No movie details here, I promise.

Sean and Morena showed up, just said hi and thanks for coming, then sat with the audience for the movie, saying they hadn't seen it before. Afterwards, they had a signing.

The movie was prefaced by a really nice, amusing short taped appearance by Joss, saying it was "our" movie and thus our fault if it was bad. (Joking, of course.) But really, it was about getting the word out and making sure the film is a success. I hope someone with a better memory can post more of what he actually said. It was trademark Joss--funny and moving all at once.

NO details, except to say that I am one of the world's pickiest people, and I really really really really really liked this movie. As other reviewers have said, the fans will NOT be disappointed.

Hang in there until September.

I was there, too. Had a great time, saw a great film.

I was also totally awed by the great atmosphere with all the other Browncoats, much better than other fandom-groups I've experienced.

Also, as icing on the cake, I went with a friend of mine who'd never seen anything Firefly before, and he loved it.

Great news that your mundane friend liked it. We have been a bit worried that this movie isn't accessible to non-fans.

Wasn't the atmosphere awesome? People were just so friendly. We were first in line, but the way they herded us, they were going to start the line at another point. The nice folks at that point actually told the theatre employees to start where we were, so as not to be unfair.

LOVE YOU BROWNCOATS!

Definitely amazing. The theater staff seemed really cool about us, too.

it was so wonderful...the movie was AMAZING, and getting to meet sean and morena was just...unbelievable. they were pretty much the most gorgeous people i could possibly imagine. they were so nice too! when morena smiled at me and said "hi" i just about died...same with sean, although i don't even remember what was said because he was so HOT i couldn't process anything lol.

i was dissappointed we didn't sing all the verses of hero of canton...but at least we sang the chorus:)

Hey! I was there too (anyone at Grand Chau Chow afterward? I was wearing the "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" t-shirt).

I echo what everyone else said. It was great, the Browncoats are great, Sean and Morena are true champs for coming out (all jetlagged and hungover as they were!)

Can't wait for everyone to see this so we can start talking!
