       SO GLAD someone else is finally making a stink about this:
       Article on Film School Rejects: Why Do Fans Want Crappy Movies
       Of Their Favourite TV Shows?

       The thrust of the article, and it's quick and well-worth
       reading, is
       [quote]But the bigger issue is that fans need to remove their
       thumbs from their mouths and learn how to let go. These days,
       nearly every show from Friends to Friday Night Lights has fans
       clamoring for a post-TV movie. But why risk corrupting your
       memories of enjoying a show the first time around with an
       attempt at recapturing lightning in a bottle?[/quote]

       Well this really applies only to shows that 'ran its course' and
       had a proper send off. But shows like Firefly and the upcoming
       Veronica Mars demanded that the series continue onward with
       movies because of the non-resolution to the series. It's a way
       to properly wrap up the series and if a movie is the only way to
       get it done, then so be it. Now take my money and keep the
       movies coming!

       Can't and won't read the article due to the Spoiler Alerts and
       there are some series that I need to wrap up first and won't
       risk by reading it.
