"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Phew.
But, Whedon added, "I am totally prepared to go back to TV. Not 24-seven, as I did with the first years of Buffy. But now I've learned about surrounding yourself with the right people and delegating so that I can actually run a show without ruining my life. And TV is, you know, … a medium that I love in a very different way than I love movies. The things that I can't do in [a] movie are things that I mourn: the smaller moments. The … protracted interactions. The things that make TV really fascinating. Watching characters change over the years. You know, I've waited my whole life to make movies, but movies don't do that. … You either write novels that are way too long, or you make TV if you want to do that. And … I can't write novels that are long."
Because...yeah, I'd rather have Joss doing TV.

Not that it's seriously being considered, yet, but how cool would it be if Joss wrote and directed X3?

And I am also happy to hear that he hasn't completely given up on tv.

Sweet, the one solution that would make the Halle problem just evaporate like morning dew in the sun. And just imagine Stewart and McKellen speaking Joss' dialogue under his direction.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
It would be lovely - although I'd rather he did a Harry Potter movie - by film 6 they'll be the right age and book 6 badly needs a script doctor...

So I watched Him and Conversations With Dead People last night. Him is as gorgeously funny as I remember - the second half of slapstick insanity is of course genius, but the early build is such a sweet parody of the teen films that Buffy comes from. Oddly, like Selfless, CWDP was a letdown - it felt too static and talky, and the rhythm of cutting between characters was off. Looking back I'm glad Amber B didn't return, because that level of emotion would have unbalanced the episode. Shame they could't get the ubiquitous Eric Balfour to talk to Xander, although it might have taken some fast talking; "yeah, you get older in heaven, dude!".

Or have him in vamp face the whole time.
Xander being left out of that episode is yet another potential storyline that they never followed up on.

What is even happening?

Wouldn't he be in Hell?
