So I spend all day long on the internet. I figure I might as well put that time to good use and get a few more Browncoats out there.
So here's my plan: I'm gonna spam 5 forums a day with a topic about Serenity for the next 40 days. That's like 5x40 = 200 forums. If 50 people see each topic, 20 of them will probably end up wanting to watch it. So thats 20 people x200 forums = 4000 new people.
If those 4000 new audience members take a friend with them, that'll be like 8000 extra people.
And if 20 or so Browncoats do the same as I'm doing, that'll be like 8000x20=160,000 people.
Realistically it'll probably be closer to 100,000 extra people. And then all those 100,000 people will tell all their friends about it and another 50,000 people will go see it.
150,000 people spending 7 dollars each makes over a million bucks to add to the opening weekend.
Anyone wanna join my (as of yet) one-man-campaign?

I'm smelling a lotta if coming of this plan.
But alas, I like it.

I've been using Firefly avatars and links to FFF & the trailer in my sig for a while, now, on all the other forums I visit. I've also started threads asking people what they think of the movie.
It's getting attention...

Thanks for your enthusiasm. I'm just trying to do whatever I can to get the Serenity sequels made and let as many people as possible see Serenity and Firefly. If you don't want to help there's no need for cynical comments, just don't reply. And you call yourself a Browncoat? Jesus.

Hey, pal - "I'm smelling a lotta if coming off this plan" - that was a quote from the show. The pilot, if I remember correctly. There ain't no reason to get all pissed. Thin skin doesn't become us Browncoats.

Yeah, but you need to visit OTHER forums too. Just posting on your few forums again and again won't convince any new people to watch it.

I know it was. I just think it was a really rude comment, that's all.

It really wasn't. I read it as it was likely meant, a joke. You conveniently missed the "but alas I like it" comment that followed, indicating that the previous comment was a joke.
More over your responce makes me very worried about the possible success of your plan. How are you going to respond if someone replies to one of your posts saying:
"I don't like sci-fi" or "I saw FireFly and thought it was crap.".
Both valid things to say, people are entitled to their opinion. Judging by your previous responce to PR not to well would be my guess.
Its not necessarily rude to post something negative about your plan.

You lost me at "I'm gonna spam."
In my experience, people don't react well to spam, regardless of what it's selling. By all means, spread the gospel of Joss to the forums you already post at, but dumping ads onto every last site on the web isn't likely to earn us converts or a good name.

And I too thought it was an appropriate and funny quote from PR. But then again, he's my hero.
