The era of the Buffyverse is officially ending

Idiot executives are cancelling a great Joss Whedon show. AGAIN.

First Firefly is cancelled, then Buffy limps to its finale, and now Angel is axed. I pretty much have no more reason to watch TV now.

[Not to mention the fact that Jonah Goldberg is semi-bailing on his readers, but that's hardly an MD topic.]

Here’s hoping for some truly great uber-crossover TV movies to tie up all the Buffyverse loose ends.

American Splendor… the NPR Interview?

On today’s Fresh Air, a program on National Public Radio, there is a broadcast of a couple of interviews centered around the comic book movie American Splendor. The DVD is scheduled to be released soon.

American Splendor is an autobiograpical comic book written by Harvey Pekar. I have never read it and do not intend to read it.

In any case, today they broadcasted an interview made last year with Harvey Pekar and his wife Joyce Brabner, as well as a 2002 interview with Paul Giamatti. I don’t care what the web site just said; the radio told me audibly that the interview was made in 2002 and it doesn’t reference American Splendor.

It’s all fascinating stuff, even to a guy who has little to no interest in the base subject material.

Man the fort!

I’ve decided that, although I have reservations about the whole thing, I’m going to enter the Top Cow/Wizard contest. That means barricading myself into my office this weekend and finishing up a proposal that Phil Meadows and I have been cooking up for a while. Thus, I won’t be contributing much to the site until that’s done.

(“And so what else is new?” I hear you ask. Guilty as charged. All I can say is that I’ve been busy and I am looking for more people to be commentators for Monitor Duty.)

Speaking of Phil and I…we have a story coming up in May’s “Shooting Star Comics Anthology #4″. This one’s a humorous time travel story, and I should have a preview for you soon.
