QUOTE Yes, fanlings, there is going to be a 2 disc 'Special Edition' released this summer. You know why? 'Cause the 1 disc 'Normal Edition' has sold so well -- so maybe a little self-back-patting is in order for you guys. Way to keep her in the air. It's too early to be sure what the Special Edition will contain, but here are some things we're going for: NEW KEY ART. Cast commentary -- assuming I can get a decent number of them in one room. They're very busy people, I'm happy to say. NEW KEY ART. The region 4 goodies, obviously. The Tam Sessions. KEY NEW ART. New Yub Yub, and Greedo shoots first. So does that kid outside the trading station, the pilot who destroyed Haven, and Kaylee. And Richard Dreyfuss goes INSIDE the mothership. KEW RAT YEN. An alternate ending, if you turn it off early. Proof of the existence of a benevolent higher power -- uh, I mean, new key art. Mice. And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly. But I'm pretty excited here. Back to work, -j. Take my Yub, Take Yub Yub, Yub Yub tak the Yub from Meee...dichlorians.... joss | March 02, 01:00 CET |

I'm going to buy this for sure if only to turn it off early for the alternent ending!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_mrgreen.gif) .. that freaking joss guy is hella'funny ... he should be in showbusiness ... we all need to really evangelize and buy ... all the new official merchandise available and now this new issue, me thinks folks that matter are watching this property and taking notes ... Lets give them a good whats'for ... if we cant squeeze a sequel or a return to TV out of them maybe we could at least get a High def 5.1/DTS Firefly set!!

I know it's highly doubtful that Joss will see this, but maybe someone close to him will, and will pass this along:
I have several friends who are either deaf or hearing impaired. They are Browncoats, and dearly love the Movie. Their one big complaint, though, about DVDs in general, is that there are No Subtitles or Close Captioning available in the Extras section. All the added documentaries, the gag reel, even the fruity Oaty Bar jingle.... they want to know what's being said. I think it would be a ground breaking move for Joss to include either subtitles or program in Close Captioning for the Extra Features. It'll be yet another Browncoat First! Thanks. |

People told me not to hope. They kept telling me that Serenity did poorly in theaters (it didn't, it just didn't do great). They kept telling me that it wasn't selling very well on DVD.
I knew it was. I checked Amazon and saw it in the top ten best sellers for 2006. I watched as Universal sold more and more merchandising licenses to interested parties (and continues to do so.) I observed new Browncoats popping up every day, and hundreds of conversions. Serenity did so well that they're making a special edition. This by no means guarantees a sequel, but GORRAM it if it doesn't bring us FRELLING closer to the possibility. I love my Browncoats. I love you, Joss. |

The region 4 2 disc set has subitles - so if you're gonna be getting all the extra stuff that came on the region 4 set you don't need to worry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_smile.gif) |

The current special features don't have captioning, so they would have to be added. I've seen the Australian Special features, and I don't recall subtitles for things like Joss' Q&A session. The Movie, sure. That's common practice. The rest? Not so much. I think this is a good cause, not just for the BDM but for Any DVD, including the FF Box set. Deaf and Hearing Impaired Folk are as entitled to know what's in the Special Bonus Features as the rest of us. I find it odd and unfair that they can't. The only reason I can think of for Studios doing this is expense. It can't really cost That much, but they save some bucks by skipping captioning on the extras. -And that's wrong. *Falls off of Soap Box... gracefully* |

CHECKED SEVERAL OF THE EXTRAS. SERENITY REGION 1 DVD: LANGUAGES SET TO ENGLISH SDH AND THEN PLAY THE EXTRAS. |

Serenity Region 1 DVD--commentary by Joss Whedon. I'm remember Joss saying a while ago that he had wanted to do a commentary with all the cast. So I think it will be a Joss and cast commentary. I'm hoping that we can see it two ways...one the film with their voices...two Joss and cast on film watching the movie. |

My deepest apologies to All.... tested it myself... There are subtitles in the dvd extras for Serenity... But not for the Easter Egg. So I apologize for my mistake, but Still hope that Joss adds captioning to the Easter Egg. Thanks to Anonymous1 for straightening me out about that. I'm not sure, but my deaf friends may have been referring to the Firefly Box set, because I know there's no way to activate subtitles for the extras there. If we ever get a special edition of That, well.... along with an Apology from Fox, subtitles in the extras would be nice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_biggrin.gif) |

I don't want a second disc, I want a second MOVIE. Of course I'll buy the second disc as my Browncoat duty (and fix), but it had better LEAD to a second movie (or TV show/miniseries, direct to DVD, whatever)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_evil.gif)
But YAY! anyway (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon_wink.gif) |
