It's probably mine and many other peoples least favourite episode.

I'm sure the reviews and everything, and hopefully a golden globe nomination
for Writing and Effects for Joss (if not an oscar) will help universal
commission another movie...if it doesn't I'm sure the dvd sales will. I
dont doubt this film will make more on dvd than it did at the theatres and
It'll make back it's $40million in US, UK and Australian makets alone I
think....and I'd imagine it'll do good business in Asia too.

I've just saw it for the first time...got out the theatre about an hour agao
and I loved it...a few shocking moments and one i just can't fathom the
reason for and the rest of the movie was absolutly amazing, acting, effects,
dialogue was flawless. Absolutly excelent movie...will be pre-ordering the
dvd as soon as it's annouced!
