Go for it. At least seeing the movie is much better than what I'm doing right now on my birthday. (Of course, that would be periodically checking to see if tickets are available yet.)
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Well, I'm one of the folk who is kind of iffy on Firefly in general. But I feel like I should see it. And people who have already seen the preview assure me that the things I have the biggest issue with (the unexplained Chinese epithets, the Western-ish slang) are toned way down in the movie, compared to the series. So....I dunno.

Yeah, those elements are toned down. The manner of speech is the same, and we see hints of the Chinese influence, but they don't appear to the same degree they do in the TV series.

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.
Ugh. movietickets.com must be getting slammed. It's taking forever to load.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Actually, Steph, since you're not crazy about Firefly, I'd say you should probably put off seeing it until it's in its finished form.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Providence has tickets available now.

Strange, but good. MovieTickets.com seems to be loading at a faster rate for me at the moment. Now if Philly would just put tickets up for sale...

I have a feeling a lot of people have laid off refreshing until it gets closer to the next hour.

Jersey Gardens is up for sale according to a post on the movie site. Just checked and it said sold out, though. (?)
