Honestly, I have sympathy for the people at the theatres trying to field calls from unknown numbers of rabid fans and can understand them being a little curt. I get a little miffed after the 10th call to ask if such and such system is down after we've already sent out an e-mail saying "Yes, blah is down." I can't imagine getting hundreds of calls about it.

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I swear, it's coming out in wide release in September.
Have a great summer.

[insert something funny here]
After reading about this second wave of US preview screenings yesterday, I got all grumpy and jealous.
So I watched my entire DVD set of Firefly to cheer me up.
Finished around 6am, but.. it was kinda hard to stop!
It worked. It made me very tired, and I had some strange dreams about living spaceships, horses, more horses and yet MORE Morena (which is really starting to worry me), but there was a lot less, "GAH! They cancelled this show!?!?!?" and more, "these stories are wonderful".
I figure that September isn't really that far away.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, did I mention that I'm coming to SF on the Memorial Day weekend to pester Suela? And that I impulsively bought tickets to Serenity without even consulting my kind hostess?
I was hoping to meet some Bay Area Buffistas during my visit, but I may get to meet the bulk of you at the Serenity screening.
I mean, I live in friggin' Pittsburgh. What are the chances that I'd be traveling on the day of screening, and that I just *happen* to visit the city where preview screening is available? The mind boggles. But in a totally blissed-out, stoned whoa way, like Keanu.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Well, I am super psyched to get to meet Vonnie as well as see Serenity. Talk about your overflowing bounty.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

All is well that ends in pizza.
I worked all day.
I got a rock.
Oh well, as long as Andi moves up here and sees the DVDs so we can both be together for the September 30th showing...

I may have to seize the cat.
I gotta agree with Stephanie, but add a [sometimes]:
[sometimes] (like right now) living in NC sucks.
Worst of worsts, okay there are two, now that I think about it -
1. When I went to see HG2G, which I thought was a GUARANTEED Serenity trailer movie because I saw it where Calli saw it, and where another friend of mine had seen it, and they both saw the trailer, I didn't get it. My theory is that they replaced it with the Star Wars trailer.
2. I will be in Miami on the 16th, but not the 26th. Grumble.
But the good news is, I will get to see it in September, and it will be all finished and stuff. Yay! (My regrets include not getting the swag - I really want a keychain to go with my car, Serenity the Black Pearl - and also not seeing Joss's intro.)

Kiba. Write to him and tell him to mail you the damned DVD.
Least the man can do. Seriously.

Okay, see, this is where I get bitter.
We ran F:IA and all we got was...well, we didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
Blargh.
That's right. I'm bitter.
