serenity now!

From High-Def Digest:

Attention, browncoats: there’s no date yet, but Fox says it’s planning an extensive Blu-ray release for the TV cult phenomenon ‘Firefly.’

That’s according to TV Shows on DVD, which recently posted an update reporting that they’ve received confirmation from the studio that it’s currently in the early stages of preparing a major Blu-ray box set release of the short-lived but much-beloved Joss Whedon series.

The online rumor mill first started buzzing a couple of weeks ago, after ‘Firefly’ cast member Jewel Staite revealed to an Australian convention crowd that she’d recently been contacted by Fox in regards to contributing to a new box set release of the complete ‘Firefly’ series, though no format was specified.

When TV Shows on DVD approached the studio for comment on the rumors, they were reportedly told by a Fox rep that “news travels fast.” The rep went on to confirm that a ‘Firefly’ Blu-ray release is currently in the early development stages, though supplement details and a street date window were a long way off.

Running for only one season to generally low ratings, ‘Firefly’ nevertheless has gone on to gain one of the most devoted cult followings in the history of network television. When and if the show does arrive on Blu-ray, however, it won’t be the first next-gen appearance for the property.Universal previously release the big-screen ‘Firefly’ spin-off ‘Serenity’ on HD DVD back in early 2006 (though at press time the studio has not yet announced plans for a Blu-ray version).

SERENITY NOW!

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s iPhone post.

In college, I lived in a townhouse with three other guys. About twice a week, we’d all gather around the garbage disposal and play a little game called: Will It Eat It?

We got it to eat all kinds of things you wouldn’t believe. In fact, the only thing it was never able to digest was a whole lemon. No, really. We tried it. We thought our sink counter was going to explode.

The video below was sent to me by my cousin, Jarrod. Thanks, man, for allowing me to reminisce about those halcyon days of youth.
