Shiny! #1 rated movie in theatres now & #9 rated movie of all time. Not bad for a cancelled tv show, eh?

The Box Office isn't too bad considering Start Trek I made about 12m its first weekend; in current dollars that's more than Serenity but the former had 10 years to build a fan base. If Serenity makes its production costs back in US alone it will probably double Worldwide, and DVD sales and rentals could double that.
Now, ST revived a geek show that went on to spawn sequels of dubious quality with wooden actors that gained a broad audience. Though FF is somewhat less chaste in its themes (and thus edging out a portion of ST's PG audience), by virtue of its cast, dialogue, and plot that outstrips anything ST or even Star Wars offered (despite his bankable appeal, Harrison Ford was and is a one-note actor). FF should be able to build into a solid franchise that any studio would want to be a part of. The Lord of the Rings phenomena proved that even esoteric, violent fantasy is bankable, as long as a singular passionate mind has control rather than a committee.

she's at 15 on the all-time list, with a little down arrow next to her name. Made me sad.
Did my part.

Taking several newbies this Saturday. One's pretty sensitive, so I'm hoping I don't get yelled at. Another talks a lot, so I'm hoping I don't have to yell. Quietly.

This is a gold stuff guys, the only thing is we all know that serenity and firefly is great. We need to start telling all these stories to a Someone who can get firefly back on the air. I think that if they see how good this show is and how the fanbase is growing even without advertising they just might decide to bring it back, and with luck actually advertise it.

I'm not so sure we haven't been... ;) this is the first, and IIRC, the only, fansite that comes up on the first page when you Google "Firefly". And I know that if I was part of Universal or other companies probably watching this like a hawk to see if it was viable enough to continue... I'd occasionally Google it.

Also, these are all available to anyone, these facts.

Although, writing (by hand works best as a convincer, seeing as it can't be faked as easily as email or typewritten) to SciFi Channel or Universal (which owns SciFi, and isn't bloody idiotic Fox).

I can't be the only one who thinks that if this show had started out on SciFi Channel, it would have been the next Stargate in terms of popularity, can I?

By the way, the Firefly box set is at this moment #3 on DeepDiscountDVD.com's Best Sellers list! Yay!. ;)

It should be noted that it's listed as "full frame", though, not widescreen... which is strange.

I heard there's a version of it (that comes only with English and French subs, no Spanish ones) that's anamorphic, and the version I bought is "widescreen, aspect ratio 1.78:1" (is that anamorphic or not? I can't remember). Jeez, how many versions of the set ARE there? This makes shopping around for copies to give as gifts this Christmas a tad harder.

I'm one of the people who had never seen Firefly (no cable). I'm sooo hooked. Seen the movie twice with my kids and we've run through all the epicsodes on the DVD set we bought many times now.

I'm thrilled to find so many people who loved it and want it back...

Oh my, Kaylee! ;)
