Kaylee ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Mostly I agree with what my friend Rachel said on LJ about the show re. the fundamental flaw in the premise for a serial TV: Why I Would Not Have Greenlit Dollhouse
Wow. That's really well-said, and sums up most of my problems with the show.
(Although I also like the bluntness of Tycho from Penny Arcade's take on it: [link]
If you dislike Dollhouse, check this out: [link]
It is kind of brilliant. Edit: although I hadn't seen the last line.
Sorry Kevin, as much as I am bothered by Dollhouse, I do not find that brilliant. In fact I want to punch that guy's lights out.
Rather the opposite of brilliant here, too. I think ita should hire him as a tackle dummy, even if Dollhouse is never more than the Pretender with tits. Nothing like sour grapes mixed with vivid images of women being debased to bring out the Noel Coward in a guy.
I think I'm going to skip reading that one.
Was I not supposed to read that as a sarcastic twist on what the reviewer has seen so far?
That was the intent, yes. (To read it that way.)
Whoops, dropped keyboard...okay...one more once...
Yes, but I thought it aimed for the Onion and hit "My issues, let me show you them." I'm not sure that I could explain why. cause it's not like I'm Marge Simpson wishing for "satire that doesn't hurt,"
In fact I want to punch that guy's lights out.
Yeah, I'm confused. I didn't think it was especially funny, but I wasn't offended or angry. He was definitely being sarcastic.
They were sending up the show. And, uhm, Joss, albeit extremely meanly.
Hey, the Dollhouse DVR numbers are in and they don't suck. And the girl who plays Sierra listened to my podcast and now I'm terrified about what I said.
