"Serenity" DVD commercials on TV

[mojo1701]

Is it just me, or have there been more commercials for the DVD version "Serenity" as opposed to the cinema release?

I've also noticed about three different versions of the commercials.

Do they actually talk about the movie or do they fall into the trap of just gushing about how great Joss Wheadon is, like the cinema trailers and ads seemed to do.

That DVD is going to look so good on the shelf next to my Firefly box set.

No idea, though it may be just you. I saw a LOT of Serenity commercials leading up to the movie, but can't say as I've seen a single one for the DVD release. However, it was also a case of target marketing. I saw it during Lost, for example, which is currently in reruns. I think they were specifically targetting certain audiences...I'm not sure if they're doing so now.

They may be pushing harder, since the DVD sales may make more than the actual ticket sales. Given the success of the Firefly box-set, that's not that unlikely.

Nope. I saw a ton of commercials for the movie, but haven't seen one yet for the DVD.

Mine is already sitting there.

My mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas, and I told her an external DVD burner, and "Serenity" on DVD.

She called me from Sam's Club this afternoon (she was going to get it at Future Shop, which is considerably closer, considering that Sam's Club is in Cambridge) to ask me if I wanted Wide or Fullscreen.

And ya said Widescreen, right?

If you were true fans, you'd get both.

(Joke! Though now that I think about it, it would help chances of more of it in the future, a la Family Guy)
