Oh, of course I figured, but it was nice to get confirmation.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I wonder if he'll come back to TV, at this point.
I'm thinking that for network TV he'd still be perceived as a cult director. Although that shouldn't prevent him from getting a premium cable show, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shouldn't a cult director with a profitable franchise (fingers crossed) in his pocket not be so culty anymore? Genre, sure, but not cult.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, does it look like this is it for Joss?
I think so.
How do you think this will affect his future projects--both his choices and his funding?
He should be able to alternate Big Bucks Tentpole Movies with smaller fare, tossing in Shakespeare-In-My-Backyard movies with periodic forays into Dr. Horrible webseries.
Ultimately, HBO gives him a deal and does TV again. I hope.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One thing that Joss has shown first with Serenity (which he got funded by showing how cheaply he could make it and guarantee a profit for the backers), then with Dr. Horrible then with his backyard Shakespeare is that he can get top talent to work for cheap, produce something cool and still get excellent production values.
I think he's been really smart about creating alternative production approaches that are not as dependent on big Hollywood funding.
And now that he's going to have a movie that will probably gross $800 million, he'll show that he can do it in the traditional ways too.
Mostly though I want him to create an HBO series starring Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof with Alan Tudyk and Christina Hendricks. That's all.

Seriously, LeN. I was watching on my phone at my desk, and I gasped out loud at that mid-air grab. Way cool.
