Gaiman and Whedon Discuss the Rise of the Geek

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bet-gaiman-is-wearing-that-jacket dept.

CABridges writes "In a lengthy Time Magazine interview, Neil Gaiman ("Sandman," "American Gods") and Joss Whedon ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Firefly") talk about their audience. Gaiman: "Mostly they're people. They're us. That's what they look like." Whedon: "They're a lot more attractive than I am, actually, which kind of disturbs and upsets me." Both men, known for their cult-favorite creations, have movies debuting this Friday. For Gaiman it's MirrorMask, for Whedon it's Serenity."

    That's right! This is "news for nerds," not geeks. Geeks, get out of here. Same goes for you too, dorks!
