"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon blogs semiregularly about his upcoming first feature, "Serenity," on the website serenitymovie.com. Like many nonmovie blogs, his postings are full of personal musings and wry asides such as, "People who are prettier than me are not supposed to be funnier than me."
