OK, we're all pleased as punch that the 2-disc special edition is coming out

But what should we do with all the copies of Serenity we currently own and cherish? I was thinking that come July there will be a lot of older copies going unplayed and this could be a great opportunity to get it out there to the masses

Personally, I'll be getting the new edition and be looking for a good home for the prevous version. Aside from giving it away to someone who "might" like it or donating it to the local library, what other options are out there?

On a side note: Do you think that Universal will be looking at the performance of this new addition in retlation to a sequel, or do I dare say trilogy?

I'll probably keep mine unless the extras that are on the old one are also on the new one as well. If they are then I am sure I can find a friend to give it too. Or maybe a complete stranger on the street.

How about sending it to military personnel overseas?

Yes! Good idea!

And hospitals, long term care centers, or community homes.

You will be amazed how much they can use some donated movies. My cousin had a bad accident years ago and was in a living in a rehab center for 3 months. All she can do was watch movies and I donated all my old VHS tapes at the time.

It is not like those places have a lot of extra money for movies.

All great suggestions. Here in my town we have Middleway House, a shelter and counseling center for abused women and their children. I intend to donate both the BDM and the Series to them. The Library here has 7 copies of the BDM (all checked out, with a waiting list; Yay!) and 4 copies of the Series Box Set (ditto for the waiting list, Yay again!). I believe the Hospital has both; not sure about local nursing home facilities.

Hey TDBrown,

From my experience when I once worked in a DVS, they do not take movies with any type of volience. No PG or PG-13.

Maybe try the Nursing homes? Just wanted to give you a "heads up". Give the shelter a call anyway, okay?

But Thank You so much for thinking of these women & children. What a true Browncoat you are!

Thank you, Spacegirl. It's nothing, really. Middleway House has been my "charity of choice" for awhile now. Last year I held a midnight screening of the BDM at a Video Store and raised $70 for them. It seemed like a more local and immediate way to support women's rights.

I'll take your advice, though. I see your point about the violence and all, though Mal "sticking it" to Atherton Wing is mighty Inspirational, in my book! lol

Now me, I'm clingy, so I'll most likely keep my edition anyway. I'm hoping it won't be too hard to get a hold on the SE over here in Germany. Keep your fingers crossed. Fortunatly I'm also generous, so me holding on to my own copy won't keep me from buying others that I can give to my friends and the like.

Every fear has a history.

I agree, all. If I get a new Serenity movie (IF, mind. I'm poor), then I'll probably give away my old 'un- either to rehab, Brookhaven Hospital (Where me Ma works), or some other type a needy-folk place.
Yeah for us, for we are the blessed, with the fruits of the Holy Hnad Grenade of Antioch!!!
