Movies that were a waste of money when Serenity 2 could have been green lighted.

Granted this is a little off topic, but I've bought the Firefly series a long time ago (like when I was overseas) and didn't get the third disk. Can someone help me out? There's three episodes that I haven't seen.

Sorry, Outsyder, but I agree with Misstressahara. Miami Vice is one movie that probably didn't need to be made, especially when we could have had another Serenity film. There are so many TV shows and movies that deal with cops, and not any that deal with our BDH's. Not to discredit Michael Mann, but I'd take a Joss film any day.

Well, regardless of our differences of opinion on whether Miami Vice should have been made, there's not doubt in my mind that Miami Vice will make more money than a Serenity 2 would have. In Hollywood, money talks. That's why crap that earns big at the box office gets greenlighted over better, smaller movies.

Not that I think Vice is crap, but it will be a big movie.

Little (explative deleted) couldn't stay off the gorram phone, wouldn't stop seat hoppin, and wouldn't shut up. Wanted so badly to fly off into a violent rage, ripping theater seats from the floor, traumatising them forever. Or, at the very least, take their cell phones so I could tell their parents how they utterly failed the human race.
I was in the special hell!

What a strange coincidence...it was exactly the same at the theater I was at. I was angry it was playing at only one theater in my neighborhood...and it wasn't the one up the street

but then there were these annoying brats that made it worse, I actually think they were my age, but it still pissed me off. Gotta hate people that talk in the theater.

them!

Hi,
just pointing out that Slither is actually a remake.

But YAY for our BD Cappy.

And on the special hell thing i took my young (5, 7, 9yrs old) neices, and nephew to see Stormbreaker, they sat through the whole film and only once spoke.... To ask me why the couple next to the 7 year old were licking faces and giggling...and why's he got his hand there..is he holding her pants (knickers) up?

I don't mind if people wanna pay all that money to go to see a film and kiss and fondle each other through the film but why pick a kids film? WHY? The 9 year old was embarrassed and the 7 year old was disgusted. And when i asked them if they'd mind not doing that in the seat next to my 7 year old they said well i paid £6 for my ticket i'll do what i want. Ignorant Morons.

Sorry i know i went off topic but it really wound me up. These idiots are the future of the world/country, then oh budda we're in trouble.

I think the reason would be that they weren't quite old enouph to go to an adult film, and said what the hey we don't care about the plot anyway.

When I saw King Kong there where 15 teens sitting in front of us who deserved to go to the special hell. They were throwing stuff at the screen, yelling comments at the screen and yelling at each other. Finally this really big black dude, who looked like he beat peeps up for a living, just cause of his build, came over and warned them that if they didn't get out of the theator, the theator peeps would have to call securtiy to come pick up pieces of their bodies.

Yes, there was clapping and cheering. :)

No, it isn't. There was a 1970s film called Slither, but it has absolutely nothing to do with it. There's also a film called Serenity that has nothing to with Serenity.

Hollywood churns out things like Miami Vice because PEOPLE GO AND SEE THEM. If people stop going, they will stop making them. It's that simple. Not enough people went to see Serenity, so it won't get a sequel (probably). They probably went to see Big Mommas House 2 instead.

This is slightly off-topic but I thought this was the best place to put it. Yesterday I saw a film called Mirrormask, I hadn't seen it before but it looked interesting. I found it to be very entertaining, and original (well...as far as i know.) Sort of a different take on the Wizard of Oz. It's a fantasy movie, and I thought I'd just give it a mention. I rented it out, I never saw it in theaters, I don't know if it was even released in theaters, but not every good film is.

Yarrrrrrgggg. Hell, I'd give up a whole year's worth of good movies just to have a few more Firefly episodes.

The whole thing just stinks. What's that? The perfect TV show? Cancelled! What's that? A movie based on said TV show? Fine, but no sequel!

I find the whole thing depressing. I'm just glad I got to see Serenity, the very last episode of Firefly (I see it as just a big episode), on the big screen. Most movies I'm only impressed with and buy it on DVD, forgetting about when I saw it in theatres. But Serenity... that was different. The whole time I was sitting there going "Wow." I'll never forget it.

Sorry, but I've seen the original and Slither is a remake right down to the deer in the office and slugs in the bath. Although the look way better now than they did then.

Uhm, okay. However, it's actually not a remake. Sorry if I sounded a bit snarky there, but the director is a friend of a friend, and it gets annoying seeing people saying it's a remake. It's not. It's an original script.

There's a 1973 comedy called Slither, of which you can find info on here:
