Ahh, Baldrick would be proud

Couple of friends wanted to go see Wallace & Gromit - Curse of the Wererabbit, (they'd already seen Serenity, don't glare at me!

) and invited me along, but when i went to the box office, i ordered a ticket for "Serenity" to get past the tickets gates, and then snuck into W&G - CotWR along with my other friends who'd bought correct tickets

They think I'm crazy, but at least it's OUR kind of crazy! *browncoat salute*

Anyone else done this?

I thought about doing it tonight but instead I just went to see Serenity again! There's plenty of time to watch Wallace and Gromit on DVD!!

Hehehehe, a TRUE fan :p I was too WEAK to worm out the peer pressure of watching W&G *sobs*, but at least Serenity got my £££! :D

I saw Wallace in Gromit tonight but didn't pull your trick. It has lots of funny moments, but I think I would have enjoyed the evening more seeing Serenity for a 4th time!

The road to Hel is paved with good intentions

Now that's a cunning plan!

I actually went with a friend to see Wallace and Gromit and Serenity back to back... though considering how packed the former was, buying the wrong ticket would get you kicked out, there wasnt a seat spare... Serenity on the other hand - smallish screen, half of the seats were taken at best.
Though it was the 9:45pm showing, so maybe its not a good time

I think seeing both films actually didn't do my friend that much good. He didnt particularly want to see Serenity but was willing to give it a chance, but after W&G (which he absolutely loved) Serenity was a bit of a disappointment in comparison (totally different movies but it wasn't exactly his thing anyway)

I did enjoy both, but given the choice, I'd choose Serenity anyday (of course)

GameStalker: Watch closely, and you will learn, Grasshopper

NikNak: I liked W&G too, really silly and sweet and funny, but still not in the same league as Serenity! I would have enjoyed W&G the same on dvd I imagine. It didn't really require the big screen experience of special and sound effects like Serenity does, although I'm absolutely shattered after I watch Serenity in the theatre, such a rollercoaster ride!

Needy: Why thank you :D True, I did go in the early afternoon, and W&G was surprisingly empty for a Saturday, so no problems.

Well you got someone to see it, who wouldn't normally see it, so i consider that a great success! Maybe you can sneak a few firefly episodes into his brain too, when he isn't looking

I wanted to see Serenity tonight but it just never worked out, but while I was at the mall i bought two tickets to the 7 o'clock showing anyway=)

Also i am in my hometown for the weekend so i hadnt been to this theater before for "Serenity" and when i went to by my ticket there was "SERENITY the future is worth fighting for" across the door in window paint lol. and posters everywhere, and a contest to win serenity stuff. So apparently we have a theater manager on our team which means that theater will keep serenity as long as possible=)

And my old college roommate went and saw it today for me and said "I was pleasently surprised, it was really good!" and she said that Rivers fight scenes were some of the only fight scenes she has ever enjoyed in a movie.

So yey!

Yay indeed ^_^ I'm a new convert myself, having only seen Firefly for the first time a week ago, but I've lost track of how many of my friends I've shown it to, who've been both pleasantly surprised by it and shocked that it was cancelled!

As for the film fight scenes, I have to say that the graceful "balletic" style did hold the attention far more than usual smash and bash fight scenes, although it makes it a little harder to believe that a little girl can hit so hard while appearing so weightless and floaty

Ooh, a Browncoat theatre manager....infiltration and subversion from within!! Excellent news!

I went to see Serenity again, and THEN snuck into Wallace and Gromit!

I plan to see the Fog this week sometime, and I will be buying a Serenity ticket for that too...

I could do it. It's not like the ticket taker right next to the auditorium or anything. It be easy during the week cause not everyone goes to the movies during the week.

yessirree indeed I have... several times. Lots of movies to see- but Serenity gets all my cash!
:-)

Like you all I want this movie to make a decent ripple/wave. I tell all my mates to go see it and then I sometimes buy an extra ticket whether I am going or not.

Call it a minor investment in what I hope will be a shiny future.

Cheers!

Looking at your quote, I'm wondering if it's not from Angel? I thought I knew most Firefly dialog by heart and while this is familar I can't quite place it. Maybe I'm just adrift in Whedonverse this morning. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yeah, apparently it is from Angel although I didn't actually hear it from there. Joss mentioned it in one of his Firefly commentary's (I think it was Out of Gas). It has kind of become my motto.

I know of one person

Baldrick: I have a plan, sir.
Blackadder: Really, Baldrick, a cunning and subtle one?
Baldrick: Yes, sir.
Blackadder: As cunning as a fox who's just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?

Or how about?:

Blackadder: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning.
Blackadder: Yes it is.
Baldrick: Hmm... that's cunning.

Cunning yes.. and really, harmless. The danged theater gets their $$$ it's just allocated differently...

in fact...yawn... as I sit here, I think I will just pop over to fandango and buy a ticket for tonight.. even tho I have dinner plans..

like I said.. for me, a small investment in a shiny future.

And BTW the public took awhile but caught on to and really gave legs to March of the Penquins and Crash, both of which ended up making some serious $$$ at the B.O. So,, if the numbers stay relatively high and Serenity stays in the theaters, it will be ok.

The entire B.O. in the US is down, as others have observed. It's the ennui of the american public.. too lazy to leave the house...lol

Chindi, merrily keying into Fandango...
