It's a good way to relax from the holiday stress and see your favorite movie!

Many of the Raleigh area Browncoats are going to be there even though it's NOT A CSTS EVENT, but you can see the BDM the way it should be seen, on the big screen.

See you there!

Let's see, $5 for movie ticket + airfare to Raleigh...let me do the math.

Sorry, not happening at this time. Good luck though, hope you have a great turnout.

I'm driving from Washington, NC, about 2 hours away. But I am taking a vacation day for Friday the 5th and staying the night.

Doing mega Christmas shopping in the big city the next day. It's part of my Christmas present to myself.

I'll be there! There will also be a browncoat dinner and gift exchange prior to the screening. We'll be meeting at 6:30pm in The Colony's lobby to move to a different nearby location for the dinner. If you wish to participate in the exchange, please bring a gift one crew member would give to another, like dinos for Wash, tea for Inara, or gun wipes for Jayne. Please limit the price of the gift to $15 maximum. Hope to see many people there!

I'd be there in a heartbeat if I didn't have class that night.

And I even live in Raleigh now!

Hmm... proximity plus class means... it's final exam-related isn't it?

That's why you're not comming?

We'll be happy to have you. Just look for a big, chatty group, and that'll probably be us.

Btw, Jim (who set up the screening in the first place) posted this on his MySpace page:

Thanks, Jim!

For a relatively small population, you folk do right well in RTP - I wish we in San Jose were as successful. Good luck on your continuing efforts to sustain interest in the 'Verse.

Sadly, yes. "It's the last class of the semester, here's what's on the final..."

Also: The Colony's showing JCVD AND Synecdoche, NY?! I may have to schedule a double feature this weekend...

Synecdoche, NY is a wonderfully quirky, strangely unsettling movie. You will laugh, be confused and often times be downright perplexed.....but you will not be bored.

Happy Go Lucky, my son says its a good movie.

Don't know JCVD.

But Serenity.....enjoy guys. Gorram lucky ducks out there in Raleigh. On the Big Screen too!
(I won't feel so bad on Wednesday, I get my FF series in Blu-Ray - Happy, Happy - Joy, Joy - sorry could not be helped)

I know that class. It is a very important class! Your presence will be sorely missed, but then again there's always CSTS 2009 to look forward to.

Break a leg on the exam! *hugs*

Yes, but do you have a Blu-Ray player?? :P

Here are the plot summaries from imdb.com for the other two movies playing at The Colony this weekend:

JCVD:
Between his tax problems and his legal battle with his wife for the custody of his daughter, these are hard times for the action movie star who finds that even Steven Seagal has pinched a role from him! In JCVD, Jean-Claude Van Damme returns to the country of his birth to seek the peace and tranquility he can no longer enjoy in the United States.

Synecdoche, New York:
A theater director struggles with his work, and the women in his life, as he attempts to create a life-size replica of New York inside a warehouse as part of his new play.

Both movies are comedies, and they look interesting. I've never seen a Van Damme movie before because they've never appealed to me, but this one I would go see if I already didn't have other obligations this weekend. Self-deprecation is never lost on me.

And I'm very much looking to that! Especially since I couldn't make it this year.

Thanks for the JCVD synopsis. Seems interesting.

Oh, you're lucky! I can't afford one yet. Let us know if you learn anything interesting or new on the Blu-ray.

And, no problem on the synopsis.

It should be noted that we won't be eating dinner else where at 6:30. If you wish. please eat before you come to the theater.

The official plan (if you can call it "official") is to meet in the lobby at 7:00 and have the exchange there.

Sorry for any confusion!
