Joss post on the movie site:

"The Uni brass just gave me word that certain theater managers who couldn't provide tickets were... how can I put this delicately... THREATENED. Seriously. Which is both touching and, hey, totally uncool."

More at the link.

Umm...I'm scared to look at that thread on the Serenity board. Can someone go and read it and then give me a summary of the funny, non-spoilery joss-isms that appear??

he basically just says he knows we fans are cranky that it sold out and that we all couldnt see it.... and that he will talk to the uppityups to see if something else like more screenings can be worked out but that he has no control and that the threater folks have even less control. theres no spoiler and not that much humor, joss must be feeling cranky.. so its safe to read doll

Thankies:):) And I was less worried about him giving spoilers than posters doing their normal *joss is a god* awe that would be thinking he is reading ever single little thing they say they loved about the trailer.

Which who knows, he might. Or he might have the one grip who pissed him off during the movie filming doing it for him.

umm yeah.. there were a couple posts that people made that I guess they think he is going to read/reply.. like some said something like "Can we stand outside" or something or another..
basically Joss was just telling us to be nice LOL

Me again!!!! (Sorry. I just get very excited about me.)

Well, it looks like you guys are still flyin' since we sold out all 10 venues in less than a day! Huzzah!

Well, yeah, Huzzah unless you couldn't get in. Then the world is a dark, existential moonscape of lonely suffering. I totally get that, but here's the thing:

The Uni brass just gave me word that certain theater managers who couldn't provide tickets were... how can I put this delicately... THREATENED. Seriously. Which is both touching and, hey, totally uncool. Yes, we need to show our excitement about the film to make the world stand up and listen, but we must use the peaceful, time-honored ways: writing letters and e-mails, working booths and throwing parties, and lining up for months in front of theaters that aren't showing the movie.

This screening is an unual event to say the least, but if it makes more people grouchy than happy, then lameness is involved. So you know I'll be talking to the brass about it. If we can get something else planned for later, suh-WEET but the movie belongs to them and I gotta respect their marketing plan. And we all gotta chill on the theater peeps who have even less say in this than anyone. I'll E more when more is knowable.

We're Browncoats, dammit, not Arsenal fans! (Well, some of us are both. But peaceful, non-rioty Arsenal fans.)

Peace to th' pepps, yo! -j. (Yes, I can too say 'yo'.)
