Second Round of Serenity Screenings Sold Out

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the just-can't-wait dept.

j1ggl3x writes "From a Rotten Tomatoes news article: 'Following the sell-out success of the May 5th pre-screenings, creator Joss Whedon recently announced that more advance previews of his movie Serenity would appear at twenty theaters in twenty cities, this time on May 26th. By the next morning, well before the official list of cities was posted, fans on the Serenity movie site and elsewhere had diligently located half the listings through trial and error and several of the locations were already sold out. Serenity hits theaters on September 30th.'"

    I predict the film will do as well as Titan AE

    A very few vocal individuals does not a viable audiance make.

    You'll note that the networks are in the broadcasting business.

    That said, Baywatch made it ten years on heaving breasts, bad dialogue and thin plots. That Firefly couldn't make a season on the same formula with the addition of a space whore should serve as an accurate indicator of how terrible it really was.

    This stuff has been mentioned on slashdot.

    I've never heard of this.
    I asked some friends on irc and they said this was some series directed or created or something by same dude who did buffy vampire or some other lame TV show.

    How the fuck is this news?
    How is this news for NERDS, I've never heard of this junk.

    And since this is the 3rd time this shit is getting posted here... Wtf, who's getting paid?

      Firefly is to Slashdot as Apple is to Slashdot. Trendy Hipster Bullshit. Basically if anyone or anything mentions it (Firefly or Apple), it merits a front page post, regardless of whether or not it sucks. It would be interesting to see how many slashdot hipsters heads would explode if someone posted a story that covered both.

    Not to mention, that if the broadcast itself doesn't make money, something else will eat it's lunch.

    That said, a series about space whores probably sells DVD's well because the wife doesn't know what hubby plans to do with it, or what that creaking is when it gets popped in the DVD player a 1/2 hour after she goes to sleep. Plausible deniability. Saving marriges. Killing sperm.
