Joss Whedon
 

here he is.





nice,uh?
well,not really.
but i am a huge Buffy fan,i love serenity/firefly,etc.
i know that some fellow boarders are whedon's fans too (everyneurotic,richard pryor on fire,acousticrock87,lifedistortion...well,actually they posted about whedon-related-girls in the "celebrity you are attracted to/appreciate" thread,so maybe they like better whedon's casting managers then his series..ha ha,kidding).i love his style the passion he puts in everything he writes/directs....so i started this thread just to discuss his work in general,post images,comments,etc.
if you post something here you'll get a free shirt like this:

I've never seen a single episode of Buffy.

Do I still get a t-shirt?

Was this the guy who created Buffy? Are we talking about Buffy The Vampire Slayer?

That's the one. I think !@#$%! has a thing for him as well.

Ok, I think a few episodes were really funny... :)

buffy was fun..
i even watch the endless reruns when i get the chance..
dry, sarcastic humor with growing pains..
overblown "cool" attitude - bordering on camp..
strong female characters, sexual deviance and tongue in cheek violence..
what more could i ask for?

whedon is great..
i never saw firefly or serenity by the way.. but looking forward to the chance..

I hear it's worth a view, but I don't think it's on here anymore, unless it's in syndication at some hour that I'm not aware of. Alas, I have missed my chance.

right on candymoan,you got it right...
truncy (may i call you truncy?...),i'll tell you my story.
ha ha.i watched snippets of buffy episodes,and i thought it was utterly crappy...then i catched some reruns and i watched entire episodes,and guess what?i loved it...you need to watch more than a few minutes to get into the characters and you will likely end up loving them (well,not all of them,but at least some...probably the ones who's way of thinking resembles to yours/someone you know)

truncated,
i'd advise to get a season's dvd.. the first season suffers from a low budget and poor production because of it..
perhaps you can find it second hand..

one word of advice though, try to enjoy it with like minded friends..

the best reason to watch buffy is sarah michelle gellar.
I think she's one of the hottest tvstars, I loved her when I was 15-16 when I used to watch the first series of buffy.
I hated the obsession with angel,(edit:...erased spoilers here in respect of those who believe in suspence and surprise...)but later I liked it.

p.s. don't let the "california-school-teen.soap opera" setting mislead you,it's even more funny thinking where they are when something odd happens...
oh candymoan,you should definitely check out serenity/firefly (the movie was released here in italy last year,it's veeeeeeeeery good,pure whedon style dialogues and characters,obviously..if you like buffy you'll love it too)

PAO-LINO,edit out the spoilers,you fool (^___^)!!!

I think you can actually rent Buffy on DVD.

What is Serenity/Firefly?

nicfit, at least let me give three key-words (so people can get curious)
gate of hell
lesbian witch
blood withdrawal

firefly was a science fiction-far west style tv show that whedon created.it got cancelled after one season (i don't know if it was a full season,but it's like 15 episodes).fans started to create sites/blogs to support this show and eventually thanks to fans petitions etc. whedon signed a contract to write/direct a movie based on firefly characters,that film is Serenity.i still have to watch the tv show,but the movie is great.i think you should find it in stores/video rentals...it's worth watching.pure whedon style,that is "classic with a twist" imo.sample = science fiction with spaceships and revolvers?
my new signature is taken from serenity...
pao-lino ,i was kinda kidding,considering that buffy is 7 seasons long a few hints are allowed,since if someone likes this show will definitely see all of the episodes (a whopping total of 144...i think)

We dislike Buffy quite abit.

But we like Firefly quite a lot.

i'm a dedicated buffy & angel fan, people might be interested to know that whedon is working on a comic book that is going to be the equivalent to an 8th season of buffy.
i've never seen firefly, i saw the serenity movie, and it was ok, but without having seen firelfly it didn't mean a whole lot.
whedon is writing x-men comics at the moment, he's done about 14 issue of Astonishing X-Men, it's quite good, but seems better than it is because most X-Men comics are terrible these days.
He's directing the Wonder Woman film too.

i didn't know about that sort of 8th season comic,thanks for the info.
i really enjoyed serenity,even though i did not see firefly...dialogues are amazingly funny imo..."define interesting...."ha ha,only who saw the film can get this...

damn straight i was really into buffy when i was in high school, i was also into vampires at the time so it might help. i loved the fucking show, the plot was great, it was funny, had hot girls, the metaphors ranged from really deep and intriguing to very spot on and sorta lazy, but when that was the case, the episode was usually funnier than the norm. i even have my buffy t-shirt.

i haven't seen firefly or serenity, never got here.

i'm kinda burnt out on buffy, ever since reruns are usually from the first and last seasons and those are the ones i've watched the most.

i always thought mr whedon was a tremendous writer and director.

i didn't know he was working on x-men comics, i did know he submitted a scripted for the first x-men movie, wasn't selected but worked on the final version as a consultant or something; some of his jokes got into the movie.

but i must clarify something: i put eliza dushku because, beyond faith, beyond buffy and beyond everything, she is the perfect woman, physically. she is the most beautiful girl in the world.

Eh....Buffy is just about tolerable but the 'hip' dialogue gets on my tits after a while. And Serenity was a massive, massive heap of shit.
