"Serenity" now

[Ao the Overkitty]

Ha! Got tickets to the third running. And in my home town, no less.

Bahhhhhhh they are showing it here in Tampa and of course I don't have a ticket. When does that list get updated or do I have to check every day?

Tampa is sold out for this run. On the official fan website, Joss usually posts a message the night before tickets go on sale. The Can'tstopthesignal.com website usually gets updated later, and by the time it is updated, many of the shows are already sold out.


The strategy used by many is to go to whichever movie website handles tickets at the theater in your city (movietickets.com in Tampa). Jump forward to each Thursday night and look for a "special screening" at the theater (it is always in the same theater) or the like listed for 10pm that night. That'll be Serenity. Next screening will likely be either July 7th or July 21st if they remain consistent (the 21st is more likely, IMO). Then, keep trying to buy tickets at the site until you hear the show is sold out. It helps to be a night owl, since they seem to start selling after midnight on whichever day they open up the tickets for sale. By 8am, many cities are already sold out. Good luck. I envy you. I know I can't make any Thursday night showing so I'm stuck waiting until September.

yeah. hanging out on the messageboards doesn't hurt.

Having someone tell you your hometown is actually on the list at 12:20 last night helps.

Being able to have someone who is up all night and someone who is up all day helps immensely.

Our theatre looks like it is one of the 'test' sites this time. One of those nonhuge cities (even if we are the state capital).

Our theatre wasn't ready for this kinda thing. They don't have tickets available online (only by phone) and that wasn't actually set up properly. The box office actually had to tell people they physically had to come down to the theatre to purchase the tickets.

By the time the switched over to movietickets from fandango and got online ticket ordering set up, most of the tickets were sold.

Got tickets for here in Phoenix this time. Though the tickets were supposed to go up at midnight, it wasn't until more like noon the next day that they finally appeared.

 

[Kid Charlemagne]

Another round of screenings tonight...

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Yup. Had a tough time sleeping today. Actually woke up at quarter to noon and had to force myself back to sleep. I need at least 6 hours, damn it!

6 1/2 hours to go. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Loved it, like so many others. Joss Whedon is a god.

A movie everyone should see. Our friend, James, who didn't care for Firefly, loved the movie and was hooked. Our friends who like Firefly loved the movie and were even more hooked.

Excellent film. And we had a very entertaining Nathan Fillion here in Phoenix to open it, answer some questions, and sign autographs. Amazingly entertaining, all of it.

I look forward to seeing it in September with the real score.
