Tempted to start guerilla marketing to the Star Wars geeks at my office.
Can you play DVDs in any way there? 'Cause that's the best way, just leave it playing, and people will start watching. I got one guy hooked on Kurosawa that way.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Adrian Pasdar: bringing hot (and ambiguously gay) to a new level since Top Gun.
Heh. The computers in my office are old... my boss/supervisor has a dvd player in hers, but that's it.
Of course, she named her son after her favorite science fiction characters, and thought the trailer looked "cool," so maybe there's a chance.

Um.

The Toronto Star already has. Yesterdays paper had a reference to Serenity as the next big sci-fi film for those suffering from withdrawal symptoms.
And yet? No preview screening.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Any reports on what movies the trailer might be playing before?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
SF folks: any chance of coordinating a before-the-movie meetup, maybe over dinner?
Sadly, I'm pretty sure I won't be able to leave work until 6:00, so I may well not get to SF until about 8:00, which is too late for dinner. I think we were planning on grabbing sandwiches or something equally quick that we could eat in line.
Katie Bee and JZ's friend, you should just meet us in line. If you get there before us, we can just give you your tickets.
Sparky1, I will do my best to save you a space in line and/or two seats.

I may have to seize the cat.
Not RotS, sadly. That movie would make Serenity look amazing.
This had been my hope, as at the theater where I saw Hitchhiker's the Serenity trailer was attached to it for a couple weeks and then disappeared and was replaced by the Star Wars one.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Stood amazed today in a grocery store parking lot. There was a custom bike, a "chopper", if we can be that '70's, with the Serenity ideogram painted on the tank.
I broke loose from my amazement and went into the store. There was a shaved-head guy with a poke-y beard and tats. I asked him if that was his bike.
It was not.
The cashier, however, chirped up. "Sure", she said. "That's mine."
"My girlfriend is really into that TV show that got cancelled a while ago."
Reality is so much better than TV.

Your tag here.
Discovery Channel is currently running "The Science of Star Wars: Space Cowboys".
BWAH!

I am a little affronted by the lack of response to my Grocery Store story.
