I only discovered the 'verse about 6 months ago, and never saw the BDM on the big screen. Although I've watched it numerous times on DVD (Including last night!) I will see it on the big screen for the first time at the charity screening. I have also got 3 other first timers coming with me. Woo-hoo!

I too just discovered Firefly and Serenity and although I have not actually watched the film yet...(I know it's killing me but I promised to let my best friend 'catch up' and we'd watch it together!)I decided to see it on DVD this week (....can't wait!) so that I am not "losing my 'BDM' virginity" (as it were) in a thatre full of fans who already know every little thing about the film backwards!!!!!

Just one more thing - what exactly does BDM stand for? Big Damn Movie? Beautiful Daring Monument (to Firefly fans)?? Bottoms Dancing Meaningfully????? (Yeah that was really unimaginative!!) I am so new to Firefly that I just saw my first episode 14 days ago and joined this site 10 days ago and although I've watched each ep 2-3 times (+ commentaries) I've not had this BDM thing explained - please, please let me know the answer... I can't eat! ...I can't sleep! My football team can't win a game.....

Thank you - love (in the shiniest way) - Magdalene x x

Although I've probably seen the BDM (Big Dam Movie) over 30 times on our 55-inch TV, I've not yet seen it on the big screen.

I can't wait to sit in the theatre and see the title sequence...it makes me cry on the TV...I'm going to be a MESS!! (I love that ship)

Magdalene - BDM (Big Dam Movie) derives from the cast being our Big Dam Heroes (as you will learn when you watch the episode "Safe").

Didn't get to see it on the big screen, since I hate going to the theater anymore.

But I'll try to make the 24th viewing in Tuscon, AZ. I figure if a bunch of browncoats can't ensure a good viewing experience, then there is really no hope.

Anyone going to the NYC, June 23rd showing? I'm hoping I'm not gonna be alone or with just a small amount of people. I need some ruttin fan love. LOL.

Anyone who has not yet seen the BDM on the BDS (Big Damn Screen) and lives in the Twin Cities area (Minneapolis/St.Paul) join us Thursday, June 22 at 9:30pm at Riverview Theatre in Minneapolis.
Yeah, been talking this up on the boards a lot, but word of mouth (or post) can do wonders.

Not exactly on topic, but just seeing the name of this thread reminded me when I saw commercials for the BDM back when it first came out.

The whole space with Chinese stuff (not much was made about it being a Western in the commercials) theme really irked me. I probably had the most negative reaction out of anybody who ever switched their colors to Browncoat. If I remember correctly, it was something along the lines of, "That looks like the worst movie EVER made."

Then seeing it for the first time... I don't think I've ever had emotions this jumbled. It's like I want to tear my teeth out just because I don't know what else to do.

Anyone who's not had the pleasure of seeing this movie in theaters, I urge you to do so this time. In all honesty, I might be in jail right now if I had never taken the time to see it out of boredom.

Heads or tails, which way will you choose? Die or live, surrender or fight? Wild and free, together we'll stand, strong and proud, we will claim our right.

My first time seeing it on the big screen too! I only saw the BDM for the first time this past winter ,though I was pretty much hooked from the start! I'll be in Boston for that screening and I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Well, since I lost count of my theatrical screenings sometime in early December, I can hardly be called a "virgin".... But I am SO looking forward to seeing the BDM again on the BDS, both in Chicago and Milwaukee. *With* other fans, which is the main thing.

BTW, Chicago is this [holds thumb and forefinger microscopically far apart] far from being a done deal. We've got our theatre booked, just waiting on confirmation of a print.

Yay! I am planning on going to Chicago and Milwaukee too. Well, assuming Chicago does go down (and I am being hopeful). Shiny!

I missed the BDM last fall due to the PTA and child sickness (damn viruses). Can't wait to see it on the big screen. My 7 year old and I are headed to Albany, NY on the 23rd!

I am no longer a BDM 'virgin' (ooooh that sounds weird) I watched it last night with my best friend whom I have also introduced to the Firefly 'Verse! We were on the edge of our seats and both devastated and hopeful at the end! She's not yet a fully integrated 'browncoat' (doesn't have internet access) but she'll be joining me in Melbourne on 23rd to see it on big screen - 1st time!

Hope we don't cry too much!!!!!

Add Natalia to that list!

JerryT -

Maybe I'll see you at the Tucson screening (Already have my tickets!). I'm sure it will be worth braving the theater for you! Are you planning on attending the pre-screening shindig at Bookman's also? (I'm so there! )

I saw Serenity in the theater 8 times, but am really looking forward to seeing it for the first time with other browncoats. And I'm dragging as many of my converts with me as I can

I get chills when I think of seeing the first scene with the ship in a theater full of diehard fans. Should be a memorable experience!

Would your parents let you come with us? I am a nanny in another life, and used to be a youth group leader at our church so I am kind of a responsible type of person? Have you seen the film before?

Wow, me and a group of other 17 year olds are going, no complaints from parents. But I've made it clear to them that anything Firefly/Serenity is a big deal - hell, I convinced them to let me fly down to Wellington for 3 days by myself just to see Jewel Staite. Lay down the law, man... "Here's how it is..."

One of that 17y/o group is my first Browncoat convert that I lent the Firefly DVD set to. He hasn't seen Serenity at all, let alone on the big screen. We were gonna watch the DVD that day anyway...then the screening for our reigon came along. Much better.

Me and my husband, and possibly one of my stepsons, will be seeing it on the big screen for the first time that weekend, in Seattle. I'm a pretty new Browncoat, just bought my own copy and saw it at home, but am looking forward with great anticipation to viewing it on a big screen with a roomful of other obsessive/compulsive fans.

I knew I should've bought the tickets earlier. But it didnt say sold out on the cantstoptheserenity page. NYC June 23rd screening of Serenity is sold out...NOOOOO!!! I was ready and willing to go, I'm so disappointed now I dont know what to do. I'm gonna miss the biggest day of the summer with some of the greatest fans in the world.

I have interviews in the city so I was gonna keep my formal suit on and buy some blue latex gloves...Blue Sun was almost ready... :(

Anyone know of anything I could do...or some other event? Maybe I'll just buy the dvd that day instead...

Wednesday, June 21, 2006 5:11 AM

This will be my first time in the theater too! I bought the series and movie from Amazon when they showed up in my Gold Box. Having been a huge Buffy fan, I have no idea how I was unaware that Whedon had another series on Fox. I completely blame FOX for not adequately promoting their own show or schedualing to allow it to grow into its audiance. When the movie came out I was too busy and it was gone by the time I had time. I am so excited and it is playing in Old Town Pasadena, an area I love. I am still keeping my hopes up for a Big Damn Sequel. Now that I fell in love with this verse and the characters, I am not ready to let go.

Wednesday, June 21, 2006 7:39 AM

I have a friend (not yet a member because she hasn't seen everything yet) who will not only be seeing it for the first time on the Big Damn Screen, but for the first time ever! isn't that shiny? And then she'll probably join but will have been too late to post here, so I'm going to speak for her on this thread

Not sure if I ever noticed this thread first time around. If I did I might have ignored it since I had seen the BDM on the BDS several times by then, starting with one of the advance screenings on 5/5/05.
