Well, ok, we cheered. But mentally, speechless.
*whimper*

Was he as pretty in person?

One girl did ask him to bear her children.

He responded that he didn't have any children to bear, with a kinda "And why would you want to be carrying my children around?" kind of look to go with it. Slightly puzzled. It was great. =)

And as far as all the women around me were concerned, he could have been made of pure chocolate and they wouldn't have been drooling any more than they were already.

Yup, that's the captain we all know and love. Apparently some want to LOVE him more than others. I wouldn't kick him out of bed, personally.

Fans are so funny sometimes - and I don't me ha-ha. I fear the days when they start talking about Browncoats the same way Sweeks talk about Trekkies.

*looks down* Is my fan-girl slip showing?

I will say also that Ron Glass had his own measure of charisma going. I think we were all a bit speechless ourselves to have Shepherd Book in the room. Naturally, it inspired a HUGE round of applause when his first scene came up.

Is it me, or do we have the best BDHs, like, EVER?

I was at last night's Providence RI screening; great crowd, great show, although no BDH appeared. Still, a great time and a good crew of folks to see it with.

Did anybody else have a theater experience in which people randomly burst into cheers, loud laughter and/or yellings of 'NO'? I hope so. I want to go if there's another round of screenings, and I hope to get a similar crowd of people...as far as I'm concerned, a screening without fan insanity would be like Jayne without Vera.

Morena graced us with her radient presence at the DC screening last night. Sadly I was so tired from the 6 hour drive down from NY, and so emotional from actualy having seen the film after so much build up, I could do little more than grin like a moon-brain whe I went up to get her autograph.

In the line for the Chicago showing, people kept joining in the back of the line, and then asking if it was really the line for Star Wars! When we'd say it was the line for Serenity, the most common response was "Serenity? What the hell is that?" And so we would explain. More than a few "sweeks" were impressed that something would elicit the dedication we were showing. Soon enough, we started to get a feel for who was there for Serenity, and just waved everyone else to go on by.

We had two guys in Mal costumes, several Blue Sun, Fighting Elves, and other shirts, and a Companion. As for me, since I'm from near South Bend (home of Notre Dame) and I don't have a Fighting Elves shirt, I wore a Fighting Irish shirt (with a picture of a leprechaun on it) but NOBODY GOT THE JOKE! Is it just me?

We got some swag - keychains for everyone, Summer autographing the little Serenity posters, and I made off with one of the Serenitymovie.com posters they had in strategic places. One couple from Milwaukee, who apparently make tees and such to sell on e-bay, handed out little packets of stickers - Blue Sun, Jaynestown University, etc.

Nobody sang "Hero of Canton" though, gorram it! I studied, and had all the lyrics down! (I'm too self-conscious to sing alone)

But the best part for me was being able to clap and cheer with everyone. It would just burst out of us, last for perhaps a second, and then everyone would stop just as quickly, not wanting to miss a word on the screen. We all seemed to laugh, cheer, and gasp together, at the same lines, at the same time. I can't even do that with my own family.

I've never been to a con or a shindig, but I could only hope they would give me the warm-and-fuzzies like the showing did. THAT was something special, something I'll remember for a long, long time.

No songs sung here in Atlanta. As it was the 2nd go around for the BDS, seemed most folks just wanted to get right down to business of watching.

It was interesting to see that there were 2 reserved seats, but instead of any of the crew, we got ( sorry, forgot his name) who worked on the FX stuff for the film. I think..I was way in back and didn't catch all that he said.

I was at the Boston screening with my fiancee. It was a great experience. I'm too tired to think of other stuff to say right now....

[RE: Line Jumping]

Y'know, there's a lot to be said for the system we have over here in the UK for movie tickets. Instead of waiting in line to get the best seats, you get your seats allocated when you book the tickets, and generally they'll allocate the best seats first.

This means it's really a case of first-come, first-served, and if you buy your tickets in advance on the phone/net, you don't have to be at the theatre until 10mins before the movie starts.
Usually, if you need to make changes, like adding another member to your group, you can phone or go to the cinema and they'll move your reserved seats around to accomodate if there's still space.
