Nicholas Brendon Sings “Tainted Love”

Elijah — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:04:49 +0000

This is Nicholas Brendon at Supanova 2007 in Sydney singing "Tainted Love,"

Yep. It is very dated. But Mr. Brendon seems to be a crowd pleaser around here (judging by the traffic), and as I’ve already demonstrated with the recent Eliza vid that I’m shameless…

Video of Eliza Dushku, Er, Strutting Her Stuff

Here’s a short video of Eliza Dushku strutting her stuff. Now that’s entertainment, right guys?, right?, er, not that this sort of thing is appropriate on a site dedicated to Buffy and semi-dedicated to female empowerment, but, er, (did I say semi-dedicated?), er, y’know, a little variety here and there can’t hurt. Right?

Joss Whedon – On Dollhouse

Elijah — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:00:36 +0000

A few interesting comments from Joss Whedon about Dollhouse — something about what he’s trying to accomplish, a little bit about how he feels about the characters’ mixed motivations, and so forth. I guess, what occurred to me was, What are our more private dreams really made of?, and Who and what are we willing to compromise to fulfill them?

Joss at Comic-Con 2009

Well, I won’t be making it to Comic-Con this year, but for those who will, it’s almost here! Watch out San Diego!

Anyhow, I understand well over 125,000 are expected this year. Awesome. But far more important, Joss Whedon, et al, are slated to play a major role in the festivities. Anybody want to get an exclusive video of Joss for me? Or give me an exclusive report? I’ll post it right here. I may even be able to pay you something.

But probably not. Money? For money?! What are you thinking? You should just do it in the spirit of fandom, y’know? It’s not like you or your kids need to buy more comics or anything, right?

Among various and sundry other events that include Whedon sometime associates (in one sense or another) like Georges Jeanty, Juliet Landau, Brian Lynch, Peter David, Morena Baccarin, Jed and Zack Whedon, etc., a special screening of the Dollhouse never-before-seen episode Epitaph One is scheduled, followed by a Q&A with Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku, as well as a Q&A session with Joss Whedon about his upcoming projects with Dark Horse Comics and a special signing event, Dark Horse Presents: Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (a ticketed event; see Dark Horse for details).

Also scheduled, an audience participation screening of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s musical episode Once More With Feeling is scheduled. It’s a major event. I understand the con will be closed with it. Whoa.

So . . . this is truly the age of Joss, but we all already knew that, didn’t we?

Write Environment – Interview with Joss Whedon (excerpt)

Elijah — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 04:44:52 +0000

Joss Whedon Writer/Director Joss Whedon is one of the most prolific figures in television, but it wasnt always that way. He started his career as a staff writer for the sitcom, Rosanne. From there he moved onto feature films, where he worked for several years as a script doctor, on films such as Speed and Toy Story. Tired of seeing his visions rewritten, Whedon eventually returned to television, bringing with him an adaptation of his first feature film, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In this candid interview, Joss talks openly about the early days of his career, his showbiz family, his legion of fans, and the trials and tribulations of taking a cult TV hit to the big screen.

Would have to disagree though, just a bit, about Scully in The X-Files. She grew a little. It just took a long, long time.

Dollhouse, congrats to Joss and Eliza

Elijah — Tue, 26 May 2009 03:54:24 +0000

Well, this time just a very short post: This is last week’s news, so by now I assume most have heard that FOX is bringing back Dollhouse, which stars Eliza Dushku (who played Faith in Buffy), and was created by our favorite, critically acclaimed TV writer, Joss Whedon, the creative genius behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, of course. I’m not convinced Dollhouse will ever measure up to Buffy, but it is an interesting show, and unless I’m terribly mistaken, it seems destined to address some of the same themes, e.g., nontraditional family/emotional relationships (likely to figure in to a more lengthy blog post sometime soon), feminism, etc.

If Dollhouse can grow its audience, it could mean every new television show of the future might not have to start and finish the first season with a ratings bang. Why, the writers and actors might even be given a chance to develop the characters and storylines! How odd would that be? Just imagine with me for a moment, won’t you . . . ?

Just wanted to acknowledge this. Congrats to Joss and Eliza.
