An update full of links! First, a few Whedon things:

An interview where Joss goes on at length about Dollhouse. One quote makes me worried that the show won't be as interesting as I'd hoped, since the darkness is what I'm really interested to see them explore (and hopefully they'll have time to do that, but you never know with this industry ( Read more... )

Linus is NOT WindowsSo very valid and interesting points made in that post (especially about user friendliness). Despite the slight video issue I'm still having and tiny things I haven't figured out yet, I am satisfied of my switch to Ubuntu. It's maybe a little more code-oriented than I'd like it to be, but that's mostly because I'm still ( Read more... )

Hearing Joss say "sexuality is a spectrum; very few of us are just at one end or the other" in this video kind of just made my night. :D Not a whole lot of presumably straight guys would say that.

In unrelated news, went to see Hallam Foe tonight and that was a really good movie. Jamie Bell is really a great actor.

From "Buffy the Vampire Dater", yet another article to be found in The Psychology of Joss Whedon ( Read more... )

I'm reading The Psychology of Joss Whedon; some articles are interesting but I'm finding most of them pretty weak, theoritically speaking - just full of shortcuts and assumptions. I think some of that at least has got to do with limited article length, it's really too bad. Anyway, a bit that really stopped me last night:

"Through Buffy, Joss ( Read more... )

The most complete Paley fest report I've read. There's a LOT of awesome in there, and some nostalgia like Buffy always brings. Interestingly enough, while I absolutely loved reading this, it doesn't quite make me swell with undying love like the BDHs do. They're just something about the Firefly guys.

Speaking of, metaquotes had an hilarious ( Read more... )

iF Magazine has an article about ME Day which gives snippets of some of the ME peeps on the strike.

Comparing Republican candidates to Buffy villains and for some, it's scarily appropriate.

The studio United Artists has struck a deal with the WGA. That's huge, and might encourage other studios to cut reasonable side deal.

Watch a short video and switch to green power (in French) : rejoignez la révolution énergétique.

Then go read this really great Joss Whedon interview: careful, it has spoilers for the S8 Buffy comics (up to issue 4). He talks a lot about his involvement with Equality Now, which is amazing ( Read more... )

To steer away from French politics a little...

What makes "Buffy" a gay icon?Interesting article, and it doesn't just mention Willow, thank goodness. There are a few stereotypes and sentences in there that make me cringe a little bit, though ( Read more... )

I've clearly decided to spam my F-list these days. It's a definite sign I'm back in school.

So switching from environmentalist mode to slash mode. littlegothsin apparently has never seen that video and it's one of the most hilarious fanvids ever made, so I figured it was worth posting in case anyone else has missed it before!

This is my West Hollywood ( Read more... )
