Joss Whedon's Open Letter to his fans

Dear Friends,

Well, it's been quite a weekend. Someday, long from now, I will even have an emotional reaction to it, like a person would. I can't wait! But before I become blinded by this "emotion" experience, there's a few things I'd like to say. Well, type.

People have told me that this matters, that my life is about to change. I am sure that is true. And change is good -- change is exciting. I think -- not to jinx it -- that I may finally be recognized at Comiccon. Imagine! Also, with my percentage of "the Avengers" gross, I can afford to buy... [gets call from agent. Weeps manfully. Resumes typing.] ...a fine meal. But REALLY fine, with truffles and s#!+. And I can get a studio to finance my dream project, the reboot of "Air Bud" that we all feel is so long overdue. (He could play Jai Alai! Think of the emotional ramifications of JAI ALAI!!!!)

What doesn't change is anything that matters. What doesn't change is that I've had the smartest, most loyal, most passionate, most articulate group of -- I'm not even gonna say fans. I'm going with "peeps" -- that any cult oddity such as my bad self could have dreamt of. When almost no one was watching, when people probably should have STOPPED watching, I've had three constants: my family and friends, my collaborators (often the same), and y'all. A lot of stories have come out about my "dark years", and how I'm "unrecognized"... I love these stories, because they make me seem super-important, but I have never felt the darkness (and I'm ALL about my darkness) that they described. Because I have so much. I have people, in my life, on this site, in places I've yet to discover, that always made me feel the truth of success: an artist and an audience communicating. Communicating to the point of collaborating. I've thought, "maybe I'm over; maybe I've said my piece". But never with fear. Never with rancor. Because of y'all. Because you knew me when. If you think topping a box office record compares with someone telling you your work helped them through a rough time, you're probably new here. (For the record, and despite my inhuman distance from the joy-joy of it: topping a box office record is super-dope. I'm an alien, not a robot.) So this is me, saying thank you. All of you. You've taken as much guff for loving my work as I have for over-writing it, and you deserve, in this our time of streaming into the main, to crow. To glow. To crow and go "I told you so", to those Joe Blows not in the know. (LAST time I hire Dr. Seuss to punch my posts up. Yeesh!) Point being, you deserve some honor, AND you deserves some FAQs answered. So please welcome my old friend and certainly not-on-my-payroll reporter/flunky, Rutherford D. Actualperson!

Avengers Assemble - High School Pic Style

Monday, May 7, 2012

The Avengers has set the mark as the movie to beat. It's now the highest grossing film over a domestic weekend. The Avengers made an estimated $200.3 million.

Marvel is kicking ass, Joss Whedon is now movie royalty and I'm sure the Justice League film will be out within 7 years.

The Avengers has the 2nd Highest Opening of All Time

This film is taking 2012 over! The Avengers has earn an estimated $80.5 million on its opening day in 4,349 locations.

The 1st place holder is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

The Avengers is set to rule the weekend and perhaps the next couple of weeks. Please see this film, at least for Jeremy Renner in tights.

My (Vague) Review: The Avengers

The Avengers... I can't tell you how dreamy this movie is. If you don't see this movie, then you're not American. Okay, it's not that serious... But really it is. This is the best movie of the year!

Now, here's my bullet point vague review to tell you why this movie is the bomb.com:

Although it's over 2 hours long, it doesn't feel like it.
Joss Whedon tells great stories.
The guys are hot! I want Jeremy and Mark!
Chris Evans has a cute butt. And Jeremy Renner looks great in tight pants.
I wasn't a fan of the Black Widow being in this film, but after seeing it, she make sense.
The special effects are perfect.
The Hulk... nuff said.
I got chills when the Avengers Assembled.
Loki was a great villain.
The writing was tight, I'm so jealous.
This is probably the best comic book movie ever made.
Nick Fury is great in this film.
There are some hidden gems in this movie.
The final battle scene is everything!
