Actually, she didn't say that. "Physical skills" doesn't have to equate to fighting.

And thanks for the warning about the Serenity site. I rarely go there anyway, but I'll be sure to avoid it now.

I made the fatal mistake of going over there and opening what I thought was not a spoiler thread and read something that I'd really rather not know.

It will in no way diminish my enjoyment of the movie, but it was a plot point I would have rather been suprised about.

So, due to this, I will have to avoid that board until I hear that they're hiding those messages from the main screen.

I seem to have double-post-itis today.

I believe I said, "physical skills" That does not necessarily mean "fighting skills." Could mean she's figured out how to levitate. She had us thinking she had melted into Serenity there for a few minutes in OiS too, don't forget.

But if that, to you, translated to "fighting skills," then that's not exactly something I can predict or fix. I can apologize and watch my words in the future.

Earlier on this morning, the spoilers were all over the place...I think the mod, or board manager has been trying to identify them as they appear and moving them to the I've Seen Serenity Forum. But, not, of course, before I saw more than I wanted to see. I honestly haven't minded finding out what happens in other movies, but I didn't want to know about Serenity...And, I had my mind made up for me. But, it appears that they are trying to solve the problem themselves.

So,...that's mgood.

*Twitch* I also made the mistake of wandering to the site to see what was about (Why? Because I'm a tad bit stupid) and I believe I've been downright spoiled. I was quick to close the window, and I'm hoping it was a fake, as I can't believe that could happen...but, alas, I urge anyone, even people who are pretty lax about spoilers, to keep away from that site for a bit. If not the site as a whole, at least the 'I've Seen Serenity' board. *Shrug*

By all means, if you want to be spoiler-free, stay away.

But, if you've seen the movie or are already deliberately spoiled (like me), I'd encourage you to go to the UB (Universal Board) to show your support for the movie as it is. At least, I hope this will be your position.

While there, check out the "Open Letter to Shakespeare" written by a fan to humorously push back the negatives. It's the best thing I've read on the boards in a long time. But it also contains SPOILERS so don't go if you want to be spoiler-free!

And thus we discover the enormous downside of this whole advanced screening business for the vast majority of Browncoats everywhere. (in addition to the frustration and sadness of not being able to see said screening in the first place)

Sigh.

I think it's really cool that 'Versal did this. I think it's really great that it got the buzz machine buzzing for the BDM. But... But... Man. It's really just sort of been a horrible experience for me.

I haven't been spoiled (yet) thank the skies. But 5 months! With the boards and conventions littered with people who have seen it? I'm sure it's only a matter of time.

I'm really glad for the fans that got to go. I'm sure the experience was pretty darn magical for them and I wouldn't want to have denied the lucky ones that excitment. But GRR frickin' ARGH! It's just... weird now, you know? For the rest of us.

Sigh.

Very mixed emotions about this whole thing.

So as I said to the 4 other ticketless Browncoats standing outside the Atlanta theater with me at 10:10 on 05/05/05, reality finally sinking in, hopes of some sort of benevolent 'Versal miracle crumbling, trying to fathom the space between here and damn near October:

"Well...here I am."

I had the same horrible experience of a large troll throwing a rock at my head... I will continue to deny that I was ever hit by said rock, even as I brush the pebbles out of my hair and down some aspirin. I've also opened up a yahoo group (Austin Browncoats) to avoid spoilage and get the info moving a little faster (I was 1 hour away from buying a ticket myself!)

Heh, it's cool; not like that's a big deal or anything. I was just illustrating the point that it's real easy to unintentionally give things way...
