annathepiperSo, doing our duty as Big Damn Firefly Fans even if we never really have officially named ourselves Browncoats, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mamishka and I went downtown Friday night to attend the 9:20 showing at the Meridian 16 theater. We actually got there quite early, early enough to see the group organized by ivolucien (which we did) in the line and to let Meems try to sell some more of her episode guides (which she did). I said hi to pauldf and exchanged hugs, too (HI PAUL!). Unfortunately we missed casirafics, though. Sniff.
The one problem was that the theater guys asked everybody to bunch up together into this sort of mass of humanity rather than a proper line--apparently because the line was getting too long, or something. And everybody bunched up rather closer together than both Meems and I were comfy with, since it made it difficult for her to really go up and down the line and hand out her little flyers for her book and I didn't know anybody in the line besides Ivo and Paul anyway. So just before they let them all into the theater we bailed and went down to hang out in Barnes and Noble until it was time to come back for our own showing.
I exercised great restraint and did not actually buy any books, since I am waiving my one-book-a-week budget to accommodate seeing this movie, not to mention getting me some Great Big Sea shiny new CD goodness in a few more weeks.
Around 8pm or so we came back to get in our own line. Meems did more schmoozing, and we did more hanging out and chatting, about Remington Steele and Moonlighting and why Lament of the Dove is kicking my ass, and we had ourselves a nice relax-o wait till they let us in. We got good seats, and I went to go get snackage while Meems held them.
The theater was full of a satisfyingly large opening night crowd, and we'd heard that despite that showing only being added that evening, it was in fact sold out. Go Seattle Browncoats!
And then, well, movie. This was my third viewing, thanks to previews, but lo, I did not care. For I am loving this movie with much love. It's got its flaws, to be sure. But for me they don't get in the way of a rocking good story.
Now I know I posted about the movie already over the summer after the preview I attended in Vancouver, but I'm going to do it again anyway. I will, however, invoke the Serenity filter I made before so as to protect those of you who haven't seen the movie yet and who intend to. I know at least one of you Browncoats on my Friends list (hiframlingem!) won't be able to see it for a bit due to no theater local to you carrying the movie.
If you're not on my Serenity filter, and you want to be, sing out now and I'll add you!
