Well ... Okay.
Wait! I can keep Melinda Clarke , right?
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

Mal's sidelong glance as the last shot of The Message? HOTTER THAN THE SUN. (You know, just in case anyone missed it.)
Ahem.
In other news, how come DVD sets never seem to include the previouslies?

Well, R1 Mutant Enemy ones never do, at any rate. I know R2 Buffy did for at least some seasons (there's commentaries that had to be slightly edited because of this). And I know my West Wing DVDs have the previouslies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
At the risk of making a Firefly relevant post, I present: Serenity being released on HD DVD.

I want to be Mal.
I want to have this really seriously weird family that has all kinds of issues that piss off the world. I want to stand between the world and my seriously weird family and tell the world to back off.
It's a boy thing.

You know, someone is eventually going to discover that "straight-to-DVD" is no more of an insult to a movie than "straight-to-print" is to a novel.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
...what other alternative is there for novels?

All is well that ends in pizza.
eText? Books on tape? I dunno, I think his point was that it's not necessesarily a bad thing any longer.
However, there will always be a subset of really cheezy and bad films, and they will likely always be there to taint the pool...so maybe there should be a word or phrase we could use to differentiate good straight-to-video from bad STV.

Right now, direct-to-DVD means either that it's a kid's movie that's going to make a huge %age of its money there anyway, or that it's too crap to be on the big screen ever.
If movies are made simultaneously available, then, like DCJ says, you just find a new word.

Compassionately intolerant
It's a object of mathmatics too I think.
So many films are made every year and only a small percentage of them actually make it to the screen.
