And SerenityStuff will give away a special edition of the new Special Edition Serenity DVD coming out next week to someone they randomly draw who blogs about it...

I bring you...

Twenty-Five Reasons You Should Buy the Serenity Collector's Edition DVD:

Well, wait. I'm not going to C&P all 25 reasons here. There's a link, you can click it. But I'll post highlights.

• More stuff you don’t need an all-regions DVD player to see. With this 2-disc set you’ll finally get the features that Europe and Australia got already (You don’t get the long Q&A Joss did in Australia, but you can catch that on Youtube). First up: The Extended Scenes (6 min. 45 sec.). Longer versions of some of the scenes in the movie, including more Mal and Inara.
  
• Better cover art. Way, way better cover art. It’s not 11th Hour quality, but few things in this world are and this is much classier. Not a llama in sight.
  
• The Session 416 videos! River’s scary-cool progression through the Academy. I loved seeing ‘em online but I can’t wait to see ‘em on a bigger screen.
  
• Brand. New. Cast. Commentary. Joss, Nathan Fillion, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, and Ron Glass talking about our favorite movie. Face it, this is a good enough reason all by itself.

And here's a list of what's new and what's not on the Collector's Edition, in case you're still waffling.

So, there. Go forth and buy this on the 21st.

In other Whedon-type news, the third issue of Spike: Shadow Puppets is coming out tomorrow...and Dark Horse issued a three-piece PVC set of Mal, Jayne, and River as well. Ouch, my wallet.

I was on the fence about the DVD while leaning more towards buying it, but I think I'm officially sold. The cover art alone is making me drool.

It's shiny, ain't it? I want the cast commentary, myself. And the River Tam Sessions--which I have on my puter, but it's not the same.
