Whedon Returns With “Dollhouse”
November 2, 2007 | 1 Comment
Oh hell yes! Joss Whedon is returning to TV next fall with a new show titled “Dollhouse” with co-producer and show’s star Eliza Dushku. Unfortunately, it’s Fox that has signed this deal with Whedon, but we’ll ignore that for the moment.
From the Variety article:
“Dollhouse” follows a top-secret world of people programmed with different personalities, abilities and memories depending on their mission.
After each assignment — which can be physical, romantic or even illegal — the characters have their memories wiped clean, and are sent back to a lab (dubbed the “Dollhouse”). Show centers on Dushku’s character, Echo, as she slowly begins to develop some self-awareness, which impacts her missions.
Currently Fox has signed for 7 episodes. They are intended to air in the Fall 2008 season. Unbelievably exciting.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand Full Trailer
March 7, 2006 | 35 Comments
Tonight the new full length X-Men 3: The Last Stand trailer was released. As with all full length trailers, a lot more of the overall plot was revealed. In the previous trailer, it was clear that a major battle was brewing. Magneto had developed an army and was shown destroying the Golden Gate Bridge. In the new trailer the catalyst for this was revealed.
Much like the premise of Joss Whedon’s run on Astonishing X-Men, a “cure” is found for the gene causing mutations. In reaction to this Magneto is fighting back. We see a lot of conflict even among the good guys. There is so much turmoil and chaos going on, I just can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
More of Angel, Beast, and Juggernaut are shown. For the first time Juggernaut actually looks strong as he goes plowing through walls after Kitty who passes through them cleanly. Additionally various shots of Jean/Phoenix are shown. Her loyalties are obviously in question as she stands against Professor X and in the climactic conclusion of the trailer, begs Wolverine to kill her.
Anyway, go watch the full trailer and hopefully you’ll be as jazzed as I am for May 26th! Come back and comment, I’d love to hear your reactions.

Buffy - The Chosen Collection
October 9, 2005 | 6 Comments
After getting hooked on Firefly and Serenity, I decided to plunge into Joss Whedon’s other TV series’. It took me until halfway through the second season of Buffy to get hooked, but now I love the show. Additionally, I moved into the Angel series and that rules as well.
I mention all this specifically because I just discovered today that the complete Buffy series is being repackaged and released in a 40
In fact, anyone who has any seasons currently, might be wise to dump them on Ebay, and use the money to buy this collection.
