I'm not going to ask why you think we're lily-livered, or why you think we're trolls when we don't meet the description, but I have to ask ... cross-dressing?

Where did that come from?

Is it this thread?

I didn't mean it literally ... honest. When I talked about letting out the little crazy psychic girl inside I meant it figuratively.

Do I win the randomness award? Is there a randomness award?

It's at the Raleighwood Cinema Grill on Falls of Neuse Road in North Raleigh. It's one of those movie theaters where you can order steaks, mudder's milk, and the like. :)

Here is the link to the shindig:

It sounds like ticket sales are going strong and I think there's a good chance it will sell out. I was just up in your neck of the woods this past weekend -- you can do the drive in 4 or 4 1/2 hours.

SHINYFLY, don't be downhearted. I went to the link you posted and watched the interview with Joss and came away with a rather good feeling.

If the truth were known I'm sure he is pretty tired of being asked about FF/Serenity all the time. I felt that he is still very ready to put energy into his love of that show. Hes only waiting for the go-ahead from someone or some company. THAT, I think he will get in time.Right now he must focus on the work at hand.

When will the VERSES numbers be big enough for the green light for a sequel? Time will tell. We must stay the path.

Here's something to contemplate, fellow BCs... Just finished season 1 of Battlestar Galactica and realized two things: 1) Ronald D. Moore is the Joss Whedon of the BG 'verse, even though Glen Larson gets a Consulting credit. I'm betting that all Glen is consulting is his navel, cuz THIS version of BG is very engaging, well-written, etc. Kinda soap opera-y, but what the hey. Keeps yer attention. Then I realized 2) that from 1978-79 to 2003 is 25 years. What's to stop Firefly from getting "resurrected" in 10 or 15 or 20 years from now based on the cult status and all the loyal fans the show generated and who kept buying the DVD boxset, T-shirts, Serenity DVD, going to cons, etc. And remember this also: we fans keep the show alive just by writing Fan-Fics. Also, if we keep "holding the line" and spending our hard-earned cashy money of FF stuff, the cumulative $$$$$ will eventaually get someone's attention. Good news is, it's already happened cuz they made a movie from a cancelled TV show hardly anyone saw cuz it only ran for 3 friggin months, right? As more and more people catch the 'Verse fever, they'll keep buying the DVD boxset, the BDM, renting it from Netflix, etc. So in another 3-5 years, the brain-dead studio types will open their eyes to the profit potential of more FF stuff on TV or on the big screen, and then we'll get it. Doesn't even have to be Joss behind it, just like BG -- just fans of the original series who love and know the characters as well as he does. Face it, folks. As Browncoats, it's only gonna get bigger and better for us. You watch.

I don't know how recent it is, and I've read the same elsewhere, but it sucks hearing it from him...Check out the link here, and pass the tissues... http://www.scifi.com/pulse/

"We're still flyin..."

There is still good reason for hope...
_______________________________________

TRANSCRIPT OF JOSS WHEDON'S INTERVIEW ON THE VIDEO:

"Well, I don't know if we made the kind of money that entails sequels or any such thing... uh, I sit by my phone..."

"Um, I would certainly love to. We're gonna do another comic, but that doesn't let me work with the actors, which is what I really want to do."

"Um, I never rule it out... I always keep my hope alive. But the fact of the matter is, right now, it's doubtful."
_______________________________________

Sure, in the last sentence he expresses some doubt about continuing... but he's talking about "right now". We are in a lull because the box office returns for Serenity weren't blockbuster numbers, so future plans got put on the back burner. However, Serenity made its money back and the DVDs continue to sell well. Sometimes things have to sit for a bit so people can regroup. Also, Joss was obligated to fulfill contractual work, and he needed to get working on scripts and other projects. Doesn't mean he left Serenity behind forever, just that he had to get working on other things. He always has tons of ideas and he loves to keep busy.

Anyway, the other parts of the interview are pretty clear, and he's used the term before, he's "sitting by his phone"... meaning he is still quite open to making more Serenity. But now it's a case of he needs to be the one approached. He fought very hard to get Serenity made. Now the next incarnation must be in the form of an offer to him. I'm thinkin' he's gonna let the fandom and DVD sales speak for themselves, one way or the other.

Joss also said that doing a Serenity comic is not the same thing as working with the actors... and I quote him, "... which is what I really want to do."

I don't know how much clearer he can be. He still really wants to create more Serenity with the original cast.

The people who made Serenity want to do more, and the fans want more. If we don't give up then there will be more from the 'Verse.

Keepin' the faith, and still holdin'

So, any word on that much-anticipated plaster cast of Nathan's buttocks?

Keep spreading the word! And buying Firefly goodies, when ya can afford it. Just today I ran into a coworker that I hadn't seen in several months. I mentioned Firefly over drinks way back when and she finally got around to seeing the series. Another convert! I don't think she's seen Serenity yet, so I better let her know that she has the wicked opportunity of actually seeing it in the theater.

Can't stop the signal!

WE are all never giving up, but it may be time to resort to strategy. Ok all find 5 people and get them hooked, then they find five people, etc... if that doesn't work we go with the large gun pointed at head convert or die plan. Once they've seen it there's no way they won't love it. If all else fails we release the monkey with a gun in the Universal studios corporate offices.
