okay, I went there but... couldn't find the poll. However there was an interview with Loni Peristere there which, at the risk of this having already been posted (it IS a couple of days old, apparently), went like this:

Serenity Might Fly Again?

Loni Peristere, visual-effects supervisor for the SF movie Serenity, told SCI FI Wire that there's hope for future flights of the cast and crew of the movie, which just came out on DVD. Director Joss Whedon—who also created the canceled Fox TV show Firefly, on which the movie is based—expected that the movie might draw the low numbers it did in its theatrical release, Peristere said in an interview. But he added that the movie's sales on DVD, which came out on Dec. 20, are running neck-and-neck with the hit comedy Wedding Crashers, which bodes well for a possible Serenity sequel.

"We kind of expected this from our audience," Peristere said. "We did so well on [Amazon.com] with the Firefly box set and the performance of that helped us get the movie made. We wish the audience would get up and go to the theater, but it shows that they like to keep coming back and revisiting the world Joss created." Serenity made $25 million at the domestic box office after it was released Sept. 30.

Whedon and his crew are waiting to see how well the DVD numbers go before proceeding with a Serenity sequel, Peristere said. "We really hope to return to this work," he said. "We love the characters. It's fun storytelling, and we all love using our talents. ... It all depends on Joss. He's not giving up on the characters. He had incredible writers who had a million stories to tell, and we're all just hanging out and seeing what the world has to give us, and given the opportunity we'll make more."

In the meantime, fans of both show and movie can enjoy the DVD's various extras, which include an Easter egg: a featurette about the making of the Fruity Oaty Bar commercial that appears in the film. "In the main menu, if you play around with the buttons you'll find a featurette of the Fruity Oaty Bar," Peristere revealed. (From the main menu highlight "play," then press left, which will highlight a marker on the right side of the menu; press enter to see the featurette.) "It's all a lot of fun," he said.

hmmm... Fruity... Oaty... Bars... will turn you into "a stupid, inbred stack of meat."

Dude,
Thats way too hard of a choice. I dont care about wonderwoman but Serenity vs. Spike. How can I go against Spike, and how can I go against the Captain. I GOT IT!!!! Spikes a vampire that lives forever right, So Serenity stops for a second to get gas and look who hitches a ride........SPIKE!!!!

Its too perfect! But as far as the poll goes I cant decide between the two. But Spike in space, that would be somethin to see.

If you can't see it on the right hand side of the page, you may need the latest version of Macromedia Shockwave.

Ahh... that explains a lot; I can't upgrade to that yet as my OS is too old & I've gotta do a hardware upgrade to update to the OS that WILL let me do it. Thanks for the explanation

and now "my friends think I'm a stupid, inbred stack of meat"

Just voted myself and nearly 10,000 people cared enough to vote "more Serenity"... this has to be a good sign. It's also a bad sign that only 7% want WonderWoman. Joss may be wasting his talents there.

No contest. Nothing compares to Firefly/Serenity.
NOTHING.

And, there are several companies that produce films that are strictly for the dvd market, no theatre. Why couldn't Serenity films fall into that category? We'd keep buying em.

I don't think of myself as a lion....
Does that seem right to you?

Well... speaking as a filmmaker, there's sort of a stigma attached to this method... YOU know... "Ummm... I'm raising millions of dollars to get this movie made yet... I can't get enough of my fans to come and make a theatrical run profitable so... well, I've gotta make the investors' money/confidence back SOMEhow..." ...while the filmmaker's friends are going " LOser ".

That's how I'D feel about it... no offense meant to all the filmmakers who DO make a direct-to-DVD living

Hawk your B-movie

at the booths at AFM "and all your friends will think you're a stupid, inbred stack of meat."
