Leanna, I am pretty sure the Australia release date has been announced. Check out the Universal board in the Movie Production threads. I think they are planning a big shindig to coincide with the premiere.

Don't worry about putting spoiler material in the spoiler brackets. Not everyone on the board wants the movie to be a complete mystery when they go in to see and the people who want the movie to be a mystery won't highlight the spoiler brackets.

Kaylee isn't so innocent in the sexual arena, as she seems as an overall character. Also, she has been chasing Simon all over the ship since the first episode of the show.

Exactly. She's not that innocent. Remember in Heart of Gold how she asked out loud if there were any boy whores who would service girl folk since no one else (think of a certain doctor) was stepping up to examine her.

I don't know why it is such a big deal to have spoilers on the board. If people put their spoilers in the spoiler brackets so that people who don't want spoilers don't have to see them, there shouldn't be a problem because everyone can make their choice about viewing the material.

Just don't tease with vague spoilers that tell people who want to see spoilers nothing concrete.

I've been re-watching the DVDs for the ummm.... never mind which time, :D and I do believe that the line is appropriate if racy. Given the character's past I cannot see how you can complain about it. Quit being puritanical.

Kaylee is a self-assured woman who knows what she wants, but perhaps does not always know how to go about getting it. Don't we all? "Don't let the space bugs bite." D'oh! Be honest, how many times did you blunder about in a relationship? It's lines like this delivered with supreme skill that make the show so watchable. It's as close to reality as one can get, yet hitch a ride on a space ship. Joss writes the characters as real people, so it is no wonder that Kaylee says what she does.

And to Ms. Staite, about the scene with the bounty hunter in the engine room in "Objects in Space." I was ready to kill the SOB on the spot, my blood boiled. You had me hooked. Fabulous performance! Not since Diane Lane in "Unfaithful" and the train ride scene did I my jaw drop to the floor at such acting skill. Bravo!

I really hope the film is successful. I think I speak for all of us when I say we all wish for more.

Well, since Jewel has talked about her 'infamous ' line, I'll venture into the territory of discussing spoilers.

I too was at the London screening, and agree that that line probably got the biggest laugh of all (and there were several big laughs!)

It may be a difference between a British and American audience, that a lot of our TV etc is a lot more explicit about sex, nudity etc than American TV in general.

I see the line as TOTALLY in character for Kaylee. She has no hang-ups about sex whatsoever. I suspect that this was intended as a reflection of the 500-year-in-the-future nature of the 'Verse - it's one of the things that has changed. Another reflection is the attitude towards the proffession of Companion.

Kaylee had had no problems finding and enjoying sex ever since she first became interested. Look at how she flirts with her crowd of admirers in Shindig. Look at her relationship with Bester. Look at her conversation with River at the end of OIS. Look at her interest in the 'staff' at the Heart of Gold. And many more offhand comments throughout the Firefly we got to see.

Which is why she finds Simon's reluctance so puzzling.

I certainly won't argue with Jewel. I absolutely agree that the line sounds like it's in character. It sounds like kind of a progression for her in terms of how bluntly she's hinting to Simon. In Heart of Gold we get "It's not like anyone else is lining up to 'examine' me." In OiS we get "[can i picture you] naked? Gee, I don't know...." The movie is six months later. No more hints.

How do you guys find these screenings?

i stumbled upon the screening by chance. Just hang out at your movie theatre all day and night until you find a guy from the Neilsen group handing out fliers for an unnamed sci-fi movie. That's all you have to do!
