How to Defend Yourself Against Fresh Fruit

Warning: I am not OK. I keep trying to read this, but I can only get (literally) one sentence at a time down before I’m flailing and screaming at the people near me about how fucking perfect Joss Whedon is.

GET A TWITTER, MAN!

• “And I can get a studio to finance my dream project, the reboot of “Air Bud” that we all feel is so long overdue.”
• “I think — not to jinx it — that I may finally be recognized at Comiccon. Imagine!”
• “What doesn’t change is anything that matters. What doesn’t change is that I’ve had the smartest, most loyal, most passionate, most articulate group of — I’m not even gonna say fans. I’m going with “peeps” — that any cult oddity such as my bad self could have dreamt of.” (…I might be dry-weeping)
• “If you think topping a box office record compares with someone telling you your work helped them through a rough time, you’re probably new here.”
• “TV is my great love. To tell stories with that alacrity, intensity, and immediacy… Nothing quite like it. I imagine it’s not dissimilar to the feeling great poker players have: “Here’s what I got, here’s where I’m going… How to trick everybody into thinking I know what I’m doing?” [Full disclosure : Joss hates poker. He is probably talking about bridge. But it should apply nonetheless.].”
• “”The Avengers” is notably IMperfect, which makes its success mean so much more to me — because it’s striking a chord that matters MORE than its obvious flaws. Like the team, it appears to be more than the sun of its parts. Boo-yah!”
• ” I’m not sure who you mean. I’m discarding my old fans so I can concentrate on fame, Euro-trash guy-jewelry and my precious “Air Bud” reboot. But, dude, don’t print that!”
• ” Hope you’ll continue to carry the banner even though other people may have joined the parade. (Kind of a gay pride/Newsies vibe: sentence accomplished!)”

I love this man. More than almost any other creator of television and film alive today. His work is not perfect; far from it. But that fact is what makes me love him more. The fact that he obviously loves us and the work he does back is also helpful.

<3 Joss.
