what is a firefly crutch?
Yeah, I have a lot of friends and family. I gave away a dvd set every two months or so. I was expecting to turn everyone into raging Browncoats like myself but it didn't happen. Spent a lot of my own $$ as you pointed out looking for a result that never arrived.
So now if my friends/family want to see how the Firefly story ends, they'll have to secure their own copies of Serenity.
Hey, but at least some of them made it to see Flightplan while it was on the bigscreen!

Just one. Then I'll burn some copies for my friends....
KIDDING!!!!!!
I'm getting 11 copies, ten to go with the Firefly boxsets I've gifted out over the years. And it sure makes Christmas shopping a bit easier...

I got 10 copies myself even though I haven't thought out exactly who I am going to give them to, but whatever. All that matters is that ten more copies are sold and Firefly/Serenity gets one step closer to filming again.

Great attitude! That's the way I'm trying to think about it. I know that my 10 or so copies aren't about to singlehandedly finance the sequel, but I want to do what I can for the show that I so recently discovered and fell in love with. And for those who haven't had great results in giving away the series or talking it up to friends, the truth is, not everyone is going to get it. But lots of people will, they just need to know about it. I wish someone had told me about it way earlier, so I could have seen the movie more times, and told more people about it before it left. Every single person I did manage to talk into seeing it, though, has loved it enough that they will buy the DVD, and possibly the series, even if only one of them has become as hard-core a fan as I am.
DVD sales do need to be huge, and the best way for people to spread the word is to see it for themselves, so I think we should keep a positive attitude and get as many copies to spread around as we can afford. And if we can't afford to buy very many copies, then let's talk it up big, get them to rent it or lend out our own.
It ain't over til it's over...and it's nowhere near over yet.

that's a terrific idea. i'd like to send a few there myself. where would i get addresses?
i think i'm going to actually buy a lot more than ten and just give to random friends and associates. i figure if the dvd revenue blows up, universal will be more inclined to finance a sequal, and fox might be persuaded to revisit the show. high hopes.
As far as sending some copies to the troops in Iraq, I imagine that there are charitable groups within the military (probably made up of spouses)who take donations for care packages to our soldiers. I don't have any contact info right now, but my husband and I will look into it this week. I was planning on sending a few copies of Serenity directly to my husbands co-workers who are currently deployed, and would be happy to add in a few extras for them to give out to their men, but if several people were interested in donating their copies to our soldiers, it would probably work better to send them through some sort of organization.
I'll let everyone know on this thread (and maybe a new one, as well) what I find out about that. I do know that they would LOVE a great movie to watch...as I said before, they get really bored, and lots of them have DVD players. It would be a great morale boost to some guys (and gals!) who could really use it.
