We all know that Firefly was a show killed before its time and that the Serenity movie never got its due either.

The original DVD version of Serenity was available a few months after the initial release but it looks like Joss Whedon still has a few tricks up his sleeve. On August 21st a special collector’s edition dvd is set for release. The special is a two disk set that apparently includes all-new bonus content and never-seen-before footage! With over 60 minutes of all-new special features and special collectible packaging.

The full bonus material listing is:

BONUS MATERIALSDeleted Scenes with Commentary by Director Joss Whedon; Extended Scenes; Outtakes; Take a Walk on Serenity; The Green Clan; Joss Whedon Intro; We’ll Have a Fruity Oaty Good Time!; Feature Commentary with Director Joss Whedon and Cast Members Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau and Ron Glass; Feature Commentary with Director Joss Whedon; A Filmmaker’s Journey; Future History – The Story of Earth That Was; Re-lighting the Firefly; What’s In a Firefly?; Session 416; Sci-Fi Inside: Serenity

Sounds impressive to me..and hey it’s probably the only ‘new’ firefly stuff we’re likely to see for a while. TFAW’s got a reasonable price on pre-order for this.

How many quarters have I sunk into a machine just like this one? I wish i knew…

In another installment of neat Star Wars stuff on eBay – this week we’ve found a Star Wars Trilogy Deluxe Arcade unit in perfect working order according to the seller.

This isn’t the original arcade game but the reworked one that came out in 1998 where you get to play all the movies. I always got stuck in the lightsaber battle with Vader (though i think it was cursed with a sticky controller in the arcades i visited).

If you’ve got the $$ and the space – or hey if you want to make some small money for your local retail establishment this might be the auction for you.

According to the seller, “Original cost was over $8,000 new. Buy it here for a fraction of that cost! It has steadily earned over $100 a week in my location.”

The seller has it listed for $3,000 or Best offer – so far he’s got one offer that he rejected.
Take a look for yourself on the eBay auction page

Serenity Trounces Star Wars ?! April 3, 2007

There is no question that Firefly and the Serenity movie are great works of pop SciFi.

BUT..are they better than Star Wars?

Apparently that’s what readers of SFX voted in a recent poll.

At first I thought the poll was some kind of April fools joke..turns out it’s just SFX that is the fool.

Star Wars is the greatest SciFi enterprise of all time period. While others can be extremely good nothing yet produced in the history of the planet earth is better. PERIOD. Nuff Said.

Who would win in a fight between Captain Mal (Firefly) vs. Caprica Six (Battlestar Galactica)?
Apparently the two of them dated…Nathon Fillion talks all about it in this YouTube vid from WonderCon 2007.
