I did not intend to imply that I was going to do this. I am far too busy to stand around and try to sell the movie to strangers.
These were the words of a girl I stood in line next to at DragonCon while waiting the manditory 3 hours in line for the cast Q&A.
Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony.

Just for that, I'll see Serenity many times a week until it goes off the box office.

BTW, does your sig come from Terry Pratchett or did you hear it elsewhere?
*gasp* Terry Pratchett? Where? (just kidding)
You know, if this movie would have come out in April, I'd feel better about doing my part because I would have still been in high school and able to watch it constantly with a different group of friends each time. Now that I'm in college, I have no money and no friends. *cry* That's not entirely true. I will go and see the movie at least once on that Friday and I have met other browncoats here, so I will bring them with me...or follow them. (I have no car.) But I will not be able to see it lots of times the way I wanted to. *sigh* But you have no idea how crazy it is to see those letters on the front page. 15 days left. Fifteen! Seems like yesterday it said 208 or some ridiculous number. Not that time flies, but you spend forever waiting and you get startled when it gets here.

I stand by my promise of month's ago to go every showing (or at least buy the tickets) the first 2 weekends and frequently thereafter!!!
Maybe the Browncoats that want to pursued non-Browncoats can print out some flyers to pass around. I know there are some probably in the Blue Sun room for people's use. Check with the theater first on their rules for passing stuff out.
I'd like to get a running contest going for how many times we've each seen it..... I'm at 3
I aim to misbehave!

I've made a promise to myself that every single time I see the BDM in the theater, I'm buying one extra ticket, in memory of a browncoat who passed a while back. And I'm planning on seeing it twice a week, every week, as long as I can find it in any theater. So what if I have to eat ramen noodles for a month!

Hi, I've been reading these boards for what seems like years, but I have never posted anything before this. I just wanted to say thanks to all the Browncoats who made this movie possible. I remember when Firefly was first cancelled and thinking, damn, that was a good show. I hate FOX.
I sent a letter to SCI-FI asking them to please consider picking up the show, but that was the extent of my Firefly activism. I gave up. Every once in a while I'd look on this board (or the FOX board when it was still running) to see what was going on in the Firefly verse', but for the most part I gave up on any possibility that Firefly might come back.
So you can imagine how excited I was when I heard Serenity was being made. I couldn't believe it! Someone actually listened to us and is making a movie. Or should I say listened to you guys. I guess what I'm trying to say is you guys rock! You guys kept going when others gave up.
Thanks everyone!

I never honestly thought you did intend to do that.... U sound 2 damn intelligent to go for a thing like that. I posted for the benefit of others who may be um...well...less tempered.
and yes...good call whoever it was.... "The Build a man a fire" thing IS Terry Pratchet. Clever lil pumpkin.
and yes, I have seen the movie and plan to see it many more times. Busy showing the Firefly DVD's to all my friends who will watch (they havnt failed to hook a fan yet...cept my lil brother...but anything I like he doesnt. just the way it is).

Welcome to the board Daria28! Glad to have you come out of lurk mode & post w/ us.
Browncoats may be too pretty to die, but we are sure as the Special Hell too stubborn to quit! That is why we never gave up hope, and we pushed to get the DVDs & the movie. Now we just need to push to make the movie successful.
You might not have been involved w/ helping before Daria, but you can certainly help now when we need it. Convert your friends & family. Spread the word about the movie & take people w/ you to see the movie on opening weekend. Go again while it stays in theatres. Take someone w/ you to share the joy of Firefly/Serenity.
We need 80 million globally to have a shot of getting a sequel. With your help we have a shot to keep flyin'!
