So I'm not going to talk about the movie at all. You can't see it for four months; why should I even plague you with an opinion on quality? I think you should see it, where "you" means "yes, you, reading this right now." Further I will not say.

I will talk about the experience of the preview a little. Sean Maher (Simon) and Morena Baccarin (Inara) showed up at the theater to thank us for coming and sign autographs. Joss Whedon had a trailer before the movie in which he talked about how we needed to go out and be brownshirts and push the movie. The interesting thing for me was that he speaks with a fannish accent -- you may know the one. Not the gamer fannish accent, which is fairly light, but the SF fan accent. He talks the way people who go to a lot of SF cons talk, with those careful pauses and deliberate telegraphing of wryness.

Pretty good atmosphere for seeing a movie.

What movie are you talking about? If you're going to 'push' something you might get around to saying what you're pushing.

Doh. Serenity. I meant to link; didn't get around to putting it in.

You have no idea how jealous I am. Hating you.

Okay, I'm done. Bygones.

Now I suspect why the list of cities was as limited as it was; I bet you're going to hear about a lot of cast/crew sightings.

I've heard that Joss verbal habit you're talking about on some of the commentaries he did for BtVS and FF.

Mark Hamill has it too; have you seen Comic Book: the Movie?

I have not yet. Keep meaning to.

Mark Hamill is so of our tribe it's not even funny.

Whic isn't to say the movie isn't funny, or Mark isn't funny in it.

That was just a figure of speech.

Id est: Mark Hamill = Big ol' geek.

Brownshirts... er, browncoats.

I always wonder about that.

I saw it. You got actors? We got guys from Universal. They handed out swag but we didn't get autographs. :(

I totally agree with your assessment, except instead of "should" I'd say "must".

You forgot to mention that really cool cameo Ashton Kutcher makes. Best scene in the film.

As I've posted in other lj's, my jealousy burns with the white-hot fire of a thousand flame wars.
