After reviewing Sky Captain on the IMDB boards (its a great movie. really enjoyed it), I closed with 'Now, if you'd all excuse me, I'm off to direct people to the new movie Serenity, which comes out April 22nd.
www.fireflyfans.net www.serenitymovie.com'.

The response to that?

Is this for real?!? If not, you've created the best parody site, ever! I worship Firefly!

Now this, unlike Sky Crappin' and the World of Bowel-Movements, is a sci-fi film to get excited about!

Thanks for the good news (if it's real). It is real, right?

Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!

Firefly lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)



Now, I love my sky captain, but Wheee! I spread the word. I've wrote on $500 worth of bills with Firefly on them (and the sites) and spread them through my career center (I got three firefly bills in change! it was the best!).

You know, some derranged little part of me wants to keep all the 'in the dark' browncoats in the dark.

Why?

Because, its one thing to hear it on some message board somewhere and get all excited about it, and and entirely different thing to walk into a movie theater, sit down and watch some previews roll by then BAM all of a sudden everybody's favorite spaceship zips by and "Good lord! That looked like Serenity! Oh my god! it IS Serenity!"

Can you imagine the surprise? It'd be like some totaly unexpected WONDERFUL thing.

So very cool.

Not that I'm saying its bad to spread the joy, just that it wouldn't be so bad it we didn't.

That sounds like a great plan -- except that you may want to make the blackout period Jan 1 to April 15, since the movie comes out on April 22. Or are you in some corner of the 'Verse where it doesn't come out until July? If so, you have my sympathies.

Taking that the date was meant to be APRIL 15th, this sounds like one shiny idea! I think I'm gonna do it!

And I could have a marathon all New Years Eve...ooo, that sounds fuuuunn...

(assuming that was pointed somewhere in my general direction...if not, ignore away!)

Blood? I think I'd have to, if I wanted to get through over 4 months of no Firefly. Come to think of it, we'll need to start a support group. I think I'll end up going crazy, otherwise...

You know what's sad, for England it might very well be July for a movie release considering past movie delays...

Here's hoping for a Matrix simulcast!

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


Ebo, I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

If you think I will be able to go almost four months with no Firefly you are out of your gorram mind.

And while it will be nice to hear some surprised gasps from the audience the first time a Serenity trailer plays, I would rather there be thousands more Browncoats aware that there will be a Serenity trailer in the first place...such as in front of Electra on January 14.

Bingo. Seems there are still folk out there who still need the good word spread to 'em. Just the thought of an unsuspecting Browncoat sitting in a movie theatre as the previews are shown...... I'd love to be right behind 'em!

Seeing that there's folk out there who have yet to know about the BDM ..... brings a tear to my eye *sniff*

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Great story GwenHarker! Thanks for sharing it w/ us. Hopefully more "in the dark" Browncoats will see your posting and come here and to the other sites to find out for themselves that the BDM is on the way.

Keep up the good work.

I can see where you are coming from Ebo, and I can imagine the joy and excitement they would feel when seeing a trailer cold like that, but quite honestly we can not afford to miss a single Browncoat.

I think we need to get the word out there any way we can to as many people as we can in the few short months until April. In order to get the other two Serenity movies, we have to show Universal some serious numbers in ticket sales the first two weeks at the box office. To do that we need every single Browncoat, convert, fence straddler, friend, family member, and kidnap victim we can manage to get into a seat.

I see your point Ebo and though I would not necessarily say it is a bad thing, I don't think taking the chance at Browncoats stumbling across the trailer while seeing another movie is a chance we can afford to take w/ what is at stake.
