Firefly is right over here, best thing put out in years.. you will wear it out re watching it. and the just finished shooting a movie of it and just turned it over to the CGI People and etc etc etc
Oh I must warn you though, do not start watching it the night before you have to go to work...

One lady about 70 came back and was hunting for anything new on it..
I had to explain to her about cancelled show but here eyes lit up when I told her of the movie and of this board.. she wants to start a letter campain to get more made already :)
No age limit it seems :)

I've gone into video stores that don't have it. I ask them who decides what is on the shelves. I find out how to get in touch with them and try to get them to add Firefly to the shelves! I explain that as the movie gets closer, the series on DVD will be in demand.

Great work ShepherdQ! Keep it up! We need ever convert we can get into theatres in April.

70 yrs old you say? I don't think there is anyone here that old, but I think it is great.

I misunderstood. I was talking about video rental places. (Blockbuster, Hollywood, etc.)

I live in Australia and Firefly is completely unknown. When i saw the boxset and bought it...I LOVED IT SO MUCH. As of today, i have converted five of my friends and one of my teachers into full-fledged fans by letting them borrow my set. They loved it. I am so proud of myself. I'm trying to spread the word in Australia as much as i can, but it's really hard lol. I even advertise on MSN Messenger by counting down the days until the American release of the movie, and soon i will be advertising about it on the site :smile
FIREFLY ROCKS!!!

Long live the WhedonVerse!!!

I am also in Australia (Perth).

I have my family, friends, and family members' friends fighting over my copy of the DVDs.

My local video library (Planet Video) is the best independent video library in the city and ordered in the US version of the firefly DVDs (Region 1) before the local ones were released. They're just good like that. :)

I love converting people. I have Fireflynights every once in a while when I'm at home, and my friends come. I've already converted 4 at home. And here at school, it's a lot easier to get people together, so we have weekly firefly nights. My conversion count at school is up to 4 as well, and they are starting to convert people. Wheee! I just feel like everybody in the world should get a chance to watch Firefly because it's the best gorram show ever!
