Man, here's hoping he doesn't screw up the Avengers like he did ALIEN RESURRECTION!

I pit-y you! A white pizza with *real* pitted green olives, caramelized onions and garlic is one of life's great yet simple pleasures.
And you would prefer the fruit of pine tress?! Seven Hells!

At least when I eat fruit it's actually ripe. GREEN olives?

Oh no, I get how movies are made, but Dan Obannon/ Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and to an extent...David Fincher/ David Giller all managed to make great to decent (three was ripped to pieces for a number of reasons, but was still worlds better than Resurrection) all while pleasing studio heads and the whole movie making process.
That french director and your boy Whedon screwed the pooch together. Whedon then had the audacity to blame the cast for not reading the script the way he envisioned it.....there's integrity for ya. Its everyone's fault but his.
Look, I'm a comic dork, so the Avenger's has my money already, but its gonnabe a sad sad day when ole Cap America sits in the corner and broods and Tony Stark has constant quippy one liners that would only sound good coming out of Buffy.

Thanks for the fans of Whedon who said Resurrection sucked. Ya'll kept it real.

Well, I just read that Whedon was one of like...six or seven writers on Toy Story.....that was an entertaining movie.....
AND thankfully, they didn't trust Whedon to write the script by himself (that was my fear) so hopefully the other guy did most of the writing.

Oh I understand you now.

Everything Whedon does or indeed is going to do is poor; yet everything his contemporaries do or have done, is good.

Y'know for a second there I thought you were being biased.

Apologies for the troll thingy in my other post but your original post read to me like a hit-and-run job. But you've returned and posted so fair play to you.

As for your point then it's a big resounding yes that Resurrection sucks. Alien 3 is the better movie of the two but both are a long way behind Alien/Aliens. To my knowledge Joss has never said that it was everyone else's fault but his, or even implied that. He is partly to blame with the emphasis on 'partly'. It is known that Jeunet changed things to his own liking and he is partly to blame as well. The studios also share some of it for interfering. Hell, even Sigourney Weaver for agreeing to come back after saying that she was done with the franchise. Your original post made it seem like you solely blamed Joss for it being bad which is just not the case. If he'd wrote and directed it then there would be some truth to that but he didn't.
You are obviously not a fan of Joss in any way whatsoever and that's fair enough. But a lot of people are, even if like me they don't like all his work. I think Som in the post above hit the nail on the head that you have formed some kind of bias to everything that he touches. What exactly is wrong with Toy Story? Your comment about it read as highly sarcastic indicating that you didn't find it entertaining. Care to elaborate on what was wrong in your opinion.

This line of yours made me laugh:
"Firefly and Buffy were....I dunno, TV shows?"
Well....err....yeah. They are TV shows. It may come as a shock to you but The Avengers is what is commonly known as a film or movie.

As for pizza then I'm with Byte and go for pineapple if I want something fruity or the classic pepperoni if I want something spicy. So we agree on that part.

Oh comon now...I'm sure he's a nice guy.....I mean, I dunno the man personally.
And there's nothing wrong with Toy Story. I really did like that movie....Who doesn't like Toy Story.

And now a special A:R version of which Joss Whedon characters are like each other, provided by my good friend who has actually seen A:R.

Because come on. Like I'm gonna watch it.

Elgyn=Mal=Angel
Hillard=Zoe
Johner=Jayne
Call=River=Buffy=Echo

And these characters are, let's say it all together:

Personally, I LIKE Resurrection. My second favorite in the franchise.
