Alright, I'll do it! Just stop... describing me.

[hope]

I debated a bit with myself about posting about this, but heck, I've already humiliated myself/been defriended/been the target of vitriol/scorn/mocking enough over this that hell, why should I care any more? Just knowing there is at least one person out there who's watching Firefly and/or Serenity since I started talking about it is enough to outweigh all the negative.


But anyway, what I'm posting about: Serenity's second weekend. I don't want to let it fall behind. If you saw it on the first weekend, see it again this weekend. If you haven't seen it at all yet, what in tarnation are you waiting for? Go see it this weekend.

And if you can't make it to the theatre? Well, I've had a busy freaking week and I don't know if I'm up for another visit to the theatre in the next few days. But I'm not going to let that stop me, and as much as people might roll their eyes when I say this, I don't care - imma go ahead and buy myself a bunch of tickets anyway, even if I'm not going to fill up the seats in person.

So if you can afford the tickets but not the time, I encourage those with the inclination to do the same, and support Serenity with your wallet (or in my case, my credit card, hah) even if you can't make it to a theatre (if you have other responsibilities, or it's not showing in your town, or whatever).

And I hope she doesn't mind, but the prompt for this blatantly stolen from bunniewabbit, who bought tickets to support a movie not even showing in her state in order to encourage its wider distribution. Box office support, folks! It's what really counts, and every little bit does.


And, in Australian-specific Firefly news, JB HiFi is giving out free double passes to Serenity if you buy the Firefly complete series DVD from them, which they are currently selling at a reduced price - $38. It's worth it :D

I'm a bad person and did not see it last weekend, so we're going Friday. And why do people get all bent out of shape about what you post on your LJ? It's...you know...yours. Exort away...and if I don't wanna read about it, I'll scroll down past the post on my reading list. :)

[hope]

eh, i don't know what the fuss is about either. it's easier to avoid it than to get all het up and angry about it.

yaye! i hope you enjoy it this friday :D

I'm gonna go again this Sunday, my last chance before NZ. And i've been inspired to take some friends who might not otherwise go unless poked and prodded. WOOT!!

[hope]

glee! i converted my dad, who has gone onto convert a bunch of his friends... AND promised to see it while he's in the states this week. bwee!

[stimpson.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, that's awesome! :) I converted my Mum and she saw it twice when she was here in Brisbane. Muhahahaha.

Yes, but do they have copies in store? They haven't the last couple of days I went...

[hope]

I'm sure they'll get more in soon - they're usually pretty good about re-stocking. I haven't been in recently myself.

good luck!

I'm going in again tomorrow. The double pass is an extra incentive to wait until JB restock and not just try and find it elsewhere.

that makes no sense. people are mad because you're promoting something that you love and believe in? what kind of petty selfish people exist out there in lj land?

[hope]

*shrug* i guess it's okay when there's just one person doing it, but when there're lots and lots of individuals all doing it at once? i can see the frustration levels must rise due to the content of a non-fan's flist. and I can't help but take a lot of the vitriol personally, as it kinda attacks all the wide range of things i've been doing.

but eh. i care not. i'm having fun :)

I ran into two of my former students today and they are both as geeky as I am and so naturally the conversation drifted to Firefly. I own the series on DVD. They haven't seen all of it. But they knew that the film was supposed to be sent here last week but wasn't but WILL BE HERE THIS WEEK!!! Woot! So I will get to see it. And I will have them watch the DVDs of Firefly and we will get lots and lots of people in this little isolated town of ours to go see it! Please continue squeeing. I thought the whole point of LJ was to have a place to be all fannish and obsessive without being made to feel badly about it.

[hope]

THAT IS SO COOL! you'll get to see it? YAYE!!!

good on you, and your little geek friends, too!

:D

Yes, please, everyone needs to go. I know I'll be there, and I'm dragging everyone with me.

There's two different raffle contests going on for Serenity prizes, if you mail in your tickets for the opening and second weekend.. I plugged it in my own LJ and I'm hoping it might encourage some.

[hope]

woot. that's it, drag as many as you can :D

i saw some of those raffles, but unfortunately most of them only apply if you're in North America :/

should pimp them in my own lj, though, thanks :)
