The Serenity movie wasn't a billion dollar hit, but it was a very good movie with hefty returns a the box office and on DVD.<BR/><BR/>And moderate franchises? Given that both shows still remain among the most talked about TV ever, are continuing in books and comics, and are both the center of regular convention meets, I'd bet any TV/film writer would jump at the chance for such success.<BR/><BR/>Don't be dissin' Whedon on <I>this</I> page!!Joe Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326800254526438870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-1171233543636798052007-02-11T17:39:00.000-05:002007-02-11T17:39:00.000-05:00btw, the failed series was firefly. buffy and ange...btw, the failed series was firefly. buffy and angel were the two moderate franchises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15078815.post-1170646440049887332007-02-04T22:34:00.000-05:002007-02-04T22:34:00.000-05:00Well, that bites.

The chances of the Wonder Woman movie being any good just went way down, which is a damned shame. <BR/>Whether the entire notion is out of date remains to be seen. Personally, I think heroes are always in fashion, regardless of their choice in undies, but that's just me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
