Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
Hah. Got my dad good and hooked on Firefly through last Friday's SciFi airing. I thought it would be the scifi western combo that would bring him in, and he did like that part. But his main critical comment was, "Good lord that's a lot of pretty women in space!"
And, well, that's true. I'm pretty sure Kaylee's his dream girl (a pretty woman with curves who likes machines).
He's now trying to figure out how to get the sound on his pc to work properly so he can play my dvds.
A friend of mine reports that she's having a hell of a time buying the Firefly DVDs, cause they're sold out everywhere she goes.
Boo. Yah.
You have just made me happy, P-C. I noticed the price is back up on Amazon, too, which is bad for me getting that second copy, but good that they think they can get it.
In case anyone's interested, there's a Serenity bonus disc running approximately 13 minutes that comes bundled with the Best Buy UK edition of Battlestar Galactica. I've never seen BSG, but I got it anyway for the Serenity disc.
Huh.
I was planning on waiting for the regular release of BSG, as the Best Buy UK edition has fewer extras.
What's on the Serenity disk?
Will this bonus disk work on US players?
The first part is the universe of Serenity, which consists mainly of movie clips mixed with comments from Joss and the cast. The middle part is about how much fun the cast and crew had together on the set. It ends with a segment on the fans, containing footage from Comic-Con 2004 and the first two rounds of Serenity screenings, with clips of some of the cast appearances.
ETA: The whole set including the Serenity disc is coded for US Region 1 players. It's just called the BSG UK set at Best Buy because it uses the UK release, but there's a full fledged US release of BSG to follow later on in the year.
I got the go ahead for a UK Serenity documentary film today. Uncle Joss will be so proud. And so very scared.
Thanks for the info!
