I'll be seeing it again on Thursday with a friend. I've seen it twice now (including the preview), and I'm psyched to see it again, but that may be it for me for a while--I have neither the time nor the money to see it again and again right now. Although, if it's still in theatres in a month, I'll do my best to catch it again.

ita, did you watch the video at that site? I don't really feel like watching a half-hour of tiny bits of footage from episodes I have in all their glory on DVD, but I'm curious to know what scenes were chosen.

I didn't watch it either. Mostly I enjoyed the comments. Some people -- just can't be educated.

I love comments by people who were so dismayed to be sharing a theater with fans of the movie/series, listening to them enjoy the movie, laugh at the jokes, etc. that they decided not to go a second time to make a point despite enjoying the movie themselves. Hopefully they're not too cool to handle the rental DVDs without making them freeze and shatter.

I've seen Serenity six times, I consider myself a Browncoat and I've talked up the movie to friends who didn't know what it was. I don't consider myself a crackhead for any of that behaviour. I've encountered plenty of people from other fandoms that are way craxier than every single Browncoat I've met. Buffy fandom, I'm looking in the rear view mirror at you. I think FF/Serenity is just the most recent. Every fandom suffers from what a friend of mine calls "SignMyBoobism".

I've seen Serenity once but I'm gonna see it at least once more very soon. I think my record was Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which I saw in the theater 7 times.

I am one with JohnSweden.

Browncoats on the whole, far less craxy. At least the hundreds I have met.

I've heard secondhand reports of some excesses, but until I see Browncoat behavior rivaling that of the fans that went after Joss following Tara's death, I don't think they can hold a candle to some of the Buffy craziness.

Huh. Just wait until Serenity VII, The Undiscovered Country, when Jayne decides to bottom out for Dr. Tam, and right before he drops trou, BOOM, shot by crazed Kaylee.

THEN we'll see who goes Kitten.

That would be me.

You know, all in all? Difficult comparison to make.

Can't really compare what would have happened had Buffy been canceled after a handful of episodes aired. It likely wouldn't have made it to DVD at that point, so long ago. Internet usage wasn't nearly what it is, now, so a frenzied net uprising would have been unlikely.

If Firefly made it to season six, would Firefly fans have gine mental if Zoe was shot and killed in Wash's arms? Yep.

If Simon came out and had the tender Bareback Mountain love with some rancher on some moon, and then got shot in the back, and Simon went all dark simon...

You get the picture.

Are Browncoats more nuts than Bronzers? I dunno. We had the whole PBP issue and Pruittgate and Meteor, so there was that, along with Big Boy and kirbyclause before my time. Browncoats seem to identify as Browncoats wherever they call home, the Serenity board or the OB or here. Perhaps I should start calling the craxy Browncoats, "Reavers" to avoid confusion.

Completely unrelated, I never identified as a Browncoat. But it makes me smile to think a few Bronzer/Buffistas started the campaign that's credited so heavily.

Wow. That's what a post looks like when the Ambien starts kicking in. I should go to bed before more stream-of-consciousness posting causes me to tell you all WHAT I REALLY THINK OF YOU.
