Serenity Screenings Sell Out
DizzyEllie writes "Last Wednesday, Universal offered fans of Joss Whedon's Serenity the unique opportunity to screen an unfinished version of the movie in ten cities. This was originally intended to pull both fans and non-fans into the fold, but the screenings sold out so quickly (less than a day for all cities to sell-out, but reportably just a few minutes in a couple of locations), it is clear that only the hard-core fanbase will make it in. This seemed to be completely unexpected by Universal, as ads were appearing in newspapers after the sell out, and incentives for the fans to promote the screenings were removed. The screenings will be held in 10 cities on May 5. Serenity: The Official Movie Website" Definitely a unique promo thing. Shows serious stones too- I mean, if the movie sucked, they wouldn't dare do something like this. Hopefully someone will post a review for us on wednesday. And the rest of us suckers have to wait until September. Bah.
Don't hate. He does good grocery.
It was cancelled almost immediately after airing the first episodes.
...and yet The Simple Life is still running. Does that seem right to you?
.sigh
Bad Guy: I want to work this out like civilized men. I'm not threatening you. I'm unarmed.
Mal: Good. *BLAM*
Reminds me of this past post:
MS: Beta Software Good Enough for Production Use
(Only, this time they're charging.)
The people that are interested don't care that it is still beta. The people that do not want to consume an unfinished product will stay away.
Wow, when does that come out?
I was conned by an old man in a cloak. It turns out those *were* the droids I was looking for.
More importantly:
Every male Firefly fan: Wants to nail Kaylee. Thinks Simon is an idiot for not going for it.
Jewel Staite broke my "never attracted to anyone younger than my little sister" rule. Apparently Joss had her put some meat on for Firefly; she looks great.
