You stupid bastard. "Now go away and ponder something more your speed"? You dare speak to me of stupidity when your reply asking me to leave is the very thing that brings me, who hasn't posted in this thread in well over a year, back here. I said up there I was 24 and this is such an old thread that I'm 26 now. I don't ever think about your pathetic little turd of a show and especially not about this lame ass board but now that you've relpied I get the e-mail notification and it, caused by you, brings me back.

Movie? I'll believe that crap when I see it. Talk of a movie is cheap. And of course you stupid bastards bitching about it isn't making a difference in a movie being made one way or the other. You are meaningless.

Why is it selling well on DVD? "Well" is obviously very relative. It is selling somwhate because all you stupid bastard geek cult losers love to love crap that people hate. But people hate it 'cause it sucks and so you love to hate crap that sucks.

I'm old enough to remember jerks like you, condemning original series Trek fans for loving a show that was canceled after only 3 years. After 10 movies and four spin off series, those detractors have been shown for the short sighted fools that they were. Time will prove you equally wrong.

Oh sweet Jesus how I would love to put this in a time capsule and show it to you in 10 years when Firefly is as forgotten as Paula Poundstone's show. Congratulations for being really old. You've really made it and you're totally living the dream of razzing some guy on Internet over some weak sauce garbage show no one but a load of geeks care about. To compare Firefly to Star Trek is just beyond retarded. That had been on for years while this was canceled early in it's first. This hasn't come back and won't because no one cares. This thread has been here over a year and the show's not coming back. Time truly has proven that. I don't know how much longer you need to wait before admiting it's dead dead dead. Apparently there's no reasoning with you.

Your fan base is growing? Wow! Where else did it have to go? It was practically non existant.

You know what? None of this matters because the bottom line is you guys are all wasting your time liking a crappy show that's deader than Elvis on a bowl full of Firefly fans.

Yeah, I dare! Ewwww, you're so tough! You don't read the news much do you punk? Serenity (that's the name of the movie, in case you missed it) is already in preproduction, the cast and crew hired, and filming will begin in just a few weeks! It's going to happen, so store this message in your little time capsule, and a year from now you can open it the night the movie premieres!

Funny how you picked Elvis to compare with Firefly. His record sales are better than ever. Not bad for a dead guy! Could you be any dumber? Wait, don't bother trying to answer that. I'll do it for you! YES, but there's nothing wrong with you that couldn't be cured with some Prozac and a polo mallet! Moron!

BTW: Other news you might have missed while living in your parent's basement; there's a war going on over in Iraq, and there's a perfect new show for losers like you, the Nick and Jessica Variety Hour! Enjoy!

I'm not saying there won't be a movie. I'm saying I'll believe it when I see it because I don't currently have any reason to believe such a futile effort will follow through. Lots of movies make it to preproduction and don't get made. And if by some mistake it does get made I can guarantee you it won't be released in theatres like such gems based on lame shows as the X-Files movie. And by that I mean an actual full release. Not some geek festival in Joss's basement. Non theatre released movies are easy to make. I could make one. I have made one. It had no sound and it was a 12th grade French class project. I'm saying the Firefly movie will not get a general theatrical release and if I'm wrong then you can kick me in the nuts.

This movie thing has nothing to do with the time capsule. The time capsule is to prove that Firefly will be the next Star Trek. If that happens I will take my own life.

Now I'm not about to argue that Elvis is not still profiteable but to even suggest that he is now selling more records than ever is a bit retarded. It's like saying Firefly's ratings are now better than ever after it's canceled. 5 may be a lot of people to be watching a canceled show when considering there were 13 viewers when it was new but 5 isn't bigger than 13.

And don't go bringing up the war in Iraq as if someone who's not hip to the new of a movie based on a failure of a show canceled before it's 13th episode is in any way out of the loop.

We'll see ya next year, when the movie is in wide release. Universal doesn't spend 50 million dollars on a movie, just so Joss can show it in his basement! LMAO! Nice attempt to save face, but you must know that next year the movie will be out, and the chances are very good that Universal will make a good return on their investment. The fact is, we already won. The DVD sales alone support that Firefly shouldn't have been canceled, and those numbers were more than enough to convice Universal to buy the property from Fox and give it a decent budget to make it into a movie. You lose! We'll check back here next year to see if you have the guts to admit you were wrong, when box office sales prove you wrong once again.

Universal will not spend 50 million on a Firefly movie. They wouldn't spend that much on a movie they don't give a general release, sure. That doesn't mean they'll give Firefly a general release because they won't pour that much money into it.

I have always made a promise to drink an entire bottle of salad dressing if this movie gets a general release. By that I mean most theatres like over 90% of the movies that are in the top 10 grossing movies of any given week.

I have never had any problem admitting I was wrong when I was wrong. I'm not wrong though. I'm not an idiot. If I'm wrong I'll eat my words and more and I am confident in saying this because I won't be. Luckily this will all be proven sooner or later.

See you next year.

You lose again.

1. The original budget of 35million, was just raised to 50million (that's US dollars) for Serenity.

2. The sets have been built, and one of the largest prop houses in L.A., The Hand Prop Room, is currently building props and weapons for the movie.

3. Zoic Studios has been contracted to create the visual effects for the movie.

These are all published facts! No Studio would spend that kind of money, and not give the movie a wide release! To do so, would be dumber than you are being, by not admitting to the facts! The movie is a fact, it comes out next summer! See you next year. Hope you like guzzling salad dressing! I'll be happy to send you a case! LMAO!

I'm trying to keep track of all the things adam is going to do when Serenity is a hit in WIDE release:
- let us kick him in the nuts
- kill himself
- drink an entire bottle of salad dressing
- eat his words
Am I missing anything? This guy better be under 24 hour suicide watch if someone tells him that Universal sees Serenity as a possible trilogy franchise.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I'm not seeing where I said I'd kill myself. Please back that up. I said I would kill myself if Firefly became the next Star Trek. Please call me when it is renewed for 3 more seasons, spawns 3 seperetate series of 7 seasons each (and then another that doesn't have long) and 10 movies not to mention the crazy conventions.

Man, this is flaring up again. People are entitled to certain things. Of course, some of this may be taken for slander/liabel (Spelling?). But hey, I'll just let him talk. Cause there's nothing we can do to shut him up, and nothing he can do to shut us up. Well, there is, but it's complicated.

Firefly is a very well done show, in my opinion. Adam's is different. He thinks it sucks. Let him think that, we don't have a totalarian government set up yet (I'm working on it!), so we don't have thought police. Yet. So, just let him rant, and ignore him. I didn't read any of the newer posts, cause I know what they say.
