This one’s for Sacchi del Amy.

But! This one isn’t for Amy; she never was a big Buffy fan. IGN’s FilmForce (NASDAQ: IGNX, and isn’t there something fetchingly quaint about a website with its ticker symbol in the footer?) has an impressively comprehensive interview with Joss Whedon. Ten screens’ worth of stuff from an interviewer who isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions. Questions like:
On a side tangent, what was the purpose of the—I hesitate to use the phrase—sort of clumsy storytelling with the whole “Giles not touching things” thing…
But! Boarding school days, the Wesleyan mafia, lunch with Roseanne, feminism, gnomic utterances regarding cast tensions—it’s all here. A fun read, and you can cop a clue as to the underlying metaphor of Firefly for extra credit.

Thanks for the link, Kip. Too bad only the handful of aging, nostalgiac, quasi-dot-commers who read *Anodyne* and remember it know why you picked Acme for your "dedication."
Sigh. I can't believe that I used to get up at 3 AM PST to tape an hour of Looney Tunes on the TNT network, stagger back to bed at 4 AM PST, and emerge again at 12:30 PM PST or so just in time to stagger off to my dumbass job at the law firm. Ah, youth... or quasi-youth... or somethin'.
Thanks, Kip. :)
