I was talking with Nick today and we were talkin about how we'd react if we got to meet our 'heros'. Here's how I imagine a meeting with Joss if I was actually gutsy enough and not too star-struck
( Read more... )
hm...if I met Joss...what was that line that Willow had about talking to boys?
"I usually can make a few vowel sounds, then I have to go away."
Then, like Eddie Izzard's sketch about flirting, I'd scream as I ran, "I LOVE YOU!"
That or I'd do something stupid like attempt to name drop since one of my college professors when to school with him (literally has a picture of him and Joss at a party)
It just occurred to me that you're talking about Eddie Izzard and Joss Whedon at the same time. I think they have very similar senses of humour, or at least tell some of the same type of jokes.
In "Unrepeatable," listen to how Eddie says, "They get paid HUGE wodges of cash...in brown bags....to subtlely adjust our minds," and tell me that doesn't sound a bit like the way Joss talks, sometimes. It's the "brown bags," thing, mostly.
Although, you'd have to have heard his DVD commentaries to get the full concept.

there is no doubt in my mind that Joss is an Izzard fan. He just has to be, they operate on that same wavelength. Someone needs to find out, because I deal Eddie Izzard tapes like other people deal crack. Used to carry a copy of "Dress to Kill" with me and just push it on people at school "try it, you'll like it...trust me."
"wodges", what a great word. I haven't watched "Unrepeatable" in ages...hm...maybe tonight...

Oh, I'm so the Izzard pimp.
I've got people begging me to burn some MP3's for them. I loaned a DVD of DTK out four months ago, and the person hasn't stopped watching it since.
And I show Eddie to anyone who can take him.
Sadly, many of my friends are extremely uncomfortable with swearing, which I can kind of understand, except the one person who actually asked me to switch him off is a teacher at my old high school, where I did, in fact, learn to swear like a sailor.
Or, you'd try to say, "Joss, you're an amazing writer, and I'd love to someday pick your brain on the existential nature of the vampire slayer," and end up saying, "Hello, Sue! I've got legs."

But what do I know about it?
