Big Damn Trailer Preceeds the Walking Dead.

So I saw George A. Romero's Land of the Dead twice this weekend... don't ask. Anyway, the first time we're sitting there waiting for the coming attractions to kick in and I lean over to my buddy & say:

"This is a Universal flick. Wouldn't it be great if they showed the Serenity trailer before it."

He goes:

"Yah, you think they will?"

At this point the lights dim and the coming attractions preamble comes up... then the screen goes blank for what seems a little too long.

BOOM... Serenity entering atmo. The theatre goes silent except for people whispering excitedly: "It's Serenity!"

I had chills. It's one thing to dload a trailer from a website, or talk about it with other Browncoats. But I saw it on the big screen. In a theatre full of people. With my own eyes.

I guess I still had little doubts buried in the back of my brain that it was all a hoax. I found myself thinking... "Go-se, it's really real", and letting go a breath I didn't know I was holding.

They even tried to scare me the second time... saving it till the last trailer instead of the first. But it was there.

And the interesting thing... no date.

I so can't wait now. I couldn't wait before, but now I can't wait even more.
