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.
I think there were about 5 minutes of the deleted scenes that would have gone a long way toward fleshing out the characters for the people who were new to the Firefly universe and should have been left in. I don't think they would have affected the pacing of the film that much. I think half of the deleted scenes should have made it in, and the other half would have been okay staying out of the film.

I would love a fan cut!!
Actually wouldn't mind a UK release of the BDM right now [[]Grumble[]] gotta wait till feburary [[]Bitch[]] stupid damn [[]Moan[]]...
Anyone got the special edition of The Abyss? The version I've got lets you play either the Theatrical or Special Edition on the same disc, by inserting the Special Edition scenes into the Theatrical version. That would be great, then you could choose to watch the Theatrical or Fan release...
Plus, I hadn't realised that your 'initials' are CIA Chris (yeah I know it was staring me in the face, but I don't think about that kind of stuff). I remember talk of a Central Intelligence Agency mole in the RWED, we thought it was Lynch, but how cunning would it be for them to use an alias that spells out CIA? A conspiracy theorist, the last person you'd expect to be a government stooge...
Well Chris, I'm watching you...
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
Remember, the ice caps aren't melting, the water is being liberated.

Ok, i truly HATE double dip with a passion. Studios release a barebones dvd and then 4 months later a new edition comes along. Really hate it.
But, just this once, i would really like them to do so. I meen...lets just face it. If they wait 3 months, release a new version. What would happen? All the fans would buy it. Income income income :)
Universal, use me! Use me

Book: Oh, dont get me wrong. I gave him a hell of a fight
Jayne: Epic i'm guessing

For clarify - strongly suspect there will now be a 'double dip' on Serenity (ie a special edition). Cast commentary, hello.
That said, Joss does not want to do a 'fan' cut. I'm not a fan of making Joss do creative things he doesn't like, and so don't work for Fox. Also, the deleted scenes are not colour timed, don't have a proper score and are missing VFX in places -- or, in other words, it'd cost a lot of post production money to finish them and insert into the movie.
I don't think you'll see an extended cut. That said, it wouldn't take much effort to (clumsily) insert the deleted scenes into the movie via fan editing. Anybody up to a challenge?
Now, cast commentary.... Oh yeah.

And it needs a good name. A lot of the special editions lately have had really lameass names, usually taken from some line from the movie. The Region 1 SE of Ferris Bueller's Day Off that comes out in January is called (you ready for this?) the 'Bueller...Bueller' Edition. Egh.
The fan cut of Serenity needs to be called 'The Browncoat Edition.' No question about it. Of course, knowing the corporations, they'll probably call it the 'Oh God, Oh God, We're All Gonna Die' Edition.

Yes!
As far as double dipping goes, I don't think an extended addition qualifies. I think of Batman begins which had no extras on the version I bought, and I didn't know there was a special one (assholes). An an extended version though usually sucks because there were reasons those scenes were cut in the first place. lets face it, were any of us better off with Jabba being in "A New Hope"? Did Dances with wolves really need to be 4 hours? And sometimes they mess up the original...you know like Greedo firing first. But this time (like Blade Runner directors cut) a "Browncoat Edition" LAM would be awesome. It'll happen, cause 'versal is a coporation and corporations want money and this will make them money. I just hope they have some really cool extras to go along with it.

Sad truly sad
But if you really want one.
Take matter's into your one hands (like are Cap. would do) and do it yourself, the movie and deleted scenes are all on the disk all you need to do is splice them toghter.
ya'll just need a basic pc some software and a little time reading up on stuff.
This site will walk you thew it and as links to all the software you need. all-be-it some of the free stuff is not all that user friendly but it'll do the job.

I'd like to see a Director's Cut with some of the deleted scenes put back in but I'd want it done at Joss's direction. The BDM is just fine but yes, I crave more "like a hungry, angry baby" but I'm grateful for what I've gotten so far. The outtakes are hilarious. I agree with some of the sentiment like "Jabba didn't need to be in A New Hope and all that. Frankly I kinda wanted an extra two hours of JarJar Binks in the first movie so I could have died puking and avoided the other two altogether but then I would have missed Serenity. Isn't irony pretty ironic sometimes?

heh heh, Zoot started callin' me CIA in Dark Angel thread posts, It felt most odd at first, but now I think it's kinda funny.
Would you want EVERY deleted scene back in, or just specific ones?
For me, all Inara scenes and the extended end with the Operative (whiner) are must-includes. Anything else is a bonus.
