I will grant that Joss Whedon is a particularly skilled Producer/Executive Producer/Story Consultant. He has great ideas. I've just never personally experienced a situation where I'm aware he was directing that resulted in a particularly well acted and cohesive performance from a cast. It's certainly possible that that episode of Buffy was his American Graffiti, and then he later spun into obsessing about details rather than about crafting a great story and getting terrific performances from his cast.

Check if your homeowners/renters insurance covers it

Sure, directing isn't about set building, it's about getting your actors to act. That's why George Lucas is a terrible director despite how awesome the sets for Star Wars were. You hire a script girl to watch for continuity errors. Dollhouse did have great sets too tho. Maybe even the best part of that show, too.

I hope she wrote one of the good ones

true, the first few episodes of the second season of dollhouse were good. As to the rest, well, we can just disagree. I'm not a fan of firefly or buffy, even tho I wanted to be, and tried really hard to like both.

I don't think so, since it's not a new dislike. I gave him a LOT of chances, and dollhouse was really the only thing he did I was ever much of a fan of.

firefly: the whole series, firefly: the whole movie, the last season of dollhouse, every episode of buffy I ever saw

otakon is a ton of fun

nope, I just don't get all the fawning over Joss Whedon. Some of what he's written is clever, and sometimes it's bad writing covered up by bad acting and directing.

it'll have a bad episode once the pilot's been made. Joss Whedon is a hack.

Who gives a shit what they promote. If the vast majority of reviews of everything are positive, it's fucking useless because the vast majority of things can't be better than average.

Is there anything that doesn't get very good impressions over there except Bose?

The Stennis Space Center in Mississippi is completely shut down for the next 3 days. Every projected path for Isaac is aimed RIGHT at them.

cassette adapters work WAY better than fm adapters in most areas. So in some ways, you're better off with an older stereo than a new one if the new one doesn't have an aux input.

Happy jack day posty
