$30 is MSRP. It'll be at most $20 street. Firefly's MSRP is $50.
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Looks like the pre-order price at Amazon.com will be $20.99

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It looks like Darth River and The Reaver Wars.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...
I really don't like that artwork. But then I didn't like the posters they used in the UK. I agree that it all makes it look so, well, crap, but I can go with B-movie-ish.
And those are flames? They make it look a bit "Children of the Corn" to me. Oh well, I'm sure that someone at Universal knows what they are doing. (Let's send them appl... oh).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh.
TV You'll Want To Pay For - How $2 downloads can revive network television.
With a photo of the cast of Firefly, with the caption, "Firefly: Could it have been saved by on-demand TV?"
Until now, broadcast television has followed a predictable pattern. If a show does not attract enough viewers, it goes off the air. Sometimes this system functions perfectly (e.g., Who Wants To Marry My Dad?), but it often fails in spectacular fashion. Many of the most innovative shows of the last two decades—shows that generated critical acclaim and cult followings—have been early casualties of the ratings wars.
When such shows get canceled, there are generally two explanations: Either the network didn't know how to market or schedule the show, or the series grew too complex and unwelcoming for casual viewers and latecomers. (Joss Whedon's Firefly is an example of the former, while David Lynch's Twin Peaks exemplifies the latter.) Both scenarios are symptoms of the same problem. There's still an assumption that if a show is good enough, a sizable audience will be sitting in front of the television when it airs. In an age of DVD boxed sets and TiVo, such a belief is fatally flawed.

Swouncing
Skipping again (I have verything threadsucked, like 2000 posts, and I will read them, each and every one! No, really!). Just wanted to post that "Serenity" won't be shown in regular cinemas in Israel. The one screening, at that science-fiction convention, where I saw it, seems like the only one. Which is stupid, considering they already had somebody translating the movie and everything, but, well, sigh.
So most likely no second viewing of more-critical-eyes and let's-think-about-things-now for me. At least, not on the big screen. And quite a few friends who were waiting for the movie to be released won't be able to watch it on the big screen, at all. Sigh for them.
