I do own Speed, which Joss is said to have re-written, although he is uncredited. I bought that one for Keanu and before I knew about Joss, so I can't really count it. ::)
:laugh: :laugh: ::) ::) :laugh: :laugh:
Oh, boy...in some of the fanfic threads, I've seen people talk about their fic being *not* comic or ignoring comics. There are a lot of really good stories out there that are post NFA ("Not Fade Away" - the final Angel episode).
I need to figure out how comics work and what to buy exactly... ???
Won't they all come out in a hardback collection at some point?
Ah, Spike...yes, wasn't it fun when he showed up on Angel in Season 5? Those cheekbones (and lips, and eyes, and...) slay me. ;) Nevermind that he's such a smartass. Who knew snarkiness could be attractive?
My favorite funniest moment from that season related to Spike has to be when he finally becomes corporeal again and drags poor Harmony off to some random guy's office.
:D
Although "Smile Time" and the Puppet!Angel/Spike interaction is a close second!

ok, gambling that "Toy Story" is the movie from Disney (boy will I be embarrassed if it isnt'!)
but the phrase that STILL makes me laugh out loud is
"Tuesday night's Plastic Corrosion Awareness meeting was a great success"
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Lynne:
And while I'm waxing poetic about those cheekbones, here's a clip of James Marsters and Sarah Michelle Gellar from the musical episode "Once More With Feeling" (S6.7) where Spike sings Rest In Peace.

I know that James Marsters plays guitar and has released bluesy CDs. I couldn't find any of his original work on youtube that I thought was worthy, though.
(And if that 'willing slave' line doesn't make you want to fall to your own knees, I don't know what will!) ;)

Hey there, Jess! Yes, Toy Story is the animated Pixar film - I'm attaching the poster.
From Wiki:
The film was nominated for three Academy Awards, two to Randy Newman for Best Music, Original Song, for "You've Got a Friend in Me", and Best Music, Original Musical or Comedy Score. It was also nominated for Best Writing, Screenplay Written for the Screen for the work by Joel Cohen, Pete Docter, John Lasseter, Joe Ranft, Alec Sokolow, Andrew Stanton, and Joss Whedon.
In IMDb, Joss is listed first of the 'screenwriters' - not sure how these collaborations really work - but the above list is alphabetical.

I remember when it came out, I was very happy with it. It was SOOO nice to have a kids movie that I could enjoy with the little ones.
Proof you can be hilarious without being raunchy...
Lynne:
Tonight I remembered that checking out Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (recommended to me by Mr. Meno several months ago) had slipped to the bottom of my to-do pile. Apparently, this is what Joss and family were up to during the writer's strike earlier this year.
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog features Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day, along with cameos from Whedonverse writer/producer veterans like David Fury, Marti Noxon, and Drew Goddard.
From this link, you can get to the three-act event, which is approximately 45 minutes in length. It's tricky but you have the ability to view full-screen, pause, etc...

This is the link with the details and interviews and other fun things:

Some of my initial reactions include "I'm seeing shades of Andrew and the Evil Trio" and "I like the lyrics; they remind me of Once More With Feeling," and laughing at selected lines. But then I was startled by the ending!
I also think NPH did a phenomenal job, especially in Act III.
But I really need to watch it again and let it settle, I think, before I say too much about it.
Has anyone else seen Dr. Horrible? (Elle - send Mr. Meno over here to put his four cents worth in ;))
**Note that Mr. Meno gets four cents instead of two because he actually owns a Dr. Horrible T-shirt! ::) ;)
