I would also donate, gladly, $50 u.s. dollars to see "Firefly" return as a series. A movie would be great but, not as great as a series. I could gush all day about the fine points of the series and it's actors but, I digress. It was excellent. Let's keep this thread going loud and proud, people. Let's Bring Serenity and Her Crew Back!!

Again Antireaver... both you and M4TT are saying lets finance the talent out of pocket or turn to foreign filmmakers. Repeat after me... contract. When you do anything in hollywood you sign away all your rights in the contract. And they won't outsmart them in a world ruled by lawyers. They'll simply go overseas (as many are slowly doing) and find a lesser monopoly to make films with).
The same applies to scifi. George Lucas was the last independant scifi filmmaker to ever outsmart them on contractual rights, and will likely be the last till someone breaks the back of the monopoly.
Nothing the foreign film industry does can ever get any airtime over here since they aren't in the guilds and unions of hollywood. More importantly, their directing/producing braintrust aren't clique-ish with the LA elites. Their work is unworthy of syndication, and even if it is, it's only worthy of emulation before such a thing happens. Please UK and Australia... just go away already. Stop with this nonsense. And India, Japan, France, and all the rest of you? Give it up. Only hollywood.
Example of what I'm saying: I love Brit sitcoms. If I want to view them, I better get myself a satellite dish. Many of them are funny as hell, miles ahead of the standard fare we get on ye olde boob tube, but you never see them on TV on our side of the pond. One of the funniest shows I've ever seen in my life was 'Coupling', and being so funny, hollywood took notice. The American market being their primary breadbasket, rather than air the show from the UK, they tried to remake it with actors and screenwriters from the hollywood guilds. It was a dismal failure, and a hideous cheap copy of something that didn't need copying. Just perfect as it was.
I hope I never live long enough to see them remake the two Star Wars trilogys. I hope Lucas expressly forbids such heresy in his will.
Could substantiate the rest of my points with plenty of examples but whats the point. It's never gonna sink in.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

I don't care about air time/ tv networks.
Internet syndication, internet advertising.
The only contract that I would be signing in trusting the money over would be to the producers of the show selected by Joss whedon himself for the project HE is doing. If joss can't draw significant talent to crew and staff and cast the series then everyone gets their cash back.
If he does we set up a download site and people who contribute get their show for free.
You keep talking about other peoples lawyers. I have lawyers. They know there shit, or would send me to someone else who does.
You keep talking about hollywood and air time and other factors that my proposal makes invalid and unnecessary.
Your core rebuttal points for your argument are illogical because they do not address the premises of my arguments WHATSOEVER, thus your conclusions are utterly false, in addition to being peppered with your personal biaises and dysenfranchisement with the idea of autonomous viewer support of TV programming, especially when applied to sci fi.
In short, I think you just can't wrap your brain around this, so you have to tear it down, and you are doing it with everything you have, which ends up being some related data and figures about other projects kinda related to this, and frankly, that isn't much.
Besides, I thought you said you were not going to bother posting here again on this topic. Doesn't it bore you? Or is that insipid little itch you have for everyone to bow to your abysmally depressing interpretation of the universe bugging you again? Do you perhaps feel validated in your own pessimism and inaction for saving the things that make you happy if you can force feed your sentiment to the people around you?
Just curious and all....
