Buffy lives!
No, not the proposed Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie that wouldn't involve creator Joss Whedon or anyone from the beloved TV show, which all serious Bronzers consider an abomination against nature.
Rather, a series of motion-comic webi...

"Belonging," and some more important stuff.
Dollhouse is an amazing show, and it's not even just my Joss Whedon fanbrain talking. To tell the truth, sometimes I don't even actively remember its his show because it's so drastically different from his other series in a lot of ways.

Dollhouse; is it any good, or is it just Joss?
With all the talk of Dollhouse being cancelled after only four episodes, people are certainly making their feelings heard on the issue. Everyone I talk to seems to be divided. One side claims that Dushku isn't a great actress, the show itself is m...

Date of Birth: 23 June 1964, New York City, New York, USA Birth Name: Joseph Hill Whedon Height: 6' 4" (1.93 m) Spouse: Kai Cole (? - present) 2 children
Attended and graduated from Wesleyan University in 1987. Lived in the UK for 3 years, from 1980-2, attending Winchester College in Hampshire, where he took his A levels. The character of Rupert Giles is mistakenly thought to be based on a history teacher there, Dr. Peter Cramer. Dr. Cramer's arrival at the College post-dates Whedon's departure. The character was named in tribute to his House Matron: Barbara Giles.
Writing is clearly in his blood, since he could arguably be the world's first third-generation television writer. His grandfather was a successful sitcom writer in the 1950s and '60s on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958) and "Leave It to Beaver" (1957), and his father wrote for the likes of "The Dick Cavett Show" (1968), "Alice" (1976) and "Benson" (1979).
After receiving a degree in film studies from Wesleyan University, Whedon moved to Los Angeles and landed his first writing job on the staff of "Roseanne" (1988), working as a story editor and writing several episodes of the top-rated series. He later pulled double duty on the NBC series "Parenthood" (1990), co-producing and writing a number of episodes.
Appeared on-screen in the Jossverse for the first-time in the _"Angel" (1999/I)_ episode "Through the Looking Glass" as Numfar of the Deathwok Clan. A relative of the Host, he is routinely ordered by Lorne's mother to dance.
Has said that he created Buffy (of the vampire slaying fame) to be an "alternative feminist icon". Has cited the X-Men character Kitty Pryde (AKA Shadowcat) as a major influence for the character of Buffy.
His favorite movie is The Matrix (1999).
Considers Mad Max 2 (1981) to be a perfect movie.
