What kind of logic is FOX using?

Or at least the Broadway musical. I'm sure there's a part in DHSAB for Hugh Jackman.

I'm also wondering now what will happen when Fox's rights are up in 2012 (Guys, that's only 3 years away. Does it mean that Joss can shop it around again (really thinking another movie is more likely though)?

So far Fox has squashed the Firefly RPG due to wanting more money (according to my game playing daughter, she keeps up with all that sort of stuff)but they gave us the really shiny Blu-Ray version of the series.

I would actually pay to see Wolverine sing in that musical, and I'd bring my daughter, who knows all the words by heart- and I'd cover her ears during the "The hammer is my !@#%" part, just like in the DVD!
Some people get Joss, some don't.
Glad my daughter is one of them- can't wait till she can see all of Firefly- although I am jealous of anyone who is seeing it for the first time...

Does anyone notice a pattern here with Fox (owned by the man behind the curtain Rupert Murdoch, a devout ultra-neocon-robot-cackling-star-wars-emperor-type supervillain set on ruling the world) PHEW!

Anything that seems to question authority or showcase the plight of the common man at the hands of the establishment, he wants to subject to ridicule and ruin. First FF (which does both of the above-mentioned) and then Watchmen, which is set in an alternate universe and may tell a similar story.

Why else would they want to stop these stories from being told. Finally I see it, Fox is not interested in cashey-money. They want to stop the Watchmen film from ever being shown, as they want to keep the story of our BDH from ever being told - it's not about money for them (or rather for Murdoch) it's about an ideology - FREEDOM.

Think about it - I read an article in Variety that stated that the Fox lawyers and top execs don't care about being paid for the copyright infringement in the Watchmen case. They just want to stop the movie from being shown - WHY? and I repeat WHY? It is extremely curious to me that they would make such a statement. They sat on the Watchmen project for over 17 years. All they want to do is sabotage the movie's opening and possible success. Without a doubt this is WIERD!

Fox, despite their apparent support for Joss to shop FF around, had no intention of ever releasing their rights. Just look at their strange behaviour. Stands to reason.

FISHMAN, yepper F*>< is the ultimate bad word. Badder than the baddest. If I ever catch myself saying it I will have to wash my mouth out with mudders milk.

SGG, I don’t think a company can get more ALLIANCE than that.

I know this a bit off topic, but my take on this whole situation is a bit different. FOX has no interest in working directly with Joss. They have made that clear by NOT taking advantage of the opportunity to get FIREFLY back on the air (and reap the benefits of pandering to us browncoats). The only reason Dollhouse exists, is because FOX loves Dushku. She is the one with the deal with FOX. FOX wanted a Dushku show and Eliza went to Joss and asked him to write the show for her. Don't confuse the matter. By putting Dollhouse on FOX, they are not saying "we love Joss", they are saying "we love Dushku".

I'm just hoping for a dollhouse episode that centers around a rich FIREFLY fan who comes to the Dollhouse wanting to be MAL for a weekend.....

Would Eliza be Inara then? That I would love to see.
