Ah, it makes me happy just thinking about it! If Joss' creation gets interfered with, I do hope there are lots of deleted scenes and bonus material and maybe even a director's cut version of the Big Damn Movie. Ah, Hell, I hope that anyways.

Personally I like to see DVD extras that show the actors out of character interacting on set, interviews with the writer and director about how the movie was conceived and executed, and the cuts that the director wanted to include but that got lost on the editing room floor for one reason or another.
My favorite extra: Joss' commentary on the last ep of Firefly. I loved it when he said that he had Summer bend way over at the waist to look at the twig/gun the way she did because she was a dancer and she could and he liked that.
What is your favorite extra?

I loved the deleted scene from "OMR" with River and Simon. River is such a child at times, and that was definitely one of them.
BUT.. ..my all time favorite DVD extra is Adam Baldwin singing "The Hero of Canton" in the funny hat. I'm a singer, and I love the way he NAILS the first note. . .going WAY off pitch and then wrestling it back.

The more money they make, the more likely the series will come back to TV - or some other venue that will continue our crew's journey. I fail to see the problem here, and I will pledge this very instant to buy any - and all - "extra" or "extended" or "director's" versions of the movie they want to put out. That would be the time when we collectively put our money where our mouths have been for the last 2 years.

In contrast, and extended edition is when they ask "What extra footage do we have that we can include to sell as a new release so that we can make more money?"

I disagree. As much as I love the show, I'm not going to buy rehashed crap just because it has "Serenity" or "Firefly" slapped on the cover.
and I think it is much more likely for Universal to make a sequel than a new TV show.

Quite honestly I will be so happy to have the movie I don't care how they put it out, standard, director's cut, extended version, letterbox, Reaver's cut, who cares?!? It is a movie!! Our movie! Our ship & crew flyin' again! I will buy it in any form it is boxed and presented in to the public.
As for whether or not it makes it back to TV, I think that depends on the final product of the movie and how it does in the box office. If it is a success, I think it will go to the small screen. If that was not Universal's plan, then why would they have Joss rewrite the script as a "springboard" to a series? Also, if it does go back to the small screen, no reason they can't do a sequel to the movie. TV would just generate more interest in a sequel, and increase sales of the first movie, all of which means more money for Universal, Joss, and the cast, and more Firefly for all of us.

Yes, but will you buy the standard, director's cut, extended version, letterbox AND Reaver's cut? That's the real question. Buying the movie is a forgone conclusion, the question is are you going to buy rehashed crap (assuming the rereleased stuff sucks or is marginally ok)just becasue it says Firefly or Serenity on it?
As for the sequel/tv show I think I'll start a seperate thread for that.

Abso-ruttin'-lutely! I will do anything that will help the show - or another movie - get out there and continue the story that Joss intended to tell in a seven year series.
As for the "assuming it's substandard" bit, since when does Joss put out anything that can be dubbed "substandard," "crap," or "rehashed"?

You tell 'em Astri!
I will buy anything and everything w/ the name Firefly or Serenity on it. Sure I may not need it, but I will do all I can to support the movie, Joss, the cast, and the future of the show. I will try to convince as many as I can to do so as well.

If Joss has 2 hours of film he wants to show then it will be a 2 hour movie...
if he ends up with 3 hours of film which he needs to tell his story then it will be a 3 hour movie...
umm...i don't know about that last part.
3 hour movies are not the norm.
lord of the rings has a whole series of books worth of story-telling and warranted three 3-hour flicks.
ghandi was, well it was an epic historical film that completely filled 3 hours+.
i don't doubt joss' writing skills, and hopefully this will be a hit movie, but the final product will have to 1)kick some major ass; 2)test extremely well; and 3)blow universals socks off before they'll release it as a 3 hour flick.
just my humble opinion here.
me? i've had the box set since xmas and i can still sit through back-to-back "Serenity 1&2" and "The Train Job" and be happy as a clam!
is it possible to wear out a dvd?
