The Charlotte Browncoats will see it tonight at 7:20p!
The Ballantyne Village Theater -- leather recliner seats -- wine & cheesecake as concessions -- FANCY!

Broad St. is about an hour away from me, normally not too bad, but I just bought a building for our business and my other half works full time then comes here, so right now it's not an option :(
Any word on when White Noise 2 DVD is out?

So how packed was your theater?

Well it wasn't packed but it definitely wasn't empty either, a pretty good sized crowd. I don't think it'd be a bad movie to take a girl to MrShinyverse but I wouldn't consider it a date movie or a romantic comedy (which is what I thought it would be like going in). Stoweaway, wine and cheesecake? Wow. I just went with the good old fashioned popcorn and cherry coke.

My girlfriend, who has seen firefly and slither and all that for the first time turned to me during the film and said, "I liiike him." I replied, "yea, hes cool," doubletaked and then said, "oooh, like that!"

And oh yea, is Keri Russel really really small or did I just never realize that Nathan is a BIG man! Not fat or anything but just tall and porpotioned....largely!

Anyway, as for what I really thought of the film,

Select to view spoiler:

I thought it was really very good and can definitely see why they originally put it out on mothers day. However, I was a little disappointed with the end and how Jenna ended up treating Jim. But then again, maybe its just because I went in there rooting for Fillion. Besides that I thought it was really funny and Andy Griffin was fantastic, even if him leaving the money was a bit predictable. In fact, if it weren't for that I'd probably consider the movie a little man-hating with the way Jenna blew off Jim and how all she needed was her daughter and her best friends.

So...not the best movie ever, but very original and I'm sure it was a hell of a lot better than anyone of the big blockbusters playing down at the mall.

Saw Waitress this afternoon in Raleigh (really Durham) at the Southpoint Cinema.

The stadium theater was about half full, about half and half men and women and the average age looked to be 30+.

I absolutely loved the film and I was a bit weepy at the ending, but Nathan put in a fantastic performance. Goofy, bumbling and sweet at the same time.

I'm going to see it this weekend in St. Louis, MO. It's showing at a few theatres here with several showings a day.

I saw it was on the top movies listing in the newspaper - maybe number 12? not sure.

I saw it friday, and generally agree with DM's hidden review I might have liked it a Bit more than he did though... I actually dreamed about it last night! Kerri Russel may be my next big crush lol, but my heart belongs to Summer

I'm going into the city (chicago) tomorrow to see it, and maybe another movie called "Once". I'm making my sunday into a double feature. I'm not ashamed to say it.

Saw it Saturday afternoon, in a smallish theater, about 250 seats, about 1/3 full. Way bigger crowd than the crowds when I saw the BDM, or HitchHiker's Guide, or even Prairie Home Companion, all Saturday afternoons, so that's a REAL good sign. Mostly older auudience, lots of little old ladies. Took my wife and daughter, age 23. W

We all loved it, loved Keri Russel's performance, loved Nathan. He's playing it a little bit " clueless Mal Reynolds who doesn't get women", but we like that.

Funny parts VERY funny, a lot of serious drama. A very entertaining movie, and at the same time, a very nice piece of art.

I can see why the folks at Sundance picked it, and it restores my faith in their judgement.

I'm going today with my stepmom, who only rolls her eyes whenever I mention Firefly.
Maybe that attitude will change after today!

Any references to our show in the movie? From Nathan or anybody else?

Saw it last night with the Charlotte Browncoats. Our theater was packed with little old ladies too. They were there to see Andy Griffith. And he did not disappoint! His part was brilliant IMHO.
I guess I went into this thinking Nathan was the co-star of the movie. So I was a little disappointed to find him as a supporting character. He did a magnificent job, of course. I just wish the part had been meatier -- but that's just the Browncoat in me.
I have never been a fan of Keri Russell but this movie might change my mind. I'm still processing it -- lots of heavy topics to digest -- so the verdict's still out.
Never thought I'd laugh at things like abusive husbands and infidelity. Adrienne Shelley made a perfectly watchable message about some heavy issues.
It was definitely worth the wait.
