Today at the movie, when I told my friend that I'd budgeted for a ticket for every screening of Serenity opening weekend, he looked at me like I was crazy. Can you imagine?

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
All my non-fan friends who I brought to screenings are now fans, so I'm hoping that's a good indicator.
I was at a party last Saturday and I was talking with one of the people who saw the movie, and we were explaining how it started as Firefly to another friend. Mid-conversation, someone else approached and asked what we were talking about. I started repeating my nutshell description of Firefly and she didn't react, but once I mentioned Serenity, she immediately said, "I want to see that!" She must have seen the trailer at some point.
Count me in as someone else planning on seeing it multiple times. I'm trying to get a group of people I know from work to go on the 30th.

I may have to seize the cat.
Kiba, you are now required to wash out your mouth with bar soap.
Listerine will have to do, it's what I've got.
Understand that fear and believe are two very different things. I am afraid of it happening. I don't think it will, but I still fear it.
I have no idea how many showings I will or won't be going to, but that might be because as of right now I am only employed in the vaguest sense of the word (I begin training tomorrow for teaching GRE prep courses, an occupation which will bring me a vast 3 hours of work per week - so I am still looking for a 40 hour a week gig).
ETA: I got a cool number. yay!

I don't know how many friends I'll be able to drag to Serenity, but I've promised myself at least 6 viewings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was more concerned by the lack of a promo before Brothers Grimm, but they didn't seem to have a good feel for who was going to that movie.
I got that (embarassing, IMO) thing about Firefly and The Fans before Brothers Grimm. But is that just in the one theater chain?

Your tag here.

Who? moi??
A friend of mine is taking her entire office to two different showings. She isn't the only one who will be attending twice. (on opening day, that is) She is in another city, but we have plans to see later viewings together.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Kiba may be my new goddess.
Recognise: I am religiously easy.

I've never been averse to deification.

move out and draw fire
Mark the date. I am predicting that Serenity will go 20M+ on opening weekend, and that it will kick north of 100M in domestic run...
What was the price that Universal set on its head? It has to clear 18M or something for them to make a sequel?
If I won the lottery I'd just pay them the amount.
