Serenity Screening

Okay, since no plan actually gelled from my first post, I'm going to summarize the cogent bits ( here )
...if you're so inclined, and you're registered at the Universal Serenity Board, feel free to join my crew. It's the Banner Brigade, http://browncoats.serenitymovie.com/serenity/index.html?fuseaction=groups.detail&id=56
...and this one has a picture of *me,* and also, my name...
There are minor spoilers in that second to last paragraph, that starts with "All this is not to say that I think the movie is perfect or I'm blinded to possible problems. " Stop reading there, if you want to be completely spoiler free.
So, it’s Monday, and also it’s Independence Day. Typically, this weekend is among the busiest at the box office. This afternoon, my sister and I joined the throng. We saw Batman Begins.
( Batman Begins )
I can't stop thinking about this movie. This movie is unbelievably good. I understand that the print last night was a more recent print than kung_fu_monkey ,
saintpookie and
drtectonic saw, so it's much improved, quality-wise. I'm going to agree with Beemer that Joss is, well, I can't bring myself to type it, but, I'm, thinking it. In a good way. Mostly.
I cried more than once. I laughed a good deal, too. I will not spoil the movie, as that would be a terrible crime, since that's the kind of movie it is. ( Some further thoughts: )
Also, the banner thing went off smashingly. We ended up with 34 of the 35 cities participating in some form or another, but most had banners like in the picture, linked in the next sentence. This is a large picture, but, when I saw it, it made my month, and was beyond awesome. Joss was blown away, and quite touched by the whole thing apparently, and I am so glad I sucked up my initial "didn't get tickets" disappointment to set out the idea anyway. Besides, there is no way this would've worked without all the people who jumped aboard, and made it go. To be redundant and almost cliche, "we did the impossible, and that makes us mighty." I still have the Denver banner, which will be mailed later, since our Universal reps weren't up to the task. I'd be happy to let anyone peep at it, and sign it. Fact, I think I'm going to sign it a second time. Can't Stop the Signal, Indeed.
Just 'cause it's not even showing up on the Apple trailer page yet...

I've not opened it yet, since I'm not sure if I want to be spoiled yet.
