More on Firefly and the DVD

Via WHEDONesque, Whedon's 'Firefly' Lights Up a Holiday DVD

Despite what Amazon and every release of the DVD stats say, Whedon still says the discs are in widescreen:

Also, the episodes are presented in widescreen, as they were originally filmed, and are arranged in order. "That was the most important thing to me," Whedon says. "Everything else is gravy, but there does seem to be quite a bit of gravy."

Though, I still wonder whether Fox would have screwed him again by putting the fullscreen versions on without him knowing until it was too late, and I'm wondering how old this comment by him is. Though, I suppose, if it hadn't been in widescreen, something would have gotten out complaining about it on all the fan boards, but I still can't know for sure until I actually get the DVD.

Plus, here are some choice quotes from Joss, explaining some of the Firefly "formula" (scare quotes around "formula" because Firefly was anything but):

"I'm very much of the 'make it dark, make it grim, make it tough,'" he says, "but then, for the love of God, tell a joke. Show some love. I can get by on that stuff. I like a hard world, but I like a hard world that molds good people and people with a sense of humor about the world they're in.

"Otherwise, it's unrelenting. People don't live like that.

"You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are. If there's any kind of fiction better than that, I don't know what it is."
