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."

    Gee, a movie based on a four year old television series that itself only lasted four to six episodes? Oh, that must be absolutely amazing.

    And yes, that's sarcasm.

    Sorry, I'm just not a Gaiman/Whedon fanboy. Then again, I also don't collect anime and get wood arguing over which X-Men character would win in a fight. Mark me a troll or flamebait, though. It's the way we deal with people who don't agree with our slathering of praise and respect on every aspect of geek culture that crops up, around here.
