was just wondering, how many times is everyone planning to see the film and how many people they are bringing with them????

I have seen it once with my flatmate (also a firefly fan) on friday, and i am going to go next staurday with my best friend (again a firefly fan, I converted both of them, go me :thumbsup: )

And i am trying to convince the other half to go with me also during the week or on saturday with me and my friend.

I have also been bugging my little brother to go see it (I promised him pretty ladies through the film lol) with his friends and girlfriend (i would promise her pretty men through the film, but havent had a chance to talk to her about it :) )

So if my plans go well, i will have been responsible for 10 tickets being sold, thats not too shabby, some may even say that it was shiny !

though, i am no where near as good as the folks over at the cantstopthesignal.co.uk Some of them have went to see it 7 times since friday, now that is impressive!!!!! :drool:

Well I managed to convert one of my friends to Firefly who in turn converted her boyf. We are all planning on seeing it again so that will be 6 tickets.

I haven't been able to convince my brother yet but he will probably go and see it and not tell me. :rolleyes:

I'm trying to get another friend to go as well :) and if I have to see it yet again so be it

:lol:

I've got three on my list so far. They're all newbies but on having seen the trailer they are all quite up for it.

My better half will be dragged along also, so I guess that makes four. :)

I'm just arranging a trip for 4, maybe 5, people in the office, so in I'll have been with 8 other people after that, and it might not end there :lol:

Hopefully going again one evening this week, taking with me two friends who are both Firefly fans :thumbsup: Went on thursday with Ant and his friend, who's never seen Firefly and currently trying to talk another 2 friends into coming with me on another day :lol:

Can I count Paul twice? In that case it's 9 :lol:

If I take Ant again, I'll count him twice :lol:

<_<

Now, now... that's just cheating! :lol:

yup, count the number of tickets that you are responsible for selling, it doesnt matter that it might be the same folks a few times as even if it is, That still means more money for Serenity

giving more chance of making these guys more famous and more chance of a sequel ;)

Got to count my three tickets as well then, 11 :lmao:

Bloody hell Steveo! You've done it. Well done mate. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I think :lol:

I tried to get my sisiter to go but she doesn't particularly like sci-fi, I made one of my brothers go though.

You're welcome! The half pint is as good as yours. Promise! :lol:

11 is good!!!

thats amazing

does anyone know if the UK box office figures for this weekend have been released yet, am frantically waiting to see how much money Serenity took opening weekend

The list on the bbc site was last updated on the 4th so I guess they'll update it again tomorrow.

Gossi posted this over on the Browncoats board:

"The numbers aren't out yet, but Variety pins it at just over $1.6m for the weekend"

only 6 :shrug:

i found a winner

:lol:

I hope he kept one for himself....... :lol:

Unless of course it was mr Whedon....in which case he's probably seen it.... :rolleyes:


Ok....question for all you folks who have seen the film........

Due to both of us being stupidly busy the last few months, the missus and I have not had the chance to sit down and watch Firefly (I know..... :blush: ) So....I know a fair bit about it but the missus hasnt even seen the trailer....I've convinced her she needs to go and see it on the big screen.....but....

Do you really need to have seen Firefly BEFORE seeing Serenity, and would seeing the film first ruin things for first time viewing of the series?????

Obviously......no spoilers please..... :)

Stuart, no. Things that aren't clear in the film are not clear from the series, I think.

:ponder: no and no

I saw it with Dave (Hippy) on Friday. He'd never seen the series and he loved the movie, so I reckon you'll be fine, Stuart :)

It helps obviously but isn't absolutely necessary (Hippy hadn't seen the series before and he liked it)

Note to self - see what other people have written before replying :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol:

thanks guys....and gals...... :thumbsup:

I was pretty sure the film would stand alone ok, but I was a bit worried seeing the film first would spoil the continuity....

Going to try to go see it tomorrow then.......the missus is in Paris for a meeting today....I'm on lates Thursday/Friday, then she's away at the w/end and I'm on Nights..... :blink: ...one day we'll get to watch Firefly.....

Hi Stuart no you don't need to have seen Firefly to understand Serenity because there is an introduction explaining about the war between The Alliance and the independaces at the begining of the film but fans of the series will get more out of it.

I've only seen it once I hope to see it at least one more time it's just getting a lift to the cinema that the problem, so far I haven't managed to get any of my friends to go and see it they think I'm a nerd :(

I want to see everyone day but I know that will never happen but I think I might see it at the Cinema's about 4 times. :thumbsup:

i have now taken to trying to sublimenaly co-erce people to go see the movie lol.

Am doing night shifts in w**k at the mo, se when we are on breaks, i asked my team if they have been to the cinema lately, and when they say 'nah' I say, well i went last friday to see this film serenity, and it was amazing.

So far i think they think i am nuts, not too sure if it worked lol

oh and in the canteen i haev been finding every magazine with a review of firefly and leaving the mags open at the review pages. Apparently NOW gave the movie a 5 star review and a big double page review, well done NOW, now only if the other mags would do that ;)

craig

:lol: I've been doing the same. One of my colleagues has just come back from holiday and every time I walk by her I say "Serenity" and then keep walking :lol:

And me, but the problem is that all my mates are smaller than me so they can't get in anyway. :lol:

stilts are always an option . . . or platform boots ;)

:lol: I still think they'll be too small...

Well, What can I say, finally got to see Serenity tonight and all I can say is Wow, what a ride......Took the missus along, though she was well dubious....she had been all up for it until she found out who was in it.....She really didnt like Nathans character in Buffy...still I finally persuaded her to go.....she loved it and actually suggested going to see it again.... :thumbsup:

And we've still got 14 episodes of Firefly to watch...... :yahoo:


Where do I pick up my brown coat? :)

Glad you both enjoyed it :thumbsup:
