Looks like Chicago's sold out now, too. Damn.
Crap. I knew I should have gotten more than one. Although it looks like two was the most I could have gotten.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
At least Oz got a mention in the msg from Joss. *sigh*
Hi Joss (in case he lurks on by)
Hi xnera, it'd be great if they could stick with no sound in space but it might not translate as well to the big screen as the TV. Especially if there is--as the trailer seems to indicate--some major space-based scenes involving lots of booms and whooshes.
Just noticed Book now has a first name according to ImDb.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yeah, SF is sold out.

If I only had a brain...
My 14-year-old daughter was grumpy about the sounds in space, too. I pointed out that the person who did the trailer isn't the person who did sound for the movie.

Since I haven't seen it yet, were there booms and whooshes? The opening shot of the spaceship had sound, but that looked like Serenity entering atmo, so I'd expect sound.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I got a ticket for Chicago!
So did I! The Chicago Browncoats are looking to meet up for dinner before the screening around 7pm (restaraunt still be decided) any Chicagoistas are welcome to join us.
I am going to be so dead at work the next day. Heh.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Re the trailer: Did the ship get a new dock door? In the series it was the same color as the ship (metallic) but in the trailer it appears to be blue.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
trailer trash:
The ballet-fu worked for me. She certainly sold the somersault w/punch move.
All the spaceship noises I could hear were in atmosphere. There was some "the fleets are closing on each other" music that was little disturbing. I couldn't tell if wall to wall score was just an artifact of the trailer.
Since Firefly is really about Kaley and Book, I think it was really clever of Joss to leave them out of the trailer. Now I have to buy a ticket.

The theater manager in Atlanta heard back from Universal. He was told that there would be discussions at Universal today about letting theatres show the screening to more people, but it would be at least 6 EST before there was a decision. The manager said it did not sound hopeful. He also said that Universal had specified that the screening be in one of the smaller theaters (it's a 24-screen theater).
Sigh.

I guess this is so they can report packed theaters. I bet, however, that "$11,000 per screen, in very limited release" would pack more punch.
