Talk 'bout what? If you're looking to work towards the return of Firefly in a legitimate fashion (and the closing of your website indicated to me that you are) I'm willing to assist as I can.

That's really what I wanted to know. I know the initial campaign offended you and others and I wanted to interview you as a sample of that group to see what I could do to mend those fences.

I'd be glad to work with you. My ire was never about you, but about someone the community doesn't know collecting money to do something we'd already seen miserably fail with another series.

That is so sad. I 've also heard that in Scotland people even post their daily feelings on things called "Bogs."

Hold up! I just realized I have a lot, I mean A LOT, of muddied leaves in my backyard...

Adrew,

Quote:
He helped me see that fan money even if given to Joss represents a loss of power to the decision makers at the studios involved. They want full control over what they do and often will make decisions not based on logic, but the emotion of the moment. Films and TV shows often do not get made because the person in charge of the decision doesn't like the maker of the show (happens everywhere in life but is magnified in entertainment where relatively few shows are made versus not made).

Thank you for the clarification. But... Isn't this *exactly why* it is such a good idea with fan-sponsored TV? To put it bluntly: to take away power from the stuipd power hungry media gurus that forced changes in the show and cancelled it in the first place based on their "feelings"?

Actually, if someone had a trustable fun-raising campain for any series, be it "barbie horse adventures", I would donate just for the piviledge of giving the finger to the decision-makers who don't listen to the fans...

Have you guys considered the possible side effect that Joss could be finished in Hollywood by taking our money and take the piss out of the studios with it? I think this the point that was made here.

I do not believe that starting a firefly 2 fund is the way to get it done. Unless the sole purpose is to buy 10 million DVDs.

So, if that is not possible then the only option the fans have is to PICK IT, and PROTEST. The fans must get out and get signs and walk the PICK IT LINES.

ONCE THE FANS GET THE TV NEWS COVERING THE PICK IT LINES AND PROTESTS, then attention to the cause could be maximized..

WE COULD CALL FOR BOYCOTTS of sponors too.

Well, that is just my opinion.

Thanks

A noble effort there, but I think that in the meanwhile you should do some research. Maybe take some classes in TV production...especially on the money side...and find out what goes into making and producing a (network) TV show.
It seems that you found out that it's a little bit..no, it's more...complicated and involved than just raising some money.
Take care and good luck.

"Pick it?"
Pick what?!
Do you mean PICKET?
And boycott who?
Sponsors are advertisers who buy advertising time (aka commercials) during a show's time slot.
Why are you talking about boycotting...and just who are you going to boycott...and for what purpose?
Take a deep breath, dearie.
The way to make sure Universal knows that we want a sequel is to make sure that Serenity (and Firefly) stuff that's licensed by the studio gets bought.
DVDs, CDs, novels, books, Hot Topic t-shirts (those are the ones that are licensed), RPGs, trading cards...
That's how they know that there's an audience for more.
That's what's going to make them decided whether they can make money off of a Serenity/Firefly franchise.
Not picket lines and the like.

For the first paragraph, I agree, although I acknowledge I'm not too well versed on the complicated workings here. In my layman's opinion, though, keeping over-confident fools from ruining a creator's vision has gotta be a good thing. On the flip-side, though, I'm not sure about Universal's interaction with Serenity's creation, beside Josh's comments on the DVD, but they sure as hell earned my respect for the good they done.

As for the second paragraph, I smell an Xbox and/or Penny Arcade fan.

I wish I could write well enough to write about aircraft.
