the studio decided September was a clearer corridor for the film to make the kind of impact it should. This isn't about a lack of confidence in the film -- in fact, they told me this before they even saw it. And now they have seen it, and unless they're way better liars than I'm used to, they dug it. Actually, they dug it pretty large,

The release date is September 30th. Hopefully it won't change again.
If they dug it pretty large, why don't they want to release it in summer? Isn't that supposed to be the prefered season for big damn movies with no pretensions toward prime-time oscars? And isn't this the official BDM? September is for niche films, not blockbusters. We're gonna see this film no matter when, or where, it's released. Universal needs more than just Firefly fans to justify $50Million to produce the BDM.
Now, they're planning to release it a month before the DVD release of the next Star Wars movie. In the month of September, I wouldn't be surprised if there is more advertising $money spent on the SWDVD than on the BDMTR.
Don't wanna throw down in April? Awright, it's their money, advertising too. But give us this summer.
And a Christmas 2005 DVD.

GRRRRRRRRR!!!
No way! No, that's just tooo long! We can't wait that long, oh why!
Ah well, I guess that absence does make the heart grow fonder. I mean, who else isn't planning to go see this movie at least 3 times when it comes out!?!
I've seen the first 13 episodes of Firefly now and am saving the Season Finale, "Objects In Space", for tonight when I get home! I'm soooo excited, I've been told it's one of Joss' best works, and that there's a lot of River in there, my FAV character!!!
I can't wait!!! Ahh! I'll post my thoughts on it, and the Season as a whole later on.
Then I can watch all the special features I've been fighting to resist, and all the commentaries, and then I'm gonna re-watch the whole season again, then I'm lending it to my friend, so will have to struggle alone for at least a week. At least I'll have Buffy & Angel to keep me occupied.
But I'm so annoyed about the delayed movie! 
Also, here's hoping that the movie will make TV bosses beg for A Firefly Season 2!!!

Well, okay, putting aside all the shiny good sides of what you guys have been coming up with... I think I'm going to go back to bed and hope that when I wake up again, this will never have happened. The Serenity convention in April was geared around the Serenity release! Now what are they gonna do?!

Quite honestly though, is anyone truly surprised? I know I'm not...

Well darn it!
On the one hand, it means that I see "Serenity" with the Indiana Browncoats instead of the Florida Browncoats, which is a disappointment.
On the other hand, it means I get the movie for my 50th Birthday present and that is shiny as hell.
Plus I get more time to actually get a decent Browncoat outfit set up.

They may have to move around films but i bet that this is the change that is going to disappoint the largest number of people.
I don't see why we should spare our pity for Joss - he's already seen the movie!
Seriously though it must suck for Joss but it'll be good if it means it gets a bigger audience.

Man! April 22nd is going to be my wedding date in 2006 ( and no, I didn't choose it because of Serenity - it's my parents' anniversary) Oh Well.
