So I'm sitting here watching reruns of Friends on TBS, and who's playing the divorce lawyer for Ross & Rachel? None other than Shepherd Book himself, Ron Glass! Awww, he's all gravelly-voiced and trying to make Ross get therapy. Always with the advice, Shepherd.
Needless to say, I'm kind of down about Serenity coming in at ninth place at the box office this past weekend. What the hell, America? You go see movies like Flightplan for three weeks in a row, but you're not willing to give a fun movie like Serenity a chance? I've seen it four times already, people. I've done my part! It's your turn already. ...I wanted my sequel, dammit.

If they do a smaller story without as many space battles (and less actors to pay), it could technically be done. And as someone else said, if Joss makes enough cash for the studio with Wonder Woman, he'll have a lot more pull to get another Firefly-verse movie made. That said, I won't be holding my breath.

And seeing as how that's where Hollywood really seems to be making a lot of money these days, it might be a good thing. But still, it is disheartening that people aren't giving this a chance to really break out.
