time going to anything like this - got caught up in the hysteria after the first one in April!

Should be...interesting...

That's pretty much what I thought (I'm also uber-British). I've been a fan of several sci-fi shows and yet hadn't even contemplated going to a convention until a friend asked me along to Serenity. I figured that if I was ever to do it, this was the ideal one as there wouldn't be 1000 people who all spoke Klingon, had tattoos of Alysson Hannigan all over their body and brought along their babies Nyssa, Tegan and Adric.

It was nothing like I expected. Normal people, having fun, a really friendly atmosphere, very little hero worshipping going on with the stars (who were incredibly down to earth), nobody was that scary. You'll get a really memorable weekend and have a blast, absolutely guarantee it.

I suspect you'll be able to witness the trailer on TV on Friday and at cinemas in just a few weeks time so hold onto your non-existent kidney cracker for the time being.

He he he!! very funny - and really, in the words of the dreadful song, you know me so well ("oh, weeellll...")....

Think I might consider going if I had a group of friends who were into the same kinda stuff but everyone I know thinks I'm a loony... not generally, just in relation to TV and film, I hasten to add ....

I have to walk into cocktail parties and meetings on my own all the time as part of my job and its horrific - don't wanna do it in my down time too ... and yes, I know, I'm just parading excuses now!!
