Joss Whedon posts to Whedonesque.com

TV- and filmmaker and creator of the Buffy, Angel and Firefly series Joss Whedon posts to our site, Whedonesque.com:

Honestly, I come here so often it’s embarrassing. But this is the source. I get to find out what my actors and writers are up to, what movies I’m directing… it’s excellent! See, I’ve secretly been kind of a fan of me for some time now. I’ve seen everything I’ve ever done. I’d love to meet me, but I’d probably just stare and not be able to say anything witty or anything.

But also:

So many people are acting like there’s little difference between Kerry and Bush and that is not the case. If you’re for Bush I doubt I can sway you but if you’re one of those people grumbling about politicians all being the same I’m begging you to look hard at the facts and at the smirking face of the man who is doing more damage to this country than any president in my lifetime. We cannot let apathy decide our fate. I’m sounding all soapbox-y but I am truly afraid for our economic infrastucture, our dwindling natural reserves and most of all our place in the world. We need to act.

Whedonesque.com is a relatively new site to the Buffyverse, unlike places like The Bronze where Joss and the other Mutant Enemy writers generally post. Which is why we’re quite chuffed.

Watching the watchers

It’s Angel finale night and the end of the Buffyverse on TV. I woke up at 3AM to join our site’s chatbox at Flickr.

Stupid WB.

Post finale coda: There’s more and it’s got spoilers in it, so lasciate omni speranze voi ch’entrate, and all that jazz:

Ignorance will be angelic bliss

In an effort to fully enjoy what may well be the last few hours of the Buffyverse, I’m going spoiler free for Angel. (Sorry, Simon, you’re on your own at the Wh’esque.) I only vaguely knew the plot of last night’s funny and creepy ‘Smile Time’ (S5x14, hey wanna see some pretty pics?), which made it just so much more… well, funny. And creepy. The teaser alone had me gasping.

In other TV commentary, a big big ‘heeeee’ for the poster at TWOP who coined ‘Ambercrombie and Bitch’ for this season’s May/December ‘ship between The O.C.’s Luke and Auntie Julie. And does anyone really care about what happens to Ryan and Melissa? I think not. It’s all about the Cohens.

And also: bye bye Oliver. Good riddance.
