Ok, you know how sometimes you go to a movie and you have those people who like to yell somthing out when sometimes something happens.

Well I heard this....

"Dude...FLY!!!" during battle scenes when Serenity was trying to get passed all those battle ships.

I just had to share! I

SPOILER--DON'T READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!

I hung around after all three shows and there were groups of people each time, just standing and sitting around, inside and outside of the auditorium, discussing the movie. I heard exclamations about the effects, funny lines being repeated and lots of questions about why the pilot had to die. But my favorites were, "This show was on TV? When? Why didn't I ever see it? Is it coming back?"

I usually just smiled to myself and kept walking--real slow so I could still hear--but I did share a a few Firefly factoids with a lone gentleman at the matinee I went to by myself. Afterwards, I was stuck in traffic and he pulled up next to me and STARTED ASKING ME MORE QUESTIONS! I was shouting answers back to him until traffic started moving again. I told him about this site and invited him to learn more about the show from us. He had started watching the SciFi channel's Friday night shows and got hooked. He was really upset to learn that this was not a new show that the movie was an introduction to. When I told him the show was from 2002 and only had a partial season before it was cancelled, he was stunned. As am I to this very day (FOX).

I can't imagine us not getting another movie out of this. It's just that good.

when serenity's not changing their course for the opeative and it turns out it's b/c they're being chanced by a bunch load of reavers.
"Oh shit!" is what i heard...or was that me?

I also forgot to mention there were also 'oh my god' with river's fighting climax. mostly laughter though. i think there was also, 'what the hell?'

but i think everybody's choice of single words are the same in this thread.

Semi-Spoiler, maybe.

I'll admit it wasn't funny, but it's something I only heard the second time around, 'cause I'm pretty sure I was one of the people whispering / shouting / breathing it the first time.

It was the word, "NO!" and the theater was full of it.

The absolute funniest thing I heard wasn't in my theatre, but my friend back in Nashville (who caught the showing that most browncoats were at, it seems) relayed it to me.

At the end, when Simon and Kaylee finally go at it, and fall to the floor on top of each other, one person in the audience calls out: "Have good sex!"

ok.
between the universal symbol and the start of the movie, me and my brother shouted at the top of our lungs "YOU CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL!!!" (my idea) muah ha ha. Right after that someone (not a browncoat) said "... for wierdos." Yup, that's me. A pure wierdo from beyond!!! However, if it had come from another browncoat i would have been disappointed with them.

River: There's too much snow on top. It's going to cave in. HIs brain's in grave danger.
Zoe: River, honey, he's putting the hair away now.
River: It doesn't matter. It'll still be there. Waiting...

Wednesday, October 5, 2005 9:36 PM

Lets see....

When Serenity wasn't changing course and then all of a sudden all those Reavers showed up, I was like "Oh shit!" with a huge ass grin on my face.

I don't actually recall any one yelling out any thing. I said a few things, but just to myself. Don't know if others could hear me.

Funny story. I'm in the theater Friday night at 7:20pm. Sitting directly behind me is a group of elderly black women, not a'one younger than 70. Here's the conversation:

EBW#1 - Could you tell us what the movie is about again?

EBW#2 - Oh yes, [pulls out a pamphlet, begins to read the standard press description] 500 years in the future, [blah blah - she reads the whole thing very slowly, while the other ladies listen closely] ... between the carnivorous reavers and the all powerful alliance.

EBW#3 - Is it like Star Wars?

EBW#2 -Oh no! It's much better than Star Wars.

EBW#3 - Oh good.

-- after the movie --

EBW#3 - Poor shepherd Book! He was the best character!

EBW#4 - And so HANDSOME!

That's great. The last time I saw it - Sunday matinee - there was who I thought to be an elderly white woman by herself. She wasn't as old as I thought (maybe 50ish), but still very surprising.

I managed to sit in front of a group of fans who hadn't seen it yet. Maybe I'm evil, but I love stting near fans who haven't seen it yet so I can hear their reaction to certain events.

Again, my sides hurt. I can't imagine trying to be quiet while someone behind me reads the press description.

The pre-screening I attended was full of a huge range of ages, multiple races, and both visible sexes. Everybody laughed, everybody gasped.

I usually love to watch movies in absolute silence so I can concentrate and I don't have people in my ear during important scenes saying: "and who was he again?" That being said, I saw the first showing of Serenity here in Aus. (at least the first on the release date) and the crowd was awesome. They reacted with every appropriate emotion at the right time, just as if they were die-hard fans. In fact most probably were, given that those who stayed til the end credits joined me in a little sing along over the instrumental version of the Firefly theme. It was great to see the emotion coming from the crowd, and inspiring to see everyone so involved. I didn't even mind when people were whispering their encouragement to the screen during the flick. Hell, I was right there with them.

Say no more. Evil's still afoot and I'm almost out of that Nancy-boy hair-gel that I like so much. Quickly to the Angelmobile, away!

As we were gathering our coats to leave, I heard a big fella -- 6'5", at least, and probably pushing 270 lbs. -- decked out in a ripped jean jacket and blue mohawk hairdo say to his friend:

Quote:
Naw, man, I just got something in my eye.

The crowd was still laughing uproariously at the "leaf on the wind" reprisal when -- well, you know -- and the reaction was explosive. I heard "No!" from at least a dozen mouths and a number of pained cries, my own included.

I didn't really pay attention to what people were saying around me on the first night..I was too busy not blinking and hanging onto every line. I remember walking out and hearing a couple women talking about going home to rewatch the DVDs.

That reminded me: you know those annoying little "manners minders" flashed on the screen before a film (at least here in the States where apparently we need them)? When the one about turning of your cell phone came on someone yelled out "Or you'll go to the special hell!" Much laughter ensued, but as soon as the first instant of the movie started, you could almost hear this huge intake of breath being taken... and then absolute silence... until we ran out of air. I was a bit too focused to notice any comments around me, but I remember hearing "...nothing between my nethers..." as we left the cinema!

Well, okay, the Browncoat screenings were the best. At my first one, shouted "I HATE YOU JOSS WHEDON!" when I thought we would lose Simon, too, and at my 2nd, well...when Kaylee says "Tell that to Inara.", my friend said
"Diss!" I said...
"Burn!" and then the WHOLE audience goes...
"OOOOOoooohhhh!" It was priceless. Then when Wash had to do the slide landing, the man in front of me yelled "SHIT!" It was an overall great experience with that many fans.

My 2nd viewing of the first weekend (4th viewing overall) brought one random thing, aside from the gasps and laughs and clapping from Friday. I saw it on Sunday, with a crowd that I feel was mostly non-Browncoats. But when the Operative walks into the Companion House and Mal looks up, amid COMPLETE silence, I hear one man in a far corner of the theater say "UH OH!" My friend and I broke down into giggles right there.

"Bwaa...it's kind of a warrior...strikes fear into the hearts of..."

I can't stand crowded theaters, so I went to a showing I figured would be sparsely attended... which it was. No specific comments overhead from this small grouping that I can relate, but I'd say River's "I swallowed a bug" line definitely got the biggest laughs.

DONCOAT

Sunday, October 9, 2005 3:11 AM

Went again tonight, 4th viewing. Larger group than any previous show I went to, though not capacity.

Oddly, this group was less responsive than some of the smaller crowds. Still heard several good laughs (Kaylee's "nethers" lament, Jayne's follow-on to that, and River's "bug" are surefire).

A girl behind me screamed aloud when the Reaver pops out from behind River in her dream sequence.

One thing happened this time that I hadn't noticed before, though. When Wash began his third and last "I am a leaf...", there was a pretty big laugh -- which turned into a huge gasp a moment later.

I think that's exactly what Joss intended in this scene: to change a moment of tension-relief laughter into instant shock. For that, the timing was perfect. When I heard the laughter start, I was thinking, "oh, you people are about to get smacked"... and they did.

Manipulative, yes. But so, so powerful.

Well the 2nd time around with a room full of browncoats I waited for Leaf smack down moment and I looked away ever so slightly.

There was the HUGE gasp of NO! and right after it:

"That shit is just not right!"

I looked carefully in my last viewing, but I couldn't say for absolute certain that it was the Blue Sun logo.

It could have been some Chinese characters.

We may have to wait for the DVD to nail this one down.

Was that Blue Sun? I could not tell because:
1. It seemed they changed the logo a bit
2. I was studying Jayne too closely

Yes it was Blue Sun, 100% sure about it.

Yeah, it was definitely Blue Sun. There's another thread about things seen in the movie that were in the show, and people there noted several Blue Sun logos.

ALSO. This is terrible. I cringe as I type it. There's a family I've been friends with forever, and their daughter has hit teenagerhood. She was a good kid before, and I'm sure she'll be good again, but... well... I was babbling on about Serenity today and said she and some friends had been at another movie (she did say it was awful, at least... all Jessica Alba's tucchus and a lot of bloody scenes - good for her) and when it was over, they killed time before their parents showed up by checking out the other theatres. She said, "Yeah, I walked in on that one, too, but we didn't stay because

I'm just pretty sure I would have gotten up and

a group of teenagers if they'd walked into and out of the theatre (talking, I'm sure) during that part of the flick. Slowly. I would have

There ought to be a separate part of the movieplex where theatre-hopping is ok and not terribly distracting -- goofy ridiculous summer comedies and Jessica Alba movies could go there -- kinda' like the kiddie end of a swimming pool. Then movies that actually require attention and thought could quit getting interrupted by ... oh heck. I'll get off my soapbox. Everybody already knows about the special hell. Sorry. Preaching to the choir.

The last time I went, there were about 10 other people besides me. Not the crowd I wanted, but then again, it was the 4:30 show. Needless to say, there was a Browncoat a few seats down from me, who brought a friend who didn't seem too excited at first.

The most obvious laughter parts were Kaylee's "neathers" line and "hell with this. I'm gonna live!" River peaking her head through the vent at the end also earned a few chuckles. There was the obvious laugh at Wash's last "I'm a leaf on the wind", followed by the expected gasps. The Browncoat in my row, who sounded like he hadn't seen it yet, swore in chinese when it happened. That was kinda nifty.

He also blew his nose at the

funeral part.

At least I wasn't the only one crying.

I was the only one to stay for the end credits, though I did leave in the middle of the theme song, because the theater employees were standing there waiting to clean up. Stupid people, not letting me finish my theme. I did, however, hum the rest of the song as I walked out.

I'm going again tonight, so maybe there will be better stories.

Mal: Define interesting.
Wash: Oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die?

Personally id kill them very very quickly, no way would i want to miss any serenity time, people like that just arent worth it.
Some would say killing is a bit harsh, removal of vocal chords is quich, less messy, and teaches them a valuble lesson. Allowing them to grow as human beings.

funny (but true)response to Kaylee and Simon kissing at the end ... "don't fall in love - Joss will just kill one of you!"

Seiously, my fourth time seeing the BDM was in a crowd on non-Browncoats. They laughed a lot at the appropriate moments and were appropriately awed, suspenseful, and sad at others. It's good to know that "newbies" get it.

Keep flying y'all.

WASHBURN

I took two of my friends for my 1st time seeing the film who were non-browncoats and during the final flight scene with the Reaver/Alliance battle I was yelling out in chinese (unknowingly) "fly you bastard fly". Afterwards some fellow browncoats saw me and laughed and slapped my back.

During my 2nd viewing of the movie I went with a whole group of guys from a local LAN center who were ALL browncoats...we had 40 strong rolling in, well when we got inside the 6 girls behind the counter were singing the theme to firefly.....we had an impromptu karoake in the concession area singing that song.

The 3rd time I went I ended up near this family. The parents were definately Browncoats as they were explaining the 'verse to their kids (prolly 13 and 15) well they got to the last scene where the doors open and there stands River.
the oldest son mumbles........."damn that girl can kick ass and look good doing it" to which the dad replies "yeah, wish yer mom was more like that" I died laughing in my popcorn

My 4th time seeing the film was uneventful until about the line by Kaylee about her twitching netehrs these 4 girls behind me started giggling until one of the girls said REALLY loudly "I KNOW THE FEELING HUN!!!" Asked her out right after the film.

I am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar.

See! See! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

None of my screenings (5) have had anybody yell "noo!" but at two of them there were these shocked, horrified screams, so I knew for sure then that I was seeing it with Browncoats or FF veterans who were seeing it for the first time.

There is no such thing as a weed.

SPOILER

Every show i went to (been to four) so far, with only one having more than me as a browncoat, got big big gasps of shock at Wash's death.

WASH: I am a leaf on the Wind!
GIANT SPIKE: No, you're a leaf pinned to a chair.

One funny one i got was during the fourth one i went to last Sunday. A girl in the row behind me, who i could tell was a fan, and seeing it for the first time, had very much love for our BDH - and didn't like the Operative.

Wasn't annoying, but every time he came on screen she was like "God i hate that guy!" "Oh no!" "Kill him! Kill him!"

Or maybe she just hates Chiwetel.

a woman in the back of the theater said "Oh my God!" in this really "Noo!" voice. It was the funniest thing, especially since the movie was completely silent right then.

"You killed Wash...YOU BASTERD!!!"

Most of audiance clapped and laughed.

That reminds me of when I went to see Episode 3. Everytime Jar Jar was on the screen the kid next to me would mutter variations of "now's your chance, take him out" and "kill him now." It was really hard not to laugh.

Nothing really happened at any of the Serenity showings I've been to. The first one was the best (opening night) - everyone gasped and laughed at all the right places. And everyone was talking about it when it ended (in a good way!)

The other three times there was only around 10 people in the theatre so it was harder to hear the responses. Kaylee's lines got the most audible laughs, as did River looking through the window at Simon and Kaylee.

Okay the funniest things I heard were when I went to go see it for the second time on opening night with two friends. One of them had just finished watching all of my DVD's just a few days before the movie so he was psyched to see this. The other guy was his best buddy who just needed to get out for a while.

Let me first give you a little background of these two men. They are both over 6 ft and over 200 lbs, and both medics and each have their very own personal arsonals in their homes. The one who has seen the DVD's is on the local Police squad and a member of the local SWAT team. The other is an ex military type. The reason I'm telling you all of this is because it means so much more when these two manly men during the Mule Reaver chase scene say....."OOOOOH I"ve got goose-bumps!" LOL

Then when *SPOILER**** (I mean really if you haven't read it already by the time you've gotten this far I can't save you) Wash get's spiked....The entire audience gasps, screams, and yells NOOOOOO! My buddy the medic turns to me and says....."NO! He's gonna live right?" I gave him a strange look and said, "What do you think? Your the Medic, He has a spike thru his chest."

Then when the crew was being picked off one by one by the Reavers he says to me, "Oh my God! They're all gonna die! They can't all die.....If they kill them all, they can't make a sequel. How are they gonna make a sequel?"

Well I thought it was HI-larious because I knew that he had truly been converted to become a Browncoat. The other guy who went with us now wants to borrow the DVD's. He said he really enjoyed going to a movie that he had no idea what was gonna happen next. He said he was truly entertained.

Well that's my 2 cents worth

but the goods are odd.
