I burn my 'Blue Sun' T-shirts, toss my Firefly box set in the trash and assign the show to the annals of history, much like John Doe and simply move on.

Yeah, AS IF!!

I don't know who 'that guy' is you speak of, and I don't know whether or not the Firefly would make a better movie. As long as we're flyin, thats good enough for me.

You want to meet the real me ?

First of all, I agree with you, shameless marketing can make one cringe. I know I did when I saw the LOTR action figures at a Sci-fi convention. But some of the items on your list would be quite desirable and beloved. A PS2 game could be awesome, but only, like Static says, if it's a well-done RPG instead of a crappy piece of crap. Serenit scale models would be awesome, and board/card games has been suggested on this site. (It goes without saying that they would need to have effort put into them, etc.) Firefly plates and towels could be cool. Meaningless, but still cool. A novelization, most likely crappy, is inevitable. They novelized almost every recent sci-fi/fantasy, even Galaxy Quest. The only ones spared are those based on books, like Star Wars and the LOTR trilogy.

Maybe if the movie does bad and they can't get back on TV they could go on the road with a stage production of firefly, like they used to do with dracula.

IMMPOSSIBLE, FIREFLY IS GREAT IDEA FOR MOTION-PICTURE. WITH A LARGE BUDGET JUST IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF OUTER SPACE SPECIAL EFFECTS. SERENITY WOULD LOOK SO WONDERFUL, BETTER THAN USS ENTERPRISE OF STARTREK MOVIES.

WHERE EVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE.

This is not 100% reliable, but my friend from high school who is at film school in LA says that Serenity is starting in his building, the movie is being called Serenity and the ship is being built. He sees Joss/Tim/Drew etc walking around all the time. He also (this i know) watches each new Angel episode with Jenny Mollen, so i kind of trust him. Things are happening. But don't quote this as gospel.

I so hope this not someone feeding you a line of B.S. Any idea what film school he works at? Any way you get some details from him so we can verify this is legit?

Yes, shameless marketing is normally irritating, but you know, if it is Firefly I will make an exception.

Quite honestly, I would buy anything Firefly that they put out. Models, card games, and board games would be great. I would love a PS2 game, but I agree it would have to be a well done one.

I posted something very similar to this myself over at the official board Static. You left out a few items:

- collectible card game
- action figures
- models of Serenity, Alliance ship & Reaver ship
- fuzzy slippers that look like Serenity
- novel adaptation of the movie
- "Making of Serenity" collectible paperback
- official Firefly decoder ring
- Firefly cereal
- Firefly sunglasses (Mal & Zoe will wear them in the movie)
- Firefly gag mustaches
- Blooper reel from the movie
- bath towels
- dinner plates
- Firefly lunchbox
- PS2 game
- Firefly boardgame
- Dr Simon medical kit

What about:
Firefly teeth whitening strips
Firefly disposable enemas
Firefly edition Cadillac Escalade
Firefly brand Household Fire Insurance policy
Firefly airhorns for attracting the attention of non-Firefly fans
Firefly official artificial limbs
Firefly fans could raise money to establish a leper colony
Firefly could provide high schools with new band instruments - start small with kazoo, work up to trombone and eventually marimbas and tuba!!
Enlist the NRA in advertising Firefly
Bake sales - browncoat brownies and Firefly newtons!
Finally, Firefly should endorse it's own Presidential candidate (Not Ralph Nader!!!)

Hey, now! I like the idea of helping high school bands out!

Or course, I'm biased as I'm a "band parent". Stupid sports get all of the cash, and the band is left to raise all the money on their own.

School board --> <-- Band parents
