I absolutely loved the movie, but that goes without saying. Hey folks, I went to the KC screening (complete with Buffy shirt) and the Browncoats there were so nice that I felt I had to come down here and say hello to you find people.

So, hello to you fine people. And thanks to the girl that sung "Hero of Canton."



Were you the one with the Amazing X-Men comic I was flipping through before the strawberries were passed out? I don't remember than many Buffy shirts, 'cept the one that had been gotten in the early seasons and one from TWOP.

*Bows* I had fun singing. If I go to St. Louis for another screening, I'll be making sure OTHER people know all the lyrics...

I attended the Boston showing, and it was awesome. The theater was packed full, not an empty seat that I could see anywhere, and it was one of the really large auditoriums that can hold a good 600 to 700 people.

The news crew from Comcast Cable was in the theater before the movie began, walking around and interviewing the fans and shooting scenes of the entire crowd.

I got in and found seats off to the side about 90 minutes before showtime (all the good middle seats were taken ) and once we got settled (and after saying hello to Lissa (Hi Lissa! ) we started chatting with fans around us and it certainly didn't feel like 90 minutes!

Once Joss' little intro came on, the fans cheered. At the first sight of Serenity the fans cheered. At the first sight of Mal the fans cheered. (Do you see a pattern forming?)

In all honesty, Serenity was the best movie I have seen all year, and the print we saw almost looked like a bootleg copy, with off-colors, overexposure, scenes too dark and some of the sounds not quite right yet. I can't WAIT for the real premiere on 9/30!

What's the countdown to Serenity II?

like a good buffy fan, i treat all crew members as celebrities (but loni if you read this, you're extra super awesome).

Aye, cool is what he was, for sure. I'm glad he showed up, because it made the BDS all that more special. Having someone who has been there and worked on the film was a real treat.

I'd have like to know how many 1st timers vs 2nd timers were in the audience. I know there was a fair collection of both, but as a percent of which was which, I couldn't tell.

Guilty as charged, miss.

I'll try to learn the lyrics for next time.

I was at this screening also. It was fun wasn't it?

I took my older brother, who is a sci-fi fan but had never heard of Firefly. He really enjoyed the film and we're all set to start watching (rewatching for me) the series on DVD now. He's also telling others about it, which will most likely mean more viewers.

we got there just after 9 and got some seats off to the side, they were alright but i'd prefer the middle ones. SOme people near us came from Philly to see it.

I hope there's a 3rd set of screenings, i'd like to see the movie for a 2nd time.
