This is a beautiful beast of a book. It’s huge. There are 544 pages, in colour, in a hardback that just oozes quality. Right now, Amazon is accepting pre-orders and the book is due out at the end of September in the UK and the beginning of October in the US. That timing is important […]
What we know so far: Joss Whedon’s TV S.H.I.E.L.D. series
Joss Whedon, Avengers director, will be running a S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. We knew Marvel had a TV series in the works and this is it. Joss’s brother, Jed, will be co-writer and his wife, Maurissa Tancharoen, as the other showrunner. Cynthia Littleton, of Variety, tweeted from a briefing to explain that Jed and Maurissa will […]
Joss Whedon’s alternative opening to The Avengers
The Avengers could have had a different and much darker opening sequence. Not only was it written and planned, it was shot and filmed. It begins with the aftermath of the battle and with the predictable blame game starting up. It also shows the tensions in the relationship between Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria […]
Joss Whedon to direct and write Avengers 2, signs exclusive
The Avengers have been an amazing box office success. A sequel was predictable. The writer and director for the movie was far from certain. However, in an corporate earnings call last night the CEO of the Walt Disney Company, Robert Iger, confirmed that Joss Whedon would be returning to write and direct the important movie. […]
Watch the Firefly 10 year anniversary Comic Con video
We might not be able to find a web cam stream of Comic Con this year (comment if you know one) but the heroes at Things From Another World did a bang up job of capturing the full hour-long Firefly 10 year anniversary panel on video.
Will the Cabin in the Woods trailer change your mind?
Cabin in the Woods may be a Joss Whedon movie but I really wasn’t sure about it. I went through my horror flick stage at about the age of about 15. Since then I’ve been less in to shock horror and more into plot. Somehow, strangely, I had assumed Joss Whedon wouldn’t be doing a […]
How good is The Avengers trailer?
It’s out. It’s out. I’m this excited – and it’s only the trailer. What are your first impressions? I like that we don’t see too much fighting. I suspect Iron Man will get a host of good lines. Loki’s clearly up to mischief. If Joss Whedon has a mega-hit with this… what does that mean […]
The Browncoat Anthem – Firefly rap
It’s a sign of a popular TV show – a very popular TV show – that the fans are still contributing to the community years after the show was cancelled. This rap has the lyrics “Curse you Fox” in it. It also has the lyrics “.. at least we got Serenity” so I think it […]
What Would Buffy Do?
For a while in marketing land there was an expression “What Would Google Do?” It was coined by Jeff Jarvis – who even wrote a book about it. The phrase worked because back then people thought Google could solve any problem through their clever lateral and algorthmic leaning thinking. The phrase “What Would Buffy Do?” […]
Whedon’s Dollhouse to continue
I don’t mind admitting it; I rather liked Dollhouse. It got better and better (okay; after a weak start). It was best after we knew it had been cancelled. Dark Horse have stepped in and now we can expect two more doses of Dollhouse in comic form. The first dose comes in the one-shot “Dollhouse: […]
