quote: THIS IS STRAIGHT FROM SERENITYMOVIE.COM BUT THE LINK IS DOWN AT THE SITE.
Preview of unfinished movie is 5/5 at 10 pm the following cities:
Hollywood north 24, Chamblee GA 770-936-9468
Gateway 16, Austin TX 512-343-5480
Boston Commons, Boston MA 617-423-2568
Rivereast 21, Chicago IL 312-596-0333
Palms 14, Las Vega NV 702-507-1525
Eastport 16, Portalnd OR 503-775-0000
Roseville 14, Roseville CA 916-797-3466 (I called them and they said earliest they will be on sale will be afternoon of 4/27 and yes you could call the theatre for tickets)
Loews Meridian 16, Seattle WA 206-622-2434
If all sold out more cities might be added and also each person on serenity site gets 200 pts.
All have a link to Fandango but when you get there it saus "Sorry, tickets not available for purchase"
I cannot confirm it because the message board is down at the official site.
But, someone just said the following:
quote: I just bought mine! Go to amctheaters.com, choose Chicago, then Rivereast 21. Don't select anything under movie or date. On the next page, you can select May 5. Then there'll be a "Special dvanced Screening" for 10PM. Click Buy Tickets!
I went to their website and checked it out. There is indeed some kind of "Special Advanced Screening" listed, but it doesn't say for what.
I am very tempted to go, but I'd have to find some kind of transportation home. Also, I would be very tired at work the next day.

May 5th is a Tuesday. If it was a Friday I could take the day off, train it to Chicago (Port Huron - Chicago return: US$46), and hang out there for the weekend doing fun things... but Tuesday?!?

[giddy with glee] Just got 4 tickets! Rock on! Thank you sooooooooo much, Xnera!
I just went to Fandango, selected the theater (for me Loews Meridian 16), picked May 5th, clicked Advance Screening Preview, and hit 10:00. Yes!
Searching for Serenity and picking it will only tell you the movie is due out September 30th...which I won't have to wait for! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! [/giddy with glee]

May 5 is Thursday, BTW. 30 days in April, today is the 26th, Sunday is the 1st, you do the math.

You know... I just might be able to manage that. I'd have to burn two vacation days, though, which is pretty significant since I'm saving them for New Zealand.

Trevor is now on my Death List. [Edit: Seriously, dude, for someone who professes not to like Firefly, you sure show up in threads about it often enough. Are you sure you have no secret Adam Baldwin lust that you need to get off your, um, chest? ]
Teshi, if it's any consolation, they're screening an unfinished version of the movie on May 5th. Not the final version.

I actually think I'd prefer to wait. I could definitely get to Chicago for it if I really wanted to, and I'm sure I could find other things to do apart from the screening to make the trip worthwhile, but I want to see the finished product. I want Serenity, not an approximation of Serenity.

But then when you go to see the REAL Serenity you'll already know what's going to happen. I want to feel the full impact of it the first time.

As thus: The movie is very nearly finished. You've seen many pretty images in the trailer. But I've still got work to do and you've still got months before you can see it.
Unless.
And, no, I'm not talking Australia (but Hi, Australia! anyway), I'm talking here in the more-or-less-United States, a one time multi-city Browncoat sneak event. Thursday, May 5th at 10:00 pm, the movie (Serenity! Pay attention! Jeez.) will be playing at exactly 10 theaters in 10 cities across the country. You (or possibly someone much like you) (or possibly a robot EXACTLY like you, but with better manners and sonic arm-lasers, sent to take your place) will be able to buy a ticket to see Serenity months in advance. Not just the bitty trailer with not enough Kaylee and Book, but the whole film, in its extremely almost completed state.
You probably have some questions. How is this possible? What cities exactly will it be in? What are these changes my body is going through? All valid. It's possible because some clown put a bunch of Universal execs in a theater full of Browncoats and dude, they came out SWEATING, they never seen energy like that. They loved it, and even though they were already wicked supportive of the movie (see: earlier posts re: we're making the movie) they simply weren't ready for you guys. When I whinged on about pushing the date and everyone here was posting about "what do we do till September", they agreed to let me sneak it out.
Maybe they thought it was a fluke. Maybe they wanna see if people really do care about the flick. Or maybe they're just treating us with respect and kindness, though that last option confuses and terrifies me as much as these changes my body is going through (I'm "perspiring" and becoming "interested in girls", which believe me is very unsettling when you're 40.) Does it matter? The plan works for me, and it can work for a select bunch of y'all. Here's what I know:
The cities to be hit are:
Seattle Austin Sacramento Boston Altanta Chicago San Francisco Las Vegas Denver The Portland of Oregon
If you're in or near one of those, you might wanna stop by. There's supposed to be a "Can't Stop the Signal" page on this website (I don't know where it is -- hey, I remembered my damn password, doesn't that buy me any cred?) There should be more info there soon about how to get in, bringing peeps into the fold, I think there's even competetions and stuff. (All I know is I have exactly 20 Brownie points. I answered ONE triv Q and got it wrong. Forget cred. I have no cred.) Now a couple of us might just creep into one of those major metropolitan multiplexes to see if anyone does show up, so remember: swearing in Chinese ONLY.
All right. This will please the fans and satisfy the employers of Joss Whedon, so I must stop as my arm-lasers are getting tired. I politely thank you for your attention.
Should be fun.
-j.
Now I'm psyched.

I have to work at churchill downs the two days after that, and am taking a trip already this week, or i'd try to go, but if it were here, then maybe i could go. Posts: 376 | Registered: Sep 2004

One week later and we'd be okay. That's my last class, though, and we are filling out team member evaluations. I'm thinking skipping class would go badly for me. Posts: 26077 | Registered: Mar 2000

All sold out already. Not like I was really going to be able to go anyway though. Guess I just have to wait until September when I will most likely end up seeing it repeatedly.

If I like the unfinished version next Thursday, I'll also see it in September. The trailer has me excited about it, but I've been let down by trailers before. Luckily, the fact that it was an awesome TV series bolsters my expectations of it.

Heh, today's Penny Arcade comments on the Serenity pre-showing. I didn't link it because it contains some pretty bad profanity.

I'll assume that you know enough about my travelling antics that you wouldn't make that offer idly, Jon. And it's not like I haven't been looking for an excuse to come up for beers.
Gimme the weekend to figure out my money situation. Posts: 5264 | Registered: Jul 2002

Mac users use Quicktime to watch that, everyone else use VLC MPlayer or something thats smart with h.264 codecs.
