No results
Bury - greatfloat, on 02/17/2009, -7/+77Dollhouse isn't terrible. It's gonna take a few episodes for the true nature of the show to emerge.
- dsmatrix, on 02/17/2009, -6/+68FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE BRING FIREFLY BACK!! *breaks down screaming and crying*
- Tearlock, on 02/16/2009, -24/+78Is he trying to hide from TV because the "Dollhouse" premiere royally sucked?
- Barackalypse, on 02/17/2009, -2/+56Offer Firefly Season 2 for pre-sale for $34.99 contingent on selling 2 million copies. Instant $2 million per episode budget with millions to spare for DVD production, creation, shipping, and marketing.
- sassafras1232, on 02/17/2009, -0/+49Did I miss the part in the article where he said he was not going to do more TV? All I got from that is that he is pro-internet. I didn't see anything about being anti-TV like the digg headline suggested...
- mklopez, on 02/16/2009, -5/+46More Doctor Horrible... Buffy... Angel... Firefly...
Not to mention any other ideas he might have...
Brains hurts with expectation! - Tearlock, on 02/16/2009, -1/+34Seconded!
- Protonz, on 02/17/2009, -1/+32Digg just introduced me to Firefly a few weeks ago with that "getting kicked into the engine youtube clip". Since then I bought the series, movie and just bought Dr. Horrible last night. The prices were all very reasonable, so I felt no desire to pirate.
- ericdano, on 02/17/2009, -2/+33He needs to NOT be on FOX. Perhaps get a deal with SciFi or.........start a new channel?
- HBeeOh, on 02/17/2009, -2/+30It's much better. It's high time Nielsen's ended their run as the deciding factor in a series' survival. If advertisers want to get involved, let them -- but on the back end.
Let the market decide what television lives and dies. If Firefly has 2 million viewers, charge $3 an episode (or whatever it would cost be profitable). If it has 4 million viewers, charge $1.50. There's no denying I'd pay whatever it cost for more Arrested Development, Firefly, Freaks & Geeks, etc. - teamgwho, on 02/17/2009, -8/+33Firefly and Serenity has some of the best dialogue I've heard that wasn't penned by Quentin Tarrentino.
I said has. I refuse to use the past tense "had".
I refuse to acknowledge that there isn't a new movie coming out.
Or that Firefly won't be revived on the SciFi channel or on the web. - Rally603, on 02/17/2009, -2/+26Maybe it's just the nostalgia, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer really WAS genius.
- nighthawk8713, on 02/17/2009, -0/+23Give Dollhouse a chance. Fox screwed Whedon over by not airing the pilot episode first. Again.
- inactive, on 02/17/2009, -8/+31Once again...
Eliza Dushku is Hot - cawpin, on 02/16/2009, -2/+25Well, considering Dollhouse IS on TV, I'd say he hasn't quite abandoned it yet. He may say he WANTS to but he just hasn't.
- twiztidsinz, on 02/17/2009, -2/+19Which is a few episodes too long for the RealityTV generation.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 02/17/2009, -0/+16More than likely, someone at Fox in a suit, drove by and ruined his original ideas. Because at Fox, that's how they roll.
- chkdg8, on 02/17/2009, -0/+16Great article but who the hell is proof reading over at Rolling Stone? Several grammatical and spelling errors all over the place.
- Steve95613, on 02/17/2009, -0/+16In case anyone else has not seen Firefly, http://www.hulu.com/firefly
- thatsmyaibo, on 02/17/2009, -0/+15She did. She convinced Joss to work on this project. She talked about it on Conan last week. She also mentioned though that it would take some chapters to really get involved. The problem with Fox and Joss is that they don't give him a chance to develop his stories.
I'll give Dollhouse time. - Fire4Effect, on 02/17/2009, -1/+16Burried for the title, he doesn't insinuate ANYWHERE in that interview that he's "abandoning tv for good".
- VitriolAndAngst, on 02/17/2009, -2/+16Josh could EASILY do that. Seriously, it would be the first viewer sponsored TV show ever.
I'm pretty sure there are 4 million fans who would shell out for another Season. - inactive, on 02/17/2009, -2/+15Ugh, in the first sentence they call him the "George Lucas of television".
What a downright rude way to insult Joss Whedon. - TrashyMoped, on 02/17/2009, -2/+14"low risk, medium yield kind of stuff where you can just do what you think is right and not have to worry"
aka
Fvck you, Fox! - MSUKate, on 02/17/2009, -2/+13So long as he doesn't stop, that's all I care about. Movies, TV, Internet, If Joss Makes It, I will Watch.
Im a little ambivalent about Dollhouse BTW. Its not bad, but I'm waiting for more to judge. - VitriolAndAngst, on 02/17/2009, -0/+11Fox, pulling mediocrity from the jaws of greatness.
Thank God they didn't keep The Watchmen from the screen.
I think their only purpose is to find great shows, run them for 13 episodes, then never see the light of day again. Because they work for Satan. - Jareth86, on 02/17/2009, -2/+12"The genius behind television's "Firefly" turns to the Web"
There, fixed the description. - eadnams, on 02/17/2009, -0/+10Sensationalist and misleading title.
- yocouchdigga, on 02/17/2009, -2/+11technically, I'd be forth but I'm going to go with eighted because you're probably going to be dugg by 96% of people that come across this submission and I like saying eighted better because I'm juvenile like that.
- EliteMacFreak, on 02/17/2009, -1/+10Honestly, I don't think that Joss could ever scrape together the funds necessary to bring Firefly back to life, including the cost of buying the rights from Fox.
- Bloodwine, on 02/17/2009, -0/+9To this day I believe Firefly would've survived more than one season if Fox aired the episodes in the correct order.
It is a testament to Arrested Development that it lasted as long as it did on Fox. The Fox execs are masterful are fumbling the ball and killing their good shows. Whedon needs to step away from Fox. - groo68, on 02/17/2009, -0/+9Did you even watch the show?
- vacax, on 02/17/2009, -1/+9Funny considering his new network television show just premiered a few days ago. Then again, positive story because Dr. Horrible was utterly fantastic.
- coheedcollapse, on 02/17/2009, -0/+8Yup same. A few years ago when I bought the box set it was something like $17 retail from Target, which for what you get is absolutely amazing.
- Barackalypse, on 02/17/2009, -0/+8No, its an escrow situation, the money is held for a period of time (say, 6 months) and if it hits the desired target. If it doesn't hit the target in the time, everyone gets their money back, if it does, Whedon's production company signs a contract to deliver twenty two 42 minute long episodes of Firefly on DVD to the pre-paid people. I'd also suspect there would be a revenue sharing arrangement as well wherein the 2 million people that put up the money would be eligible for a share of any additional profits made from the show (maybe Sci-Fi picks it up for $6 million for syndication, iTunes revenue, additional DVD sales, etc).
- NeonDistraction, on 02/17/2009, -0/+8First off, it's Mal. Short for Malcolm.
Second it's:
Assassin:"Do you really believe that?"
Mal: "I do"
Assassin:"You're willing to die for that belief?"
Mal: "I am"
BANG
Mal: "Of course that aint exactly plan A"
I guess that makes me a bigger nerd than you. - RevJonathan, on 02/17/2009, -3/+11After seeing the pilot, he'll be outta TV soon enough.
I'm a huge Whedon fan, and have hopes that it will improve, but wow, Dollhouse started weak. - groo68, on 02/17/2009, -0/+8I'm pretty sure it was Elijah Dushku who really wanted to do dollhouse, and she is the producer. I think she convinced Whedon to work with fox again.
- logic11, on 02/17/2009, -2/+10Apparently Fox forced massive rewrites and re-filming based on reaction from a test audience... from what I hear it was a lot better before.
- lithiumtaoist, on 02/17/2009, -0/+7Buried for completely misleading title
- microview2007, on 02/17/2009, -0/+7Remember FOX wanted to kill Firefly because the first few episodes were character builders and not much about grabbing the audience but that's just the way Josh rolls. Like I tell everyone, watch the first 3 episodes of Firefly before deciding you don't like it. No one has ever returned my box set until they see all 14 episodes.
- BobSutan, on 02/17/2009, -0/+7Hard to pull off with Jayne antagonizing Chuck Bartowski every week.
- MindStalker, on 02/17/2009, -0/+7Hmm I hadn't heard that about dollhouse. Looked it up and your right, he ditched the original pilot because it wasn't to Fox's liking. Though this is still episode 1 as opposed to Firefly where they started out by showing a random episode.
- merdiesel, on 02/17/2009, -0/+7I would give up all TV for a year if Joss brought back Firefly.
By far my favorite show of all time. - ivanmarsh, on 02/17/2009, -0/+6Yeah... if you go back and watch the whole thing again... Buffy really was that good.
"I can't stand the name of his new show so I won't watch it." Brilliant! - Smalldude76, on 02/17/2009, -0/+6That is actually a pretty decent idea assuming of course he were to get that type of support.
- DarthCider, on 02/17/2009, -1/+7I loved the first episode of Dollhouse. It's well written, has a great cast, and promises lots of action. Too many shows in the sci fi genre are just soap opera - almost nothing happens in them, and the characters talk talk talk but never resolve anything. (Watch any TV show and ask how much it's like a soap opera. Almost all of them are. Why? They're easy to write, cheap to film.) I'm looking forward to many more episodes of Dollhouse, and wish all of the Buffy and Firefly fans would stop complaining and let Joss prove his genius in a new way. The people at Fox are trigger happy, remember? Do you want to be on THEIR side?
