And the logo on 98% of My T-shirts. Of course I suddenly feel inspired to make several new designs. Unfortunately, this is one of those bits of news to fuel the fire of the scoffers. We the true browcoats will wait for our Big Damn Movie.

Nother posting from Joss this was at Buffy.nu:
You guys are sweetumses. If I was here to rouse you to action, I’d be wearing pants. I mean, using... rhetoric... (note to self: delete pants thing.) The fact is, I’m crushed, because I’m so anxious for you all to see what we’ve done. I want the world to know that Nathan Fillion is the next Harrison Ford (Well, he IS). I want them to see how amazing Summer Glau is... not to mention the whole cast and Jack Green, the greatest DP in DP-land, everybody just did such good work it almost makes me wish I’d written a coherent script! Or, I mean... um, hey, no pants! (Note to self...) So there you have it, or me, disappointed and impatient. But I really do believe in this studio. They supported this project since before I’d even thought up the SURPRISINGLY COHERENT script (nice save!) and they’ve been very up-front about their scheduling and marketing stratgies. so I stand with their decision, but, as Abe Simpson would say: "They’re in for the frowning of a lifetime!"
How’s that cube coming? Gleamy?

And this from JoBlo.com:

I think the most amount of hate mail I've ever gotten since I started writing for JoBlo.com some 4 years ago was when I questioned the SERENITY movie. Boy the fans came out of the woodworks on that one to rip me a new one. In my defense, I think my commens were overblown as I wasn't criticizing the quality of the show (I haven't even seen it), just curious about the business decision to base a big-budget sci-fi flick on a shortlived TV series. I have now learned through a series of e-mails from "Firefly" fans that there is a huge, devoted audience to the franchise and that, like STAR TREK, successful films can often come out of cancelled TV shows. I also learned that I'm a stupid piece of @!#$ with %$&* for brains. At least according to those e-mails. Anyway, bad news for that devoted bunch of "Firefly" fans. Writer/Director Joss Whedon has announced that the release of the film has been pushed back from April to September. Whedon explains it by saying, "April got crowded with a lot of titles aimed at a similar demographic, and the studio decided September was a clearer corridor for the film to make the kind of impact it should." Sounds like a similar decision Paramount made this summer with SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW and that seemed like a smart one. Unfortunately it just means a longer wait for the fans. To pass the time, I invite them to further fill my inbox with angry e-mails. But take it easy this time Whedonites - I got nothin but love for ya.
I particularly like the email bit. We are mighty.

Actually that posting comes from the same thread at Whedonesque where Joss broke the bad news *sighs*.

Don't think of it as having to make new shirts, rather think of it as how the originals are now a conversation piece since they have the original release date on them.

Well.. heres to hoping a bomb like Gigli is showing at the same time , so that those avid weekend moviegoers are driven to see the BDM. I can see it now..Throngs of new Browncoats streaming from the theatres only to get in line to see it again immediately afterwords hehehehe.
I expect the series DVD sales to go up dramatically after the BDM release!
5 more months ain't so bad. It's better then hearing the words.."It's not being released at all".

On reading this I mailed Monica muns of UIP International and she says there is talk of delying the movie but it's not certain yet. I ahet to get everybody's hiopes up just to get them dashed again and personally I think Joss is the person who should know but when I get word from Monica I'll post.

Oh my very dear, no one is dissin' the Hoosier Browncoats, I have just been living in Tampa since 1986 and these are the fans I celebrate Firefly Friday's with!
I am moving back home, to Indianapolis, possibly to attend InconJunction for the first time in, lets see, around 18 years ...
My how time flys.
Whereabouts are you?
No problem - I completely understand. I was uprooted from Washington (state) about 12 years ago and haven't been able to get out of the Midwest since. (And why, exactly, do they call it the Midwest?!?
)I'm in Indianapolis, of course - isn't everyone?
My wife and I just bought a (99-year-old) house in the Irvington area, actually. I honestly don't know many Browncoats, here. Most of my friends are, but that's about all I've come across.
What's InconJunction, if you don't mind me asking?

Ahhhhh Crap!!!
Maybe it is a good move not to go up against Episode 3 and whatever else is coming in that
time frame, but it certianly does'nt make me
feel any better.
It's to depressing to think about.
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the back of the
room wallowing in self pity 
whimpering in a pathetic like manner.
Am I a Lion?... No, I think I'ma tellin' the truth.
