Abrams. He should go back to FOX sit down with Tim Manear and stay off twitter. I don't know who's gone more bat shit crazy, him or Judd Aptow. As for him being difficult to work with, I don't care, from what I've heard, MARVEL is run by assholes and many directors won't work for them, plus many actors are also assholes. And I hate to say this but I read the Captain can be a real pain in the ass on and off the set
Firefly, Buffy and Angel are history, it's time for Joss to get off twitter, go back to FOX and call Tim. He needs to get away from comic book super hero's...AND STAY OFF TWITTER!!
Good to see you back.
I didn't know why you were absent.

Sounds like he was doing it for quite some time... hadn't heard who it was with, or if they were actresses. Seems like that news would have gotten out. Maybe in time, it will.
I think Joss has gotten to a level of fame and status that he can't be told what to do. Kinda like a certain President. Telling him to stay off twitter is futile. Simply not gonna happen. Unless you set up a go-fund me drive to BUY twitter, and then block him ?Yeah, crazy.
He directed two mega hit films for Disney, now he's at CW? Huh?! All Disney cares about right now is "STAR WARS", he belongs at FOX. If not the FOX network then FX, they've been making noise they want him back.

Screw him once, it's their fault. Allow them to screw him a second time.....
Not only that, but they HAD him - and then they got fickle. Not a solid foundation to build upon.

Yeah, I don't get why he switched over to the DC 'verse. Maybe they just offered him more of what he wanted ? A challenge ? Kinda like Lebron James, takin' his talents to... where ever, to make them the champions.
Don't care.

RWED, as I see it, is for current (mostly) Real World News.
Science fiction, fantasy, movies, Firefly stuff & the BD Heroes,
their news belongs back here -- in Community ... I think.

With respect, I never thought of this as a Whedon fansite. Of course, that distinction is easy for me to make, as I don't think much of Buffy or Angel. To me, this has always been THE Firefly fan site
You never challenged the network site's claim to be the Original Board (OB) but, as this site was up 5 months before the show premiered, I've often wonder'd
Thank you Haken

I took OB to mean “Official Board.”

"OB" did and does mean the "Official Board". I was a fairly long standing member there. Many a good conversation was to be had back in the day.
