No Blue Sun?! Oh my goodness! What will we do without the coffee cans, tee-shirts, and soda pop commercials? This movie is so gonna suck!

Harken: "Seems odd that you would name your ship after a battle you were on the wrong side of."
Mal: "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

Is that sarcasm I'm sensing? Mmmmmm, could be. But, as I pointed out, it's not JUST the absense of BlueSun in the plot ( which was somw what significant ) but also what is becoming a laundry list of omissions and now the BDD ( Big Damn Delay ).

The fact that I bought a couple of BlueSun T-Shirts won't take away anything from my persective and in fact it might make those items even MORE unique. I'm just getting the creepifying feeling that OUR beloved Firefly is being homogonized and retrofitted to meet Corp studio specifications so much that we might not recognize it.

Yea, hope still remains. But I'm beginning to feel more and more like Mal at the battle of Serenity.

I know what you mean; I only came upon Firefly after its cancellation, so the anti-corporate arc that may have pivoted about Blue Sun was an important conjecture for me too. Still, we had the dream for two years and if Whedon wants to take it somewhere else, it's his creation. If all that remains of Firefly is the branding, perhaps that's a statement in itself

I might be wrong but I thought it wasnt that they was no blue sun in the film just that it would only be visable in the background as it was for most of the series. Hopefully we'll get to see more of it in the sequels.

Were there a god, I might make a little prayer that you are right. However, seeing a post that says there is NO BlueSun sorta confuses the issue. While we did SEE BlueSun often enough, no one ever actually MENTIONED BlueSun in the series. So, does that mean there is no discussion of BlueSun in the script ? ... and does that leave the door open for the plot to be layed out much like it was in the series ?

See, there I go again..making wild, unsubstantiated reaches about something of a lesser detail when the BIG thing is that we have to wait almost a whole year now. Damnit.

AURaptor, PurpleBelly and other fidgeters:

There's this guy who works with me. Every day he comes in at 9 AM and within 15 minutes is checking his watch. All day. By the time he's been at work for two hours, he's saying things like, "God, is it 3 o'clock yet?!"

I usually ask, "Why? Have you got an arson to get to?" You're in a hurry for it to get here, so you can spend 2 - 3 hours in the theatre, and then wait another two years for the next one?

These are the glory days, so enjoy them for the (extended) time they are here. As another Browncoat so aptly pointed out, if it does well, this site and all its brethren will be inundated for at least 3 months with n00bs from hell (whom we will all tolerate as patiently as possible, as we were once tolerated). If it does poorly, this site and its ilk will be like ghost towns virtually overnight, with only zoid still hanging around 'til the end of the next Ice Age (see also, 'One of an Infinite Number of Actual Futures').

Negativity is useful. You know I appreciate the alternative viewpoint. I actually prefer it to pollyannaism; but my own viewpoint falls somewhere in between those black-and-white extremes. In any case, we do all have to wait for the movie. In my experience, the best way to wait for something is to pay attention to something other than the passage of time, and to refrain from 'tai kwan dodo' prophesies of gloom and doom...

Realistically,

zoid

I just dug out my video of the San Diego Comic Con and here is a direct quote from Joss: "Blue Sun appears, but the Blue Sun corporation as a concept is not a major theme of the movie".

So, much the same as the series.

ziod: Your countenance has been nothing short of phenominal. I'll admitt my utter selfishness of hearing the news and thinking not but the worst of all of this. To be honest, I've gone from skeptic to cynic per the BDM. Sitting in w/ Jewel on that Sun nite at DragonCon would have made me believe in almost anything. Ok, so Matty was there.... so I don't believe in 'anything'..

We were all ready for April. 'Nuff said. Now I'm hearing comments about this or that.....and I'm not sure I know what the hell to think anymore.
( yes I do) Trust Joss. Jewel said those exact words @ DC. TRUST JOSS.

(DEEP BREATH )

ok. I'm done w/ the shock. I'm fine now. All is well. (sigh)

Trust JOSS

OK. Count me in.
