THE NEXT ONE

As anticipated, my blind jottings from Joss Whedon's "From Buffy To Dr Horrible, Infinity & Beyond" are as spidery as a Drow shopping list and largely illegible. Rather than print SFA, here's the gist of his spiel. He was small and bullied as a child, which left him with an enduring feeling of helplessness and motivated his escape into writing. From his stepsister to his missus, he has looked to capable women to "save" him, hence his fixation with super-powered female leads. Tidbits - he geeks out over Sondheim, has ignored the "Twilight" phenomenon (deflecting blame onto Anne Rice) and nominates Sandra Bullock as the "everywoman".
