I got to the Chicago screening at about 8:30 and they'd already filled up the inital queue they'd set up and started a new one along the wall which was over half full. By 8:45 the line had started obstructing the box office. (They had us waiting out in the lobby rather than outside the theatre in question.)
ETA: The line itself was actually pretty animated with people talking and generally being excited, plus taking pictures of the cardboard standups the Canadians had brought and the handful of people in costume, so it really didn't feel like a wait.
Huh. I thought the Kaylee cover was pretty good, but Zoe was unrecognizable.
Me too, Consuela... it wasn't quite photorealistic, but I could very easily tell it was based on Jewel Staite. The Zoe cover, however, could just as easily have used a photo of Apollonia Kotero for reference. Or Kelly LeBrock.
Bicyclops--I think I may have sat next to you, after all. I was wearing a black Austin Shindig t-shirt (Mal, Jayne, & Zoe) and attending with my "dates"/ride/peeps/married couple (complete with pregnant lady). Sitting about halfway up on the left hand side of the auditorum on the aisle? I also said "F..K" a lot, and squeed some.
If not, there was a guy there who also had a son he didn't get to sit with.
I haven't been here, so I haven't been able to mention how INSANELY GORRAM JEALOUS I am of you people and your screening-going. I won't even get to see the actual movie in September (unless we take our R&R to coincide with the movie release...but that would be insane...)
So...how is it? Is there a discussion in Spoilers?
Raquel, there was a fair bit of discussion in Spoilers last week after several of us saw the advance screening. Super spoilerrific, obviously.
So I know a few days back there were a few people who thought they might have an extra ticket to the Boston screening. Is there still one available? My housemate is dying to see it, and of course, I'm dying for her to see it so I don't have to keep my mouth shut for the next four months. Can anyone help me out? Profile address is good, or give a shout in here.
tianxiaode- Yes! That was me sitting next to you.
I should've known that when I asked the crowd if there was a seat that wasn't taken, the only person to speak up & offer a seat would be a Buffista.
And I apologize once again for stepping on your feet.
t despises, in a really mean and envious way, everyone who has seen the preview
Aw, Gus, you're CUTE when you're mean and envious.
