This just in: Joss Whedon is fucking fantastic. I went to Wondercon today, and it was SO COOL. Joss was there along with Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, and Nathan Fillion who are also extremely fucking cool. First off we got to see a clip of Serenity which looks like it's going to be really good. And then we got to see Joss and Nathan banter about getting naked. Oh man. It was awesome. Someone asked Nathan about a supposed quote in Firefly that went "at least I've got my spacepants on" and Nathan literally spit his water out all over the table in shock. !!!!! OMG I haven't laughed so hard in forever. Also, someone asked Joss about the possibility of an Angel movie and he said that there weren't any plans. And then he said that he'd gotten a bouquet of flowers on valentines day from some fans who want him to make a Spike movie. And his exact words were "so do I!" but he's not the one we have to convince, it'd really be the networks and James and whatnot. Someone also asked about a Buffy movie to which he said I'm really not the one who'd have to be convince. My money's on Sarah Michelle Gellar for that one. Also? John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men artist) is fucking hot. I would like to point out Joss' writeup of the con.

And then, if that wasn't cool enough Kevin Smith was on directly after Joss. And! Jason Mewes came out with him. Not only did Kevin give the funniest fucking film promo ever when asked what he'd have done had he been making The Passion of the Christ, but he was astonishingly smart and cool. I should note: his response about the Passion of the Christ went something like this: "Why would anyone want to make a movie about beating the shit out of jesus? 'We really love jesus so let's kick him in the nuts' isn't the movie I would want to make. If it were my movie I would have made that whole thing the first five minutes of my movie. Start with him walking up the hill. Show him getting nailed to the cross, and all the guards standing around placing bets on his clothes and then, right when he's about to die, two fucking ninjas come swooping in! With uzi's (because we're already being anachronistic with the ninjas). So you show the ninjas just spraying the guards with bullets [acts it out] and the guards going 'what the fuck?' and then one ninja grabs jesus off the cross, pulling the nails out and jesus is going 'what are you doing? I'm supposed to be dying for everyone's sins!' and then the ninja throws jesus over his shoulder and goes 'not on my watch'. And then they rip off their masks and it's Jay and Silent Bob. And that would be the first five minutes of the movie. The rest of it would be a living jesus trying to get a job. He'd be all 'well the only thing I was good at was dying and since that didn't happen I don't know what to do.' But he'd be good with numbers you know, give him a few fishes and some bread and he can multiply that shit like no one else."

Oh man! The dude is just hilarious! All in all it was a pretty awesome afternoon.
