Would you invest in a Fire fly movie?

Hell yeah, I'd invest!
I'd even be willing to donate -- public broadcasting style (presuming I can afford it at the time). But I'd much rather be investing in/donating to a new TV venture than to a single film.
Though I'm excited about a Firefly film written and directed by Joss... I have to admit it will take me some time to adjust to that idea. From fall to Dec of 2002, we were treated to 12 episodes of a fantastic show that we could easily tape and watch over and over again immediately.
As has been stated, a single two hour film will take many months (if not a couple years) to create and finally get released. Once it is out, I will have to visit the cinema for repeat viewings where I have no power of the rewind. Once the Firefly movie leaves theaters, It will be a chunk of time before it appears on DVD and a longer chunk of time before we see another film.
One bonus to doing the films, tho... Joss can write and direct them all! 
I really enjoyed when Fox was cool (in the early years) and produced five Alien Nation TV movies across two or three years time. I would looooove it if Firefly could pull off something like that.
Hell, I would even be happy with Firefly half seasons like S.1! Wouldn't we all?
What keeps a network so glued to the Sept to May 22 episode paradigm anyway?

I'm confused as to why everyone thinks that if it continues it has to have something to do with Fox. Fox said that they weren't going to get in the way of Firefly going anywhere else, so why would the Firefly movie Joss and Nathan talked about be done by Fox?
