Entertainment Weekly interview Joss.
Joss expands on his exit from WW, the status of Ripper, the development of Goners and more. EW use the term "Nerd Prom", and don't horridly misquote Joss. All good.

(Joyce voice) These fans of yours. They put too much pressure on you. They always have.

And every now and then I'll see an agent on the phone being all grousy standing next to a Boba Fett. And I'll be like, "Dude, check out the Fett! You're missing the point."
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who understand that it's all about the Fett, and those who don't.
But a story point [finally] fell into place. For years, I hadn't been able to figure it out. Let's just say something very bad is happening, and I couldn't figure out why.
I really like the sound of that.

If I were him I wouldn't be able to say that without a sort of snideishness (yes, I know that is not a word) behind it. But, I guess that's why he's Joss and I'm not.

Which sounds just like something from one of his many wondrous creations...

One thing about the Ripper project. I'm seeing all these people online saying it should have Willow in. And Spike. And Andrew. And Xander. And it should be a series. I don't think that -- that was called Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Looking forward to seeing the story, provided it comes together.

I totally heard Xander's voice when I read that.
Also, Serenity miniseries???? Say it's so.

(btw--Has anyone else had a really hard time getting onto Whedonesque today? going through withdrawals, Grr Argh.)

Has anyone gotten their paper EW yet? They usually publish pics of their sponsored events, so I'm hoping there'll be some of Joss and perhaps some Joss cohorts. My stupid post office doesn't deliver my EW until the following week, though. :(

Tra-la! for the Ripper stuff. And then some of the interview kinda broke my heart, yet wasn't surprising... the WW stuff still royally chafes my chaps. At the very least, if they didn't want the Wondy that Joss was creating, they should've been able to express what they did want better somewhere along the way.
Nothing drives me crazier from a client than, "Well, I can't express myself in any recognizable way what I want, but I'll be very vocal about what it is I don't want after you do it. Why don't you do about twenty options, and then I'll tell you what I don't like about each of them? Is that workable?"
"There were rumors that your other film project, Goners, may have been distracting you."
Oh, bugger that - Wonder Woman was distracting Joss away from Goners.
"There's also a lot of...there's personal stuff that I'm not interested in talking about that was difficult."
Bubala. *hopes it feels better now.*

I really need to get back into the comics. I read a friend's copy of the first issue of Season Eight, but never got around to getting the rest of them. I'll probably catch them in trade paperback.
I'm definitely excited about Ripper, and look forward to more Joss stuff, he seems really busy now.
Although I wish he'd do another series.

Comic mini-series. Just to clarify.

Now you got me the imagery of Joss singing Walk through the fire.
