I'm ashamed to say that I never watched firefly when it was running on tv. A friend of mine told me i had to watch the episodes a couple months ago and i listened to him. By the time I finished the episodes it was just barely too late to go see serenity in the theatres. I ran out and bought it today as soon as i got out of work and watched it. Unbelievable movie. Nothing would make me happier than a sequal or more episodes being made.

Remember after the first couple of weekends' box office returns, all the people gleefully trumpeting it as a failure, a bomb, etc.? Me wonders what their reaction to this news is...


(BTW, Guapo34 - great username! I miss the big fella.)

Just an update,

Serenity is still at #1!

Firefly is at #5!

If it wasn't for the penguins and The Sound of Music (wtf? everyone who likes this film must have seen it a gazillion times already) I think we'd have a real chance of taking the top 2 spots in Amazon.com's DVD chart. That would be very very sweet @D

EDIT: Ok, someone already noted that FF was at #5. My post is a waste, woe is me.

i'm hoping to get the dvd. i've been buggin my mom about it ever since i got home for christmas break. we are going shopping today, so she put it on her things to buy list. i hope i get to get so i can watch it on the super-long 16 hour drive to florida from oklahoma. of course, i flew from cali to oklahoma, so that was good. anywho, back to the movie. i'm gonna watch my dvd set, then i'm gonna watch serenity for the remainder of the trip. i'm just glad it came out in time for christmas. that will really boost the dvd sales. anywho, gotta go. laterz.

This boat may fly again.


I heard Bill Gates is a fan, and set his computer to order one copy of Serenity every ten minutes so we can get a sequel!

Just like people bought all those videos of Buffy and Angel then followed it up by the DVDs. Thats a big market.

I was reading on the net that movie tickets sales are decreasing, probably as home cinema gets better and better. So hopefully we are looking at the tip of the iceberg in regards to Serenity sales.




It makes me CRAZY that DVD sales #s and $$s are kept so secret. There has to be someone on the inside that could "accidentally" let us know how many copies of both the series and the movie have been sold.

Why such a deep dark secret? Especially when box office $$ is so public.

If Bill Gates likes Firefly and Serenity, the man could fund the production of a new series. Serenity still #1 on Amazon and #5 for Firefly

UK Amazon rating is: Serenity #20 and Firefly #60
