I'm a new fan and plan on seeing the movie this weekend.

I'm sorry I wasn't aware of the show back when it first aired. SciFi had it on at a bad time for me, so instead of taping the show I bought the DVD set (which I received on Monday).

I spent the last two days watching the series and I have to say that I'm very impressed. I found myself laughing out loud late last night watching the series. The series was interesting, funny, exciting and most of all had me wanting to know more... I would really love to see it picked back up as a series again as movies take to long to carry a story line.

It would make a greate SciFi series (if they would put it at a good time).

That severe? the normal trend might not hold. The first weekend report had over half of the visits were from fans. so, if everyone goes and see the movie at least TWICE as often as they did last weekend, if not THREE times more. That ought to be enough to at least cover the loss from the walkins form last weekend.

I say go and buy out the showings, just pay for all the tickets and give it out to folks standing by the box office wondering what they want to see... Put it on your credit card, plenty of loan places that will float you until the next pay check. If you already have a HELOC on your house, just go ahead and write that extra check out to yourself - pay it off when the next paycheck comes.

Go watch every single showing, do it, do it, do it!

I'm just thankful I have the Firefly DVD set. It will have to quench my thirst as I don't plan to buy the Serenity DVD.

Given the freedom to do so, anarchy will result in an organic organization unto itself.

I'm a firefly fan and I have no idea what l33t is. or how you just look at that code and know what it means. Don't you have to click it or something. Forgive my ignorance, but I just don't see how you saw a spoiler by looking at that without clicking it or something.

christ... now i really feel like a geek...

Post subject: Worst. Movie. Ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

was probably "Summer Holiday" with Mickey Rooney. Can you believe that kid was the biggest star in the world? Funny world.

Meanwhile, I'm just rounding out the weekend with a little praise for my dear peeps. Considering everything we've had to overcome, this is an extraordinary achievment. And you guys have been in the front lines. I lurk, I know all. So thanks. Some of you might know that this flick means more than a little to me.

Yes, the second weekend will tell all, as we've always known. I'm not here to push you guys -- you push yourselves way harder than I could anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the message out to the guys that aren't you, that don't know any of you, and that don't run into someone who saw the film. I'll be hounding the extremely patient Uni execs on that very subject. Like the lady said, "People have to know".

It's not that there HAS to be a sequel. It's just that I've got so many IDEAS...

As a mathematician (with degree etc.) what caught my eye was how flat a curve the range of 1-8 was with a sudden dropoff at 9-10. I would like to see the full chart. I suspect that there is a much lower theater to population ratio leading people that want to go see a movie (movie-watching is apparently popular) they go see whatever is available (if a movie is full they go to the next movie in the queue).

But seriously, Deuce Bigalow II?!? Two and three hard to fault them but why? Is he Australia's Jerry Lewis or what?

I'm a HUGE "Firefly" / "Serenity" fan but have know idea what l33t means.

Serenity has done quite well for a sci-fi show in Australia.

It's done over $2million ($1.6million USD) so far. Boxofficemojo.com lists it as having made $1.6 million in the UK's first weekend. So far 15% of $21million (9/10/05) has come from overseas.

tell me though, is the Canadian figure included in the US figure, or separate?

my god, am i really having to explain this? hold on a second, i've gotta make sure my pocket protector is in place... ok... check. and now for an extra layer of tape around my glasses.... ok... check.

Alright. L33t is the language of computer and internet geeks everywhere. It's where you take numbers and other characters and use them in the place of letters; for example L33t translates to "Leet", which is a shortened version of the word "Elite", which the people who made the language concider themselves... i guess.

search the web. there's all sorts of explanations better than mine. If you know what you're looking at, l33t is easy to translate, or maybe i'm just incredibly smart and perceptive... never been accused of that before...

Well, it took me a second to see what you were talking about, too. I'd only vaguely heard about L33t on a couple other boards.

My definition would be: It's kind of a "pig latin" for the internet.

I don't think you're a geek for knowing about it, but the fact that you could read it at a glance is kind of suspicious.
