Sony is quite famous for their "Not Invented Here" mentality. Hell, they even renamed Firewire as i.LINK!

And how's that new MicroMV format going? Heh!

That's actually pretty cool. I like the Willie Wonka voice-over.

Take the Firefly quiz. Who are you most like?

From what I remember, it's all one long (I don't think it was entirely continuous) camera shot full of character introductions, so that makes sense.

"someone on another board was saying that they would probably wait for the DVD sales figures to decide wether to invest in sequel/s."

To my knowledge, the TV DVDs have sold well (200,000+ units). I can't imagine that the theatrical version won't do well either.

Some reviews at www.browncoats.com

'm not going to say it's the best science fiction movie, ever.
Oh, wait. Yes I am." - Orson Scott Card

5/5 "The first masterpiece of 2005" - Stefan Halley Hero Realm

A+ "Can proudly be placed alongside “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Blade Runner” as one of the best science-fiction movies of modern cinema." - Edward Havens FilmJerk.com

"Scene for scene, 'Serenity' is more engaging and certainly better written and acted than any of Mr. Lucas's recent screen entertainments." - Manohla Dargis New York Times

4/4 "'Serenity' earns director Whedon spot on sci-fi's Mount Rushmore" - Peter Hartlaub San Francisco Chronicle

A- "It's equal parts deadly action, deadpan comedy and knotty mystery." - E! Online

4.5/5 "The film is teeming with an overwhelming amount of integrity, heart, soul, and some of the best written characters to invade genre fiction in quite some time." - Spence D. IGN FilmForce

3.5/4 "[Joss Whedon] makes the smart choice to create drama through character development rather than action." - Lawrence Toppman Charlotte Observer

3/4 "Serenity is made of dubious but energetic special effects, breathless velocity, much imagination, some sly verbal wit and a little political satire." - Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times

"Serenity" flies with sass and spirit, qualities that have been in palpably short supply in that "Star Wars" series since, well, "Star Wars." - Jan Stuart Newsday.com

I love that last one.

"I feel it is a re-make that in my that is better than the original."

Not that the original is bad - it's just from a different era, but yes, I also prefer Cronenberg's version.

I think a description is fine, depending. Try to keep it very simple and unobtrusive (I'm a "less is more" kinda guy, myself, which is why I like your covers to begin with - they are eye-catching without clutter.)

"films these days make more money on DVD and home entertainment sales than they do in cinema release."

I've known that for awhile. It's getting to the point where the theatrical release is merely an advertisment for the inevitable DVD release.

Just wanted to say: my wife and I both loved it. That movie kicked ASSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It certainly helped that it was a matinee, and there were like four other people in the theater.

I just found out my neighbor hasn't seen the show, so I'm taking my Firefly DVDs over for him to watch while his wife recovers from gall bladder surgery.

"But The SW DVDs and Serenity don't have anything against them!"

There's plenty against the SW DVDs, all documented. That's why I haven't bought or watched them.

The nice thing about my situation was: my Directv unit was going out anyways. When you get Tivo, it's $5 a month no matter how many Tivos you own - the service covers all of them. I also have to pay another $5 a month for the second Directv box, but since each box has two tuners, it's like having 4 boxes for the price of 2.

The only drawback is that my wife's friend has a DISH two-tuner PVR, and it can output two different shows to two different TVs at the same time. Mine won't. It's not horrible, since both Tivos and TVs are in the same room. We use the second one mainly for my daughter's shows (we have 3-4 episodes of each of her favorite shows saved. It beats having to look for them in real time, assuming they are on at that time.) I also have it recording 80's videos from MTV, and every few weeks I sit and watch those for nostalgia's sake.

"but to watch it OVER AND OVER AGAIN because you ENJOY it?! That's crazy."

Whoa there, cowboy. I said I *could*, not that I *did*. The point being, whenever I see it on TV, I always tune into it.

My wife and I actually watch less TV now, but all of our shows are recorded and waiting for us whenever we have a chance to watch them. Very handy when you've got two working parents and two chidlren.

I have two dual-tuner 35hr DirecTivos - they were $70 bucks each at Best Buy. I can record 4 shows simultaneously.
