From the Browncoats:
Hey Browncoats,
We have just a few more days to go! Serenity will be
in theaters this Friday, September 30! Today, Joss
posted this message for all Browncoats on the message
boards:
Well boys and girls and boys dressed as girls and
girls dressed as Kaylee, the time is almost upon us.
This Friday we take that old rust-bucket out of the
shipyard and see if she can breach atmo. It's been a
long (to paraphrase a band I like) strange trip, and
it'll be nice finally to show everybody what it is
we've been tinkering with all this time. You already
know you have my thanks, from the hardcore fans to the
softcore... fans.... let me try that again. From the
people manning the booths, buying DVD sets for their
friends, getting banners seen everywhere on Australian
TV, raffling artwork for ticketholders (Adam Hughes,
take a bow), to the most casual fan who just wants to
see the flick and won't ever even read this. You guys
are the fuel in the engine, the Fire in the Fly, the
weird green stuff coming out of Serenity's butt.
(Hmmm. Forget that last one. I'm a little bit out of
control here.)
Everyone needs something to keep them going. Mal has
his ship. Zoe has her integrity. Jayne has Vera. And
I've got you guys.
So what now? There have been so many posts about
seeing it, seeing it again, the first weekend, the
second weekend, being enthusiastic without being
obnoxious (and yes, it IS hard to see over the pom-pom
of a Jayne hat), buying tickets in advance, making a
noise... I honestly wouldn't know what to add. I can
tell you this: the movie will play in about 2200
hundred theaters, which is a good number. Too many,
and you get empty theaters with no energy -- not
enough, and you get, well, not enough. It may be hard
to find in some areas but it'll be out there. Leave no
multiplex unturned! This is going to be a ground war,
peeps -- we have to hold the valley for a long while.
However it opens, it needs to HOLD. Instead of the
Alliance we'll be fighting viewer apathy, fear of
something new, the urge to wait for DVD, and Jessica
Alba in a bikini. (Although I have it on good
authority that she spends 90% of the film in a huge
wooly parka. Make sure that gets out.)
The day this puppy opens, I'll be seeing it with my
family (don't worry, there's a lot of them, and
they're all paying) and then I'm off to Europe to
learn the word 'Browncoats' in nine different
languages -- 'cause like I said, it's all about
holding. I'll never be far from a computer, though, so
I can check in with y'all. Thanks for every damn
thing.
And remember, amidst all the urgency to make this an
event, all the work and the worry, to take two hours
and just enjoy yourself. That is, after all, what all
this fighting's about.
