Every time I go in to my local video rental store, all copies have been rented. That's a good sign.
Of course, there are only about 5 in the entire store. That's half of what Diary of a Mad Black Woman gets, and about 10% of The Dukes of Hazzard.
Full Version: Firefly
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
There's also a long wait on Netflix for it. (As opposed to a "very long wait" for Black Christmas, which they just got in stock - pffft!)
I'm amazing myself, this kind of restraint.

Well two more people at work have now been converted to the ways of FF.
So glad you converted S and S. But then i'm sure you explained my personal fascination with the Cobb-man to them too. Wonder what they make of it all. "Sefi's kerrrrazeeee!" mostly likely.
And i too will join in the fist-biting for the Aussie DVD. It's utter torture.

So I'm listening to Wil Wheaton's podcast (episode zero), and he's telling quite a lovely story about running into Sean Maher at an audition. After first geeking out and slinking back to his chair to run lines, the Doc inquires about Wil's stepkids (who he had just revealed he introduced to Firefly), so he goes into how introducing the boys to sci-fi was a big bonding point for them and Firefly was the starting point, that for whatever reason it hit all the right notes and it brought them into a genre that they'd previously had no interest in, etc...
It's just awfully cute.

And it spares him all those awkward "Daddy, why were you such a dweeb?" conversations they'd be having if he'd started them on TNG. For now, at least.
See, but he'd probably have a very eloquent answer to that question, or at least an eloquent way of explaining "I don't know." Read the book; he's quite at peace with Wesley, after many years of angggst.

Excellent!
And that UK DVD cover is the best Serenity DVD cover I've seen thus far! (and one day it will be mine . . . )
Cut/Paste: "Serenity DVD - main screen. Highlight "play," then click the left arrow on your remote. That will highlight a little trapezium with a circle inside. Click play or enter. You'll get to see a brief "making of" about the oaty bar commercial.

Sorry. I've just set it as my ringtone. Guaranteed to confuse about 90% of people though.
I watched it last night. Wash's death still hurts like a bastard.
Watching some of the extras bought a tear to my eye, especially the one at the Comic-con. Unless DVD sales really go mental it really does look like this is the end of Firefly.

Hopefully strong DVD sales should push Serenity into profit and secure at least one sequel.
Hey browncoats
I'm going to a fancy dress party (theme is Cult TV) and i want o go as pilot episode Kaylee (as on this site):
http://www.costumersguide.com/maggie_costu...e_makingof.html
if anyone knows of any costume tips and ideas (like where to buy a white parasol), i'd appreciate it as i haven't done anything yet.
If i can't go as Kaylee, i'm going as autopsy performing Scully.

Costume making is fun although i'm less bothered about pedantic accuracy as some are. I maybe even thinking of going as a Twin Peaks character instead. WHo knows what tomorrow will bring.

You could go as Nadine in her pink prom dress (when she overdosed)....great costume and no one ever does Nadine, it's all Audrey and the Log Lady.
Look for the parasol at an Asian imports store, if there are any near you; I'd imagine between that and an army surplus store you'd find anything you'd ever need for a Firefly costume. (Wise decision re: avoiding being pedantic....it's a costume, you're going to wear it once, maybe twice. Maybe I'm just lazy but I never bother with scrutinizing detail.)

I was thinking of Laura but Nadine is good too. The eye patch especially. Make me feel like Elle Driver.

I have green combats and a blue sun t-shirt (*coughswhatageekcoughs*) so if anything i could get a blue Chinese jacket, parasol, flip flops and put my hair in buns. Then smear some oil on my face and we are ready to go. I actually own a red dressing gown just like Inara's and several glamourous dressy things. So I could easily do her (fnar) if i was a taller Brazilian goddess with mocha skin and impeccable make-up. But alas and i'm short and blonde and more 'homely'. Kaylee it is - adds to my Firefly mood.
Our Astrid is gonna be Tess from Catterick BTW - we should make quite a pair.

Finished Firefly just now, after wanting to see it since November (from seeing Serenity, a film I'd not heard of, knew nothing about it, and just went to the cinema on a whim. So glad I did!)
Great, great show. I'll be exposing as many people as I can to it, asap.

My love is for Astrid who agreed to see Serenity with me and now i'm Whedon's whore. Thank you, honey!
And i am liking Nate in that pic. He seems like such a joker - bless him and his apples.
Costume update - i have ordered a parasol and have found a wondrous Kaylee jacket so looks like all is well.

Big Damned Movie.

Wash and Jayne are easily the most realistic there.
I like how the 'River' girl is pouting, to try and get the Summer Glau look.
Why are there two kaylees?
I take that sarcastic comment back actually, the Jayne guy's gone all out with that hat.
Is their 'Zoe' a man?

Astrid and i will try with our limited technical expertise to do some picture-whoring.
The BDM photo is downright disturbing. My costume will be far superior than those bargain-basement Kaylees. At least i am same sex/built as Kaylee even though i'm blonde. The Wash and Jayne look kinda hideous - i wouldn't want to share a prison cell with either.

Now I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but:
QUOTE
Loni Peristere, visual-effects supervisor for the SF movie Serenity, told SCI FI Wire that there's hope for future flights of the cast and crew of the movie, which just came out on DVD. Director Joss Whedon—who also created the canceled Fox TV show Firefly, on which the movie is based—expected that the movie might draw the low numbers it did in its theatrical release, Peristere said in an interview. But he added that the movie's sales on DVD, which came out on Dec. 20, are running neck-and-neck with the hit comedy Wedding Crashers, which bodes well for a possible Serenity sequel...
Whedon and his crew are waiting to see how well the DVD numbers go before proceeding with a Serenity sequel, Peristere said. "We really hope to return to this work," he said. "We love the characters. It's fun storytelling, and we all love using our talents. ... It all depends on Joss. He's not giving up on the characters. He had incredible writers who had a million stories to tell, and we're all just hanging out and seeing what the world has to give us, and given the opportunity we'll make more."

Well, if video sales were able to secure, what, five sequels to Police Academy (I'll attribute the first sequel to the box-office performance of the initial film), then why not Serenity? Heck, Police Academy is even getting the remake trea... Wait a minute, this one has most of the original cast (including Guttenberg)..!
It certainly sounded like he was giving up last time I heard Whedon talk about it. I forget where though.

I'm not certain their Jayne is a fella either. Which is calling the sexes of the entire group into question.
Saw this posted somewhere else, it's apparently some sort of viral marketing campaign for the movie. Don't recall them being posted here, and I don't think they're included on the R1 DVD either, unless they're on there as an easter egg.
