Thankyou i thought id be ranting to a 3 man audience...
first off-ez stuff, i love the cover art, anything with summer on the front in a pout like that...well, it goes with the last line of my signature
Second, i agree completely with the fact that Joss owns this whole BDV (Big Damn 'Verse) and we're just along for the ride...do you like to shout at the pilot flying your plane?...
third-altho there are plenty of threads out there that piss me off, the paramount of these is, IMO 'Joss made my 11 year old daughter cry'-WTF-W.T.F!!?!?; what was the point of it?...are we gonna go on a righteous crusade of death BECAUSE a movie made you daughter cry?...your trying to tell me shes never cried when she saw bambi or free willy or some other tear jerker-you found it pointless did you?...would you prefer that suddenly a rabid horde of evil marshmallows went and tore into the reavers after which converting them into friendly jehovahs witness (no offense to them)...i mean WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT, its a ship full of raping, pillaging, human flesh feasting, skin sewing hill billy lookalikes!...i bet you wanted them to stop what they were doing immediately and write a strongly worded letter to wash instead of harpooning him...
and fourth-once again i appologise for the rabid rantathon ive set myself and all you other browncoat loving bunnies on, but i just felt it had to be said, it was really late and i was really tired and stressed out so i looked around the forum for something to take my mind off it-what pops up first? 'Joss made my 11 yr old daughter cry'...im gonna stop here lest i start chanting for that posters blood
-if you'll excuse me i must go sharpen mister pointy the pitchfork now

not just complaining...there is an online petition:
http://new.petitiononline.com/SerenDVD/petition.html
at first I thought it was a joke!
Casual: you are too kind...I was afraid I had been harsh...
I don't mean to be harsh on those who loved Wash,
I loved him too...
but I love Joss' vision more, and I have faith in his taking the 'verse where it needs to go
(because Joss Whedon is the one who is REALLY piloting this ship)
Empty: I enjoy your rants...
rant away -
you aren't wrong.

I have to agree that there is an overabundance of people being critical about the movie. But hey, it's their right not to like it, and just because they didn't click to SERENITY doesn't mean they're not still fans.
Dissent can be a good thing. If we just happily took everything handed to us, we'd quickly become sheep.
Besides, you don't actually need to read those threads. They're pretty clear from the title what they're about. Which is why I havn't read the "Made my daughter cry" thread.
As for the DVD cover, yeah, I don't like it much myself. It's just a design thing. But I don't feel it's whining just to say I don't care for it. And I havn't really seen complains about the cover popping up all over - just the main thread about the cover.
That is, untill this thread was started.
Of course I'm buying the BD-DVD regardless of the cover. What can I say?
Baaaah.

Okay, my bad. I missed that there was the DVD cover petition thread. So there are a couple threads about displeasure over the cover. I just hadn't noticed it. But I still didn't open it.
It's probably a pointless endeavor, though, since chances are, they'll be going to print on the box art very, very soon if they havn't already. When I worked in retail video, we often got new releases shipped to us 2-3 weeks before the street date, which potentially puts the disk in someone's back room within the next 3-4 weeks (apparently there were some outlets selling the Revenge of the Sith DVD's over a week ago, and the street date was only 2 days ago). Factor in the time it takes to print, assemble and ship them, they're probably going to be rolling through the presses any time now.

In my middle age years I try not to waste time "tilting at windmills" anymore. I think there are a lot of people out there that just like shouting at the wind as if they think it will hear them and stop blowing. They may as well try to piss into the wind to see if that will get them anywhere for all their angst and anger. So one of your favorite characters gets bumped off? Get a grip. People die in real life so why not in a work of fiction. It only makes it more believable. After over 40 years of reading and watching science fiction I'm kinda glad to see a major character in a movie or series die rather than just the new yeoman in the red shirt with no last name on the away team.

I totally agree. Well, I've only been at it for 30 years...and I don't recall reading much sci-fi for the first several...but otherwise, totally with you.

Right on. If a story builds up some characters as heroic, brave and selfless, yet there are no sacrifices (as in, someone important paying the ultimate price), then the whole thing is a sham, a gyp. Ditto for people in supposedly dangerous situations: how long are people supposed to buy into things really being that desperate when there's no real price to pay? They should have left Spock dead, for crying out loud, and bravo to Joss for having the intestinal fortitude to recognize that when he wasn't even sure he might need those characters again.
Here's to storytellers with honesty and guts.
