Wow, that looks cool, but it kind of also looks like a made-for-TV movie at points.

Oh this movie is so going to rock. I can't wait to see it. I was so bummed (and angry) when they cancelled the show, but I am thrilled that Whedon stuck to his guns and managed to make it into a movie.

I thought it happened because DVD sales were so high.  I don't care why it happened, just that it did. Oh, I want to jump up and down with joy, but if this is rated R, I am going to be very grumpy.
If I had any clue, would I be here?

Since Whedon isn't confined to the small screen anymore, it is hard to say exactly what this will be like.

I kind of worry (something I do too much of), that Whedon's work just won't transfer to the big screen, especially since most of his plots tend to be over-arching season long things. Plus, I wonder what he will do with a bigger budget and fewer restrictions.

Yes, I will be a little miffed if this comes out rated-R.
