I don't know anyone IRL who likes Firefly *sigh* Looks like it could be my first trip to the cinema alone :(

So, invite a friend. Maybe you'll get them hooked and then they will get the DVD's to see what they missed out on.

I've lent my DVD's out to just about everyone I know in an effort to spread the word. I'm gonna get as many of them as I can to the theater to see Serenity. Preferably more than once.

Your first trip to the cinema alone? Wow, I normally prefer to go to the cinema alone, I generally can't stand my friends asking me where they recognise someone from, what happened while they were in the toilet and stealing my popcorn.

But I'm going to the preview screening on Tuesday week with an old university friend. Wow, that's just 930,231 seconds until I see the Big Damn Movie (or at least the rough cut).

She better not steal my popcorn.

You're assuming I have friends? How kind :)

Nah, all my friends pretty much look down on everything I like film, TV and book wise. Ruddy chick-flickers!

I may be able to persuade my mum and auntie to come along. Just lent my DVDs to my aunt, she says she's watched the first three eps and wasn't too impressed. No substance to them apparently.

I have a friend who I only went to the cinema with once and then refused to go with her again. She kept jumping at bits that weren't even scary and saying things like "oh my god". Grrr.

I have another friend who whistles through his nose while he breathes and that's may more annoying than popcorn pinching.

If Serenity was still being released in April, I would have gone with the only friend I have who cares about Firefly. As it is now, I'm probably going with my sister and any other Browncoats I can round up.

You might end up going alone but I bet you'll meet another Browncoat in line or something. Just start singing the theme song and see if anyone joins you.

Actually, I'm kinda expecting Serenity to come out straight to DVD here. That would be a shame. Gotta see that lovely doctor on the big screen. Homana homana homana.

Who're you gonna watch Serenity with?

Did anyone else misread that and almost think it was Mal asking the question of Inara?

I'm going to be watching on opening night with,
Handsome Husband
Brother and Sister-in-Law
Next door neighbor and her daughter
Two door down neighbor and his two kids (probably his wife too).
Other Browncoats.

We're going to attempt to get an opening night shindig going at a local theatre.

I used to feel weird about going to movies by myself, but now I do it all the time. I don't work Mondays, so I can wait and go to a matinee on Monday and not have to deal with the weekend crowds/kids/etc. I just bring a good book to read until the movie starts.

Anyway, I'll probably see the BDM with my best friend who I'm sure I will have converted by then, and if not she'll still go with me because she loves me. (Not in a Willow way. Not that there's anything wrong with that .)

Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.
