That might work. A brilliant solution Dave.
Myself I can count 4. One of them is a brother that I hounded, but he saw the show in the beggining (only a few shows cause you know Fux fuxxing up) and he had to have a little time before he got into it again. Borrowed him my boxset and was hooked. (He also ruined two of the covers and now owes me a shiny new unmarked set. grr, watch out that doesn't happen to any of you)
A girlfriend in California was reeled in recently, I told her about Firefly, and let me tell you I become very passionate when I talk about Firefly with close friends and family, she became curious but I wasn't sure if she was interested, then she tells me she gets tickets to the early prescreenings (the ones that were used as virul marketing with limited then more wide range release) and of course I was burning with envy, but I was happy because I knew when she saw it, *bang* she'd realize why I got so passionate. Sure enough after the movie (at which I had to enforce the rule of no spoilers) she was going to make sure to see the show. She Netflixes them, and though she isn't a huge fan, she is a psuedo Browncoat (maybe a Fawncoat, you know, off brown)
And the last two was a girlfriend of mine and her son, they had heard about it and weren't sure to rent or buy it, but a little encouraging made them go all out and buy the DVD's and they are yet 2 more to the fold. I actually went to see the movie with them on opening day. It was very enjoyable, until well, you know.
As for those I know who aren't interested, that'd be the rest of my family, I've tried, believe me I've tried, but I've gotten to be a pest to the point where they don't want to hear it anymore. One of them saw the show on tv and catagorically refuses to see anymore. I might MIGHT have a chance with one other, we'll have to wait and see.
Oh, and the two friends I saw the movie with, well the women's sister is also a friend of mine and has taken a curious interest in it. When I get to talk to her again I'll be pushing for her to watch, letting her know how wonderful this Verse is and extohlling it's virtues, and I'll get her sister on my side so we can do a doubleteam.
If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

I have had six friends & family members actually go out & purchase the series DVD. I have had eight buy the BDM DVD.
