I got my confirmation email for the Serenity screening I mentioned previously, and here is what it said:
Congratulations! You are one of the lucky bloggers to be chosen and confirmed for the screening of SERENITY for the time, date and the number of guests that you have requested. Please note, this confirmation DOES NOT guarantee you a seat at the screening.
To significantly increase your chances of getting into the screening, you MUST do the following:
* You MUST include the film’s synopsis on your blog (synopsis below) and you MUST link your blog to the SERENITY website (which has the trailer and production notes) http://www.serenitymovie.com and featured artwork. After you have screened the film, please discuss it on your blog. Please provide us the links to all of your blog posts on SERENITY at [DELETED]
* Print out and bring a copy of this confirmation.
* Arrive at the theater AT LEAST 45 minutes before the show begins.
I realize they want the screening to be packed, but my life doesn’t revolve around this movie – I don’t have 45 extra minutes to arrive there early with no guarantee I will get in. Yes, it would be cool to attend the screening and blog about it, but no, I don’t want to get there 45 minutes early and NOT get a seat. So, I will pass on the screening. If they could guarantee I could get in, I would do it.
