Oh I am so excited!

Well.

It gets better.

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.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.


Well, no Richmond. Can't say as I'm surprised. *sighs*

Hmmm.....10 hr car trip to Atlanta to see the movie on May 7th? Tempting.....

they only went on sale late last night,
and they aren't being publicized yet,
so they should not be sold out...
they are full sized theaters...

Personally I'm driving the 4 1/2 hours to Chicago
(luckily I can stay at my brother's house)
but no way am I missing out on this opportunity to see the BDM almost 4 months early!

I'm in Portland and was lucky to get my tickets this morning, but may I say that I'm really surprised by the number of west coast cities they have chosen to show it, based on the amount of east and southeastern fans out there.

But then perhaps that is the reason...perhaps they want to test the waters in more sparse regions.

for you, my reputation is fact.

Also, just got a link from boards at IMDB for

www.cantstopthesignal.com

They list the specific theaters and addresses with links to getting more info/tickets. (Many links are to www.fandango.com which I mentioned in earlier post.)

Good luck to all that can make it. I'm in school finals situation or I'd be booking airline tkts along with the movie tkts.

I keep getting an error message (Unable to process ticket request) when I try to buy tickets to the Atlanta show. Other theatres have an explicit message stating the show is sold out. Anyone know the deal, and if tickets are still in available in Atlanta?

Thanks!

I finally got through without getting an error, after 3+ hours of trying and now it says the Atlanta showing is sold out. Woe is me.

Goddammit.. I tried from 9-10:15 this morning and couldn't get anywhere, and when I came back from class the Boston one was sold out. Now I'm sad. It's also really annoying that Boston is the only NE city. Why not NY?? Of course, I would be totally willing to take a trip to Boston, but it seems like there's a lot of population up here and lots of us who would love to get the sneak peek in the NY area. grr. Oh well, I guess I'll have to cry and wait til September.

I think I need to have my head examined. I just checked the cost of trips to all the cities that haven't sold out... *sigh* too much for a poor college student. If anyone has an extra boston ticket...

Good News: I live in the Portland of Oregon.
Great News: I live just a few blocks from the theater showing the "Serenity" sneak peek.
Bad News: When I went to the website to buy tickets, it was sold out.
Oh well, off to kill myself now.
Cheery bye!

They were sold out by the time I knew they were on sale...

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread; All tickets in all 10 cities have been sold out. That in just under 24 hours since being announced. Also, movie managers have been telling people who have been calling that they are trying to get Universal to show the film in other theatres that have more seating.

Also, this might be bad news for me but good news to Serenity that all the tickets have been sold because I don't think Universal expected this to happen since they created a whole campaign to sell the tickets which included a website and a posters. Lets hope they decide to add more theatres and even cities to that list.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

darn it all. I was actually thinking of saying "heck with it" and taking a sick day and driving to see the one in San Fran or Vegas but now they're all sold out! Man the browncoats have spoken!

Here's hoping they'll add more cities!
