Over on Whedonesque ( http://whedonesque.com/comments/8735), Joss has just posted this:

"Joss to never learn how to work site! Man is complete Melvin! Mock him!

It's true! I want to post, but I suspect my post will appear as the actual link to my post. And this after having my own password e-mailed to me 17 times. But just so you know, I happen to be a swell cook. And when the internet has a 'smell' function, you'll be able to tell that I... oh God. That's a horrible thought. 'Smell' function? From every computer? I think I just destroyed society as a concept. Anythough, I'm counting on some administrative muckity to turn whatever this comes out as into a real post. From me to you, sweet thang. (That only applies to those of you that are sweet and thangy.) (But the others can read it too.)

So what's up? Not sleep, sleep's not up... But I've been wanting to check in and let you know what's going on with me, Joss Whedon. In fact, there's even a tiny scoop or two in here!

Well, first of all, what a blast I've had with the release of Serenity! $267 million at the box office -- in Des Moines alone! Ten sequels lined up, March declared "National Serenity Awesomeness Month", Nathan made President for Life of Canada AND Greece (his will be a bloody and righteous rule), and Summer's feet to be exhibited at the Tate, when she has time to stand around at the Tate. (She should bring a book.)

So, okay, maybe SOME of my expectations were a hair unrealistic, but I'm so proud of the movie and all my peeps, and we'll drag it into the black (or take it out to the black) soon enough. That's DESPITE the Scrooge-like apathy of people like Mike Alward -- only one theater? Spread the wealth, pal! On the closest I ever get to a serious note, somebody should link his name to the Serenity site, 'cause they've been up in trying to find ways to bring people in and I think Mike really went to the mattresses there -- to be rewarded with a fair amount of snark here.

I know there's been some debate about the DVD art. Just remember it's what's INside that counts, as I used to remind girls in high school constantly. CONSTANTLY - until I realized that I was empty inside. Empty and homely. Man, that's a rough combo. Where was I? O yea, the DVD. I will admit there were a few better quotes they could have used to sell the film, among them:

"A brilliant film with heart, humor, and outstanding action. It should sweep the Oscars." -- Ron Notmadeupperson

"I've never seen a better film. In fact, I've never seen any film." -- President Abraham Lincoln

"I want to take this film and cover it in oil and rub it all over my body" -- Name Withheld (but it was Tim)

"This film has... events..." -- David Denby

"And this isn't my nose, it's a false one!" - A Witch

And now on to the rumors and allegations section. Many of you want to know what the future holds. Anxiety, hurricanes, and Male Pattern Baldness. But maybe also some art-stuff, which is really what you guys are into. No, I don't know anything about sequels, or spinoffs, or Nathan's President for Life gig. I'll keep my ear to the ground of course, but for now I'm just going to rest on my laurels (I have two). Oh! Oh! But I will tell you that Brett and I are talking about another three part comic, and it's gonna be a hoot. Takes place during the show, and has some sweet character deaths -- I mean moments! ("And what brings you to our ship, FutureTara..?") Sorry. Horrible taste. (Empty inside!) But wait'll you see the cover...

Speaking of Darkhorse Comics, they are starting a new Buffy comic, and as I understand it, it will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel and be canon in the Buffy world. And I understand it that way 'cause I'M WRITING IT. I'm kicking off the book with a four issue arc that finds Buffy -- you guessed it -- living in Italy with The Immortal. (Scott -- don't be mad I spoiled the announcement -- saying it means I have to finish it.) Then I'll be overseeing the book more closely, to make sure it remains true. Gonna be interesting. And it just might tie in to...

The infamous Spike movie. Still haven't finalized anything, but I feel that very soon I'll be able to go to James and say something a lot more interesting than "Wouldn't it be cool if..." 'Course, I just hope he's free some time this decade. See how my peeps is all actifying! Tomorrow night is AMIAS, (that's alias with Acker in it.) Happy. And totally jealous.

See, the Buffyverse glows in my brain with a new, overreaching arc that will include the comics, Spike, and more. It's taking shape and soon you will know its name. And you will tremble.

Then of course there's a little thing called X-Men, who are apparantly supposed to become astonishing again real soon. I miss me my Cassiday. Can't wait to see the fan response when I kill Wolverine and replace him with fan-fave Marrow.

Well, I certainly can't say much more, except that Wonder Woman is finally kicking ass that is not my ass, as in, I'm loving this script. She's saving the world in a tiara, people; this is why there's a me!

Oh, and there's nothing on TV tonight. TV has been cancelled. Talk amongst yourselves. La la la la la....

Thanks for keeping the faith, bringing the news (I really do learn stuff here) and carrying the banner (That's for us Newsies fans.) (Yes, I just typed that.) It's been a bewildering few months, but the important thing is, the work continues. There's a lot I'm looking forward to. 'Cause remember:

There was a show. Not that many people saw it in broad terms, but it was beloved. Full of humor, love and pain. And though it was a hard-sell emsemble piece with no huge names it in, it got made into a (roughly) 40 million dollar pic -- and with the cast intact. That doesn't happen a lot, but it should, and it did with this film. That's right. I just cannot wait to see RENT.

Stay crunchy, even in milk...

-joss."

"tags: \"beefalo\", tardis, defibrilators, tim, joss post"

I was very excited to hear about the planning of another Firefly comic series. Its gonna be shiny!

Glad to know that good ol' Abe Lincoln loved the movie too. That says so much right there.

We should campaign for Nathan now. We can do it. I mean, we got a movie and so much more when we told the world we wanted it, we can so get Nathan in office up in Canada.

Wow, he's busier than I realized.

I bought a comic book (his X-Men title) recently just because it had the Whedon name on it. I was all trembly and embarrassed about it, since I haven't bought a comic book in oh, about 20 years, since I stopped collecting them in college. Now I find there are more comic titles in the Whedonverse...sigh. I've been trying to get rid of my old comic collection for years now, and it looks like I may have to start reading comic books again. Just when I was getting used to reading books without pictures in them...

I think that this post of Joss' this morning
(made partly because he is nervous about being on Veronica Mars tonight, I'm sure)
should convince fans that he does not consider the Firefly/Serenity verse dead

that he had not turned his back on the Buffyverse

and that we can look forward to lots of comic books with publishing delays in the coming year!

I love a Joss-post... he is so funny!

this is why I have to see 'Wonder Woman' when it (finally) comes out,
because he even makes posting to a message board an event,
so naturally his movies have all got to be really entertaining.

He said drag it out to the black, which means it will turn a profit instead of "being in the red" as it is now (hasn't recovered its expenses).

Unlike most people here I'm disheartened. I don't want to see anything Buffy or Wonder Woman related (for various reasons). I'm selfish, and I want Firefly stuff ;D or other new IPs he might come up with, like Goners.

Um...f**k you?

You've been here for, what, a week? I remember three years ago, people saying "Firefly's over guys; you might as well give up hope now." I didn't. A lot of us didn't.

I brought 19 friends the first night; about half were Firefly novices (had never seen an ep). All of us loved it (except one gal, who said it was “just okay”); in fact, those not familiar with the show, it seemed, enjoyed it *more*, as they were less affected by...the things that would affect those who'd watched the show (I don't feel like doing the spoiler tag thing).

Anyways, I guess my point is, eh, f**k you. I may have already mentioned that. Don't come here and say it's over because things look grim to you. From my point of view, I can see that Universal's going to come away from this with a profit, versus the major in-the-redness of Fox after Firefly. I see that our odds now are far better than they were before...and I believe that the story of Serenity isn’t yet finished. You’ll see.

Come back here in three years, and see where we’re at. I think you’ll be surprised

You posted this before, elsewhere. I had the rare privelege of reading it twice.

So, if I'm not prying *too* much, why are you wasting your time? You don't buy the general enthusiasm and optimism - so fine. Don't. But you choose to read it, and post completely negative responses - and then read more - and post the same response, only reheated. It's obvious you don't want to go elsewhere, where ssnsible people say things of which you approve. Therefore all this means is that you are looking for a place to defecate, and people upon whom to do it. And, if you don't have the energy to come with a fresh "feces statement," you'll microwave the old for us, nice and steaming hot.

Don't know why you're wasting your time. Don't know why you're wasting others'. Don't, as a matter of fact, know why I'm wasting mine talking to you. Has the pig learned to sing, yet?

I bought a comic book (his X-Men title) recently just because it had the Whedon name on it.

Hey! Don't be embarrassed! It's the only Marvel title other than that Runaways thing I'm even thinking of buying, precisely 'cause he's writing it.

'Sides, comics are cool again. :P

And the Whedon name is half the reason I finally gave Firefly a chance, personally - I loved Buffy, dug Angel, and... OK, so a board where I actually respect people's opinions, people kept saying how awesome it was (in a non-pushy way, too, which was great). That, and SciFi channel reran it. Nine weeks later, I was obsessed. :P The Whedon magic knows no bounds (hey, did you know the word "Joss" means "luck"? I believe it. Consistent creative mojo! :D )

I was all trembly and embarrassed about it, since I haven't bought a comic book in oh, about 20 years, since I stopped collecting them in college. Now I find there are more comic titles in the Whedonverse...sigh.

I've got all the Serenity comics now. :D Gorgeous first-editions, too (the Kaylee cover is so sweet, and I mean that in the "awww" way... because yo. Kaylee! It's one of the ones I have, the Kaylee cover)! I also plan to eventually check out Whedon's X-Men stuff and Fray, which was a futuristic Buffy sequel.

And did you know some imported comics have made the New York Times Best Sellers lists? Comics are cool. Of course, the Japanese imports making such a big splash have helped.

I'm a girl who is a regular reader and collector of comics. You know how rare that used to be? Not so anymore, thanks to "shoujo" stuff from Japan (I wonder if Joss has ever read Zodiac P.I.? Almost nobody's read the darn thing. It's adorable and got a strong female protagonist, but nobody reads it! Argh!).

I've been trying to get rid of my old comic collection for years now, and it looks like I may have to start reading comic books again. Just when I was getting used to reading books without pictures in them...

Dude, read some of the modern comics... that's not books with pictures, it's art with a story. :P

A good read you may enjoy: Neon Genesis Evangelion graphic novel series, published/imported by Viz comics, author (artist AND writer, more common in Japan than over here) Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. GORGEOUS art. Gorgeous. And the story's pretty good, and the characters pretty interesting, too, always a bonus. Best part is you can often get used copies for quite cheap on places like eBay (even new, the books are being rereleased in $10 graphic novels, which is pretty darn cheap all things considered, especially if you get it on sale or with discounts).

Also, Zodiac P.I. (authored by Natsumi Ando and published by Tokyopop) is a lot of fun, though it's slightly girlier and a lot lighter, and it ended after four volumes. :P

I was SO excited when I found out there's going to be more Serenity comics. :D I wonder if they'll have more variant covers? That'd be awesome. Wonder if it WILL be set during the series, or if that's part of the joke?
