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.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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.

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. (?)

One thing that occasionally happens with advanced previews is that a local radio or TV station will make a deal for the entire batch of tickets for a promotion. I know that one of the local Providence stations did that for a preview (of another film) on the 16th, so it was sold out instantly. The only way to get tickets is to enter the station's promotion.
