Discuss the CBS Sunday Morning segment about Joss.
"You want to see the tiny person suddenly take control. God, my whole career is basically about that." ETA: Watch the video on CBS's site or YouTube (includes the first clip from Much Ado About Nothing).
The segment was an overview of Joss's career to date, including much Buffy love, an Equality Now mention, Black Widow, and a Much Ado clip. We expect the video will be available online later today, but for now we're linking to the transcript.

Got up just in the nick of time to catch it. Liked that it was about more than just Avengers. And that there was Much Ado About Nothing footage.

It deserved more spotlight, maybe primetime, but hopefully was caught by the right eyeballs.

The money pile quote rocked and his wife calling him a geek. Loved it.

I took a few screen shots - I'll add 'em to this post's comments once I get 'em up on flickr.
ETA: After the vids went up I realized that this was unnecessary & in fact kinda stoopid. ; ]

Also I kind of hate that they downplay the significance of his show on like Television as a whole. But w/e thats just me.
Less than a week left till the avengers!

Aside from that, a good job by all, especially featuring Joss' wife. From the numbers we got overseas, The Avengers should turn a profit before noon Friday, and earn double the supposed cost by a week from now.

It will easily achieve that number, of course, but I'm compelled to correct this mistake every time I see it.

Like I said, this movie is still a huge hit but people keep talking like Box Office all goes straight back to Disney and that is very far from the reality.

You know, When joss first took this project, I actually said "that's great! I hope he doesn't screw it up". At the time he was just announced as directing, and man, Zak Penn's script? Not very good. The fact Zak has a story credit shows he has a good lawyer, but the story? Not his. I've been itching to write something about The Avengers before joss joined the project, but I don't want to wee on other peoples shit - but I think joss will end up saving Disney/Marvel a lot of money. Like, a loooot of money. All credit to Marvel for speaking to him and actually listening and getting him to run with it.

Also, re Much Ado - Fran! Amy! Alexis! Reed! Clark! That is all.

I'm sure The Avengers will be huge. Only questions i have:
-Will it beat Harry Potter's opening weekend record? (i kinda hope it won't)
-How much money will it gross compared to Batman, The Hobbit and The Hunger Games?

So amazing that is was ABOUT JOSS, not the Avengers, not its stars, but the man himself. I chuckled with the intro of "relatively unknown" when he's been my number one-would-like-to-meet/be celebrity since 1998. Awesome to see some footage from Much Ado!
Adding to reinforce that this is awesome and strange at the same time.

"I was raised by a pack of wild comedy writers."
I could actually picture this, sortof howling and prowling and all trying to "kill the people" and "knock 'em dead". #IYKWIM

I am not sure how to handle this recent deluge of good news. Filmaggedon!
Pointy | April 29, 16:10 CET
And Kai, the lovely Kai, could be taken and plugged right this minute into a Buffy cast and nobody would be the wiser.
FloralBonnet | April 29, 16:22 CET
However, like BreathesStory, I kind of wished the post had mentioned the fact that there was quite a bit of Avengers footage in this. I too have been trying to avoid as much of it as I can before seeing it and it would have been nice if I had been prewarned.
Giles_314 | April 29, 17:00 CET
Also, loved seeing him in his house w Kai and big up to the person who thought to add the Equality Now event footage which was just last week! Good stuff all around.
note: my auto correct chanced Joss>Josh and Kai>Kaiser. Hilarity.

T-Shirts with the phrase: "I was raised by a pack of wild comedy writers," with Joss' face of course. Then again, Chris Eliot may try the same thing, if you know who his dad is.
