Jossverse 1: Emotional Resonance & Rocket Launchers
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

Huh. Joss should have finger marks on his face from the backhanded compliments of that piece.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
After reading that article, I sorta feel like I did in junior high back when it wasn't "cool" to be nerdy. (Thankfully, by high school I didn't care about being cool--whatever that really means...)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wow. That was the jackassiest article I've read (that had nothing to do with politics, anyhow) in a very, very, very, very long time.
Fortunately, one suspects that Whedon's most devoted acolytes -- those who erect websites to him and inspired a session at Comic-Con actually titled "Bram Stoker: The Joss Whedon of His Day?" -- might have fewer social distractions than most of their peers.
I sincerely would like you to fuck right off, Variety.

Especially seeing as how Joss' fans gave you a SHITLOAD of money buying ads trying to keep Serenity on the air.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
What exactly did geeks and/or Whedonites DO to that writer?

Always Anti-fascist!
Wow, that's like, Piven press.(Seriously, a lot of times I read articles about Jeremy Piven as well and think "Wow, feature writer, at what point did this actor fuck your sister and never call again?" Difference being, he might have, and either way, has a way of bringing it on himself in a way that I can't see that Joss Whedon would.) But of course I'm biased toward both subjects so I can't say I'm objective.

Whedon's fanbase is geeky, and devoted, and his shows are not mainstream hits. I'd gotten the impression that the fandom was sort of defiantly proud of all these things.

Snidely condescended to in print? Not so much.
