Sci-Fi has a very good track record on their mini-series. Don't forget that is how the Galactica reboot started. I wouldn't mind seeing them greenlight a movie or mini, but only if Joss has control. Those dimwits at the network would try to dumb it down to just an action flick. I think a lot of the cast and crew would work for scale if they could get back together, and surely Zoic has plenty of CGI effects saved.

No, it's not wrong. But movies based on real events will always take liberties on the factual account. It is impossible not to. To what degree, depends on the screenwriter, and director. Heck, it's even getting to the point where certain documentaries are getting skewed from their respective subject.

The King's Speech would be more entertaining if George VI gets the stutters because he knows his brother, Edward VIII, is a Nazi. It's plausible with Edward. Let the royals sue for libel if they don't like fictionalized history. 'It's only a movie' will be the legal defense. Surely that will convince a judge.

SyFy has a lengthy history of producing terrible original programming, but Tin Man is several cuts above their usual dreck. Sure, the special effects are poor and some ideas seem half-baked, but the good storytelling goes a long way towards overcoming these problems.

I don't care what you say about the special effects, anytime they want to show flying monkeys leap out of a hot chick's chest I'm there.

I would definitely take a Serenity 2 with effects of that quality. Especially if we get the same air time as tin man. That got what like 6 hours of air time?

Tin Man was 3 episodes, 90 minutes each without commercials. Flying monkey tattoo of the Wicked Witch. Who gets the magical tattoo in Serenity II? Inara because she bares a lot of skin? River because she's weird and witchy? Kaylee because she's into tattoos? Or is it Jayne because he already has tattoos?

we all have to remember how serenity got made in the first place: the fans unwillingness to give up. This more than any thing else, including dvd sales, is what got it made in the first place. Even so, i just bought two copies of serenity- collecters edition, just in case

Hmmm you may have inadvertently stumbled upon why Serenity 2 is not being made. If we the fans don't even have a clear choice for which character should be "boobies that shoot flying monkeys girl" then what real mass appeal do we have? I think if Joss had made Saffron a regular then the choice would be clear and we'd probably have a green light by now.

"Every one of them leaves the conference room at Universal Studios with a bloody nose. Is that enough to satisfy your need for violence? If not, then maybe some gunshots. Bullets are popular in TV movies."

I love your sarcasm -- at least with regard to violence. I often say similar things myself. I like the way you think. Possibility thinking.

It would be nice if we could collaborate on some project.

Well, lets convert him!
