Watching the premiere of Night Stalker, which is not impressive so far, but one of the main characters - a guy - is named "Jayne".
Now where did I hear of a guy named Jayne?...

Last weekend a couple of my friends who've only seen the occaisional episode of Firefly and enjoyed it, but never really got hooked quoted Mal and Jayne's "Do you want to run this ship?" "Yes!" "Well...you can't!" bit at each other out of the blue, which made me happy.
Tuesday I got tickets for the 7:15 show tomorrow for me and two friends. My friend EJ is so excited about the movie, she's insisting we get there around 6 so we can get in the theater as soon as possible to get good seats.
She called either today or yesterday to try and get another ticket for someone else, but told it was sold out! I'm not sure if it's for the whole day or just that showing, but she's already a talking about buying an ticket for Saturday or Sunday, or maybe next week when we get to there. Or maybe tickets Saturday or Sunday AND next weekend.
Oh, my gosh, I didn't even think about the possibility that it might be sold out! Gah... maybe I should buy tickets from Fandango now.
Eek, I hope that doesn't happen here. I've roped 10 people into going with me tomorrow night at 9:30. (I'm also seeing it at 3:45. *cough*) I got my ticket and one for someone else because they're coming from NYC and don't know when they'll arrive, and I know at least one other person in my group got an advance ticket, but that would be awful if the others got shut out of the same screening. It's still up on MovieTickets.com, so it looks good for now.
I'm worried that all of the theaters local to me may not be showing it. So far, Serenity isn't listed at the three closest theaters. One theater mentions it as coming soon this Friday on their phone recording, but I guess I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow to know for sure. Or, I could, you know, speak to a human there.
If all else fails, Fandango shows a theater an hour from me running Serenity tomorrow, so at least I have hope.
Edit: Dammit, the human at the theater says they're not going to show Serenity tomorrow. Just wait till Monday when the numbers come in, they'll be sorry. Well, at least the theater an hour away is most definitely showing my movie.
Stupid rural area... ::grumbles::
I can't believe it starts tomorrow. In Juneau! I'm taking the day off work (I feel so decadent), and we're having a small shindig at a friends house (7-20 people). I wasn't sure what to serve, but have decided on Chinese appetizers and cut up apples (with one not cut up with a knife sticking out of it for a centerpiece). I would do strawberries, but I don't think I can get fresh right now.
As soon as I leave here, I'm off to buy tickets, having been scared by these sold-out tales. Unfortunately, I must walk through the pouring wind and rain to get these tickets, since my local theater doesn't participate in any online service. This just shows what a loyal (and loony) fan I am, though. Right?
I'm buying my tickets first thing tomorrow (cough payday) morning.
Serenity's up to 80% on Rotten Tomatoes.
I don't know if y'all were paying attention to the Bureaucracy discussion, but as of September 30th (board time, shall we say), ALL SERENITY DISCUSSIONS ARE BLACKFONT AND IN THIS THREAD.
FYI.
