Quote:Originally posted by UnregisteredCompanion: Ok, I think we can pretty much agree that Firefly was one of the best shows EVER. And I am sure most of us liked Serenity, at least to a certain extent, or we wouldn't be here...correct? We have told our friends and family about the movie, bought the DVD's etc...but box office numbers are low. Why? Here is my theory. We are freaks. I don't mean that in a bad way, but think about it. Our tastes do not follow the main stream, our imaginations seem to be more highly developed, we won't settle for same-old-same-old. Creativity, invention, and thought MUST be in our entertainment fare. And there just aren't enough of us. Look at all those terrible movies that have made 100-200 million dollars. Hitch? Deep Impact? Crocodile Dundee II? Total CRAP! Yet people went in droves to these movies. There are a lot of people who wouldn't know good if it bit them in their ass. The people who recognize good character development and a great story line are rare. There aren't nearly enough of us to generate the numbers the Hollywood execs want to see. I guess we are basically humped. ~~~~~ "Funny and sexy. You have no idea. And you never will."
