I don't usually start these things, but after listening to the commentary on the deleted scenes, I have one thing to say; SCREW THE MOMENTUM!!!
I want as much character as I can get. I want the slow, wordy stuff like in the series. I want a 'fan cut' that takes it's time, and don't care to rush to it's climax.

I'll love the movie anyway, but a version with the deleted scenes replaced would be taken as a kindness by me.

Any of y'all agree, or is Serenity better as she is?

YES. I keep thinkin' about that, since I got my DVD...just...like..."Why is it that you can play the movie with the commentary, but not with deleted scenes!?"

There's probably a good reason, but I'm 14 years old, I'm allowed to make weird statements.

Captain Reynolds never touched me, all he did was rent me a shuttle and be very, very annoying!

Maybe a nice Monteray Jack....

Seriously, I can't stress enough how much fuller and satisfying a new cut, or 'branching' version would be. I want as much of these characters as I can get (without having to re-edit it in my brain). I don't mind at all payin' again, Hell, I want every version possible!!!

Joss, tell us it's in the cards!

I agree and thought the same thing when i watched the deleted scenes. Its good that the movie was shown the way it was and its good that the DVD was released the way it was (unlike when Aliens originally came out on DVD it was the directors cut and long and boring as hell), but now that thats all done, lets have a special edition long ass movie (LAM). If for no other reason it'll sell copies and make 'versal some money and give more of a chance to get a new movie.

For me personally I wanted more talking like in the series. I wish they would have left the deleted scenes in.

But on the other hand the people who didnt watch firefly wouldnt have liked serenity as much with all the talking beacuse they were expecting and action packed movie, which it was.



Life's short...Play hard.
The only worry in ones mind should be looking back on ones life and wondering what they did with it.

Non-Browncoats were best served by the theatrical release, I believe. But those of us who know Mal and his crew could use more.
Joss was forced by the medium to second-guess himself; every word he wrote, every scene he filmed had special meaning, especially to us, the Browncoat family.

In time, I trust, the full version will be available to us (or, the version I'll make for myself with my 'puter, although I'd much rather PAY [MONEY, $$$$ to UNIVERSAL] for another incarnation of the BDM).

Hopefully, dollars speak for Chrisisall

I agree.

Since we're asking for a full cut DVD version, how about a cast commentary added also. That would be SHINY!

Oh, and the extended outtakes reel. What can I say, I'm greedy.
