exsequarEveryone, PLEASE, for the love of all things shiny, SIGN THIS PETITION:
http://new.petitiononline.com/SerenDVD/petition.html
If you haven't seen the cover for the Serenity DVD, look here: http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&s=1&c=8055&n=1&burl= It's absolutely HIDEOUS, and does the movie NO justice at all! I am very, very saddened by this. Serenity is a gorgeous, brilliant, original film and deserves to be treated as such.]
ETA: It surprises me that some people actually like this cover, so I'll explain why I am so abhorred by it.
1) River looks creepy as fuck. This is RIVER! River, the sweet-hearted little girl who's confused and afraid and lost, who loves her big brother more than anything, whose laugh tinkles merrily whenever she's sane enough to be happy - and she looks like a crazy monster on the cover. Sure, she kicks some ass, but that's River being controlled. It doesn't show the depth of the character.
2) Mal and Zoe look like emotionless robots just holding guns. Whereas Mal is a deep, complex character who also has a sharp sense of humor - he's also the main character, so I feel he should have been featured more prominently.
3) I'd like to see more of the cast on there.
4) That picture of the swarming mob at the bottom? NOT FROM THE MOVIE. Where the hell is it from? It doesn't represent a scene from the movie nor a general feel. SO stupid.
5) The Serenity logo! I love the rich, warm colors of the one on the ship, with the chinese figures. But no, they have to butcher it and make it cold and violent. That is NOT what this movie is about!
6) I'd like to see Serenity herself on the cover as well.
7) Grrr. ARGH.

Angry mob of zombies? Check
People shooting guns and looking all macho? Check
Sex? Check
The word Ultimate? Check
Its like somebody went down a list of things that supposedly sell and made sure it got on the cover.
But yeah, its weird that River takes up so much room.

Thats hilarious. Maybe its on a deleted scene or blooper reel somewhere.
