Serenity Within. A reporter from the Toronto Star came to the preview screening and to the Shindig before hand.
This is his report on the fans and the screening event in general (reg. req'd).

The Star is one of the bigger newspapers in Canada and this artice is on the first page of their A & E section!

Too bad the author miss quotes Joss' quote of the pilot.

"They tried to kill us, but they couldn't because we are mighty."
Those misquotes suck the air right out of his words. Makes the extrordinary ordinary. Oh well.
Yeah, this is way off topic but I saw the Serenity trailor before "Land of the Dead (and boring)" last night. It made blowing 20 bucks on a crappy movie worth it.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned that.
Still, it is a positive article on the front page of the section, going over to a second page. Can't argue that kind of publicity.
It was a pretty good story though. Got all the main points. And it was on the entertainment section front of the (note, Lioness) biggest newspaper in the country. Too bad it couldn't have run in one of the weekend papers. Anyway, it's great publicity!

Lioness, great work on getting the flans together. I couldn't make it because of work and being out of touch, too . . . (see below)

(O/T: it's so nice to be BACK online after 12 miserable days offline, thanks to my DSL service provider's utter incompetence. Grrr. Arrgh. I've switched to cable. Came today and installed it -- no fuss, no muss.)
Thanks Drifter. I'm feeling rather chuffed because I'm the one who got in touch with a reporter at the Star in the first place.
The reporter loved Firefly so was very pleased to be able to come.
Wonderful post, Lioness. Yeah, got the feeling the writer was a Firefly fan from his comments. This is the kind of publicity we need to ensure 'Serenity' will be a success. Great job :)
Lioness, great work making this Toronto Star article happen! Wow. I'm sure Joss would be so proud. Fflans really are the best. As for the Toronto Star itself, this is dynamite coverage. Major, major coup. Huge newspaper.
Wow, we must start buying DVDs to send to newspapers all around the world, because then we could conquer the world.
Big round of applause to the strong and active lioness!

Also big thank you to all the various nice people on Whedonesque who previously mentioned info on ‘bugmenot’, so I can now actually be bothered to log in and read all these articles.
