Charisma Carpenter on Wednesday posted a lengthy message on social media in which she accused Joss Whedon of "hostile and toxic" behavior on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff, Angel. "For nearly two decades, I have held my tongue and even made excuses for certain events that traumatize me to this day," she began. "Joss Whedon abused his power on numerous occasions while working together on the sets of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel," she wrote of the show creator. "The disturbing incidents triggered a chronic physical condition from which I still suffer. It is...

It’s a sad existence when you can’t even let go of political divides on a holiday like the Fourth of July. For many leftists suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome though, holidays usually only crank the political divisiveness up to 11. “Avengers” director and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon took to Twitter on America’s Independence Day and decided to do what Hollywood celebrities typically do best when it comes to politics — spread fear and misinformation. “We have a racist, fascist president who’s using armed thugs in law enforcement & illegal militias to keep us cowed & hopeless &...

Avengers’ director Joss Whedon suffers from the all-too-common mental disorder known popularly as Trump Derangement Syndrome. The condition is not yet part of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but it’s symptoms are depressingly evident. But Whedon acts as a sort of poster boy for both the disorder, and the attendant philosophic descent of modern liberalism. Whedon, who comes from a family of wealth, grew up in Manhattan and went to high school at an elite all-boys school in England. He attended Connecticut’s pricey, private liberal arts school, Wesleyan University. He’s lived and swam in Hollywood circles for...

Hollywood director Joss Whedon took to Twitter late Tuesday and wished for President Donald Trump to “quietly die.” “Donald trump is killing this country. Some of it quickly, some slowly, but he spoils and destroys everything he touches,” Whedon wrote. “He emboldens monsters, wielding guns, governmental power, or just smug doublespeak. Or Russia,” the Avengers director wrote. “My hate and sadness are exhausting. Die, Don. Just quietly die.”

<p>Remember earlier this week when actress Nicole Kidman was the voice of reason in Hollywood by saying everyone has to accept that Donald Trump is president and support him? Well, liberal writer/director Joss Whedon kind of took her advice. Instead of going after Trump with rage and tears he turned his hurt feelings on Speaker of The House Paul Ryan, hoping he would be f*cked to death by a rhino. After falling into a creative glut for years, Hollywood is once again entertaining us.</p>

Whatever side of the political divide you fall on, there’s a good chance you’ll agree with me when I say that this has been a pretty bizarre election cycle...Now, a new team of celebrities, not-so-famous celebrities, and ordinary citizens have banded together for the “Save the Day” campaign, a Super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton that encourages people to register and vote.

Director Joss Whedon has deleted his Twitter account, following criticism of his latest film, Age of Ultron. Its portrayal of female characters such as assassin Black Widow by Scarlett Johannsson had been called sexist. Comic-book fans had also criticised Marvel's Avengers superhero film's plot, on the social network. Immediately prior to deleting his account, Whedon tweeted: "Thank you to all the people who've been so kind and funny and inspiring up in here".

If you’ve been watching since last Tuesday you’ve probably already noticed that some on the left aren’t coming to terms with Trump’s election very well. In fact, there is a contingent on the left that seems to be spiraling up it’s rhetoric rather than winding it down. Case in point, director Joss Whedon put out this tweet today: Follow Joss Whedon ✔ @joss This is simple: Trump cannot CANNOT be allowed a term in office. It's not about 2018. It's about RIGHT NOW

So says the guy probably worth somewhere around a gajillion dollars and who likely made somewhere around a thousand times more money from "Avengers" than anyone on the crew. But Whedon's obviously talking about socialism for, you know, other people: “We are watching capitalism destroy itself right now,” [Whedon] told the audience. He added that America is “turning into Tsarist Russia” and that “we’re creating a country of serfs.” Whedon was raised on the Upper Westside neighborhood of Manhattan in the 1970s, an area associated with left-leaning intellectuals. He said he was raised by people who thought socialism was a...

Movie Review: Serenity The distribution partners for the new film Serenity, the sequel to the short-lived television series Firefly, have decided to embrace the blogosphere in order to promote its movie. They asked bloggers to set up pre-release screenings across America (or to attend previously scheduled screenings) for free as long as the bloggers agreed to write about the film on their blogs. They did not demand or even suggest that the blog reviews be positive or encouraging, just to write something. One might assume that Universal might have taken this approach for one of two reasons. The first motive...

Portland, May 26, 10:00 p.m."HI, MY NAME IS JOSS WHEDON. Before we begin the special screening, I have a little story I want to tell you. It's about a TV show called Firefly." I'm sitting in a movie theater in Portland and along with 200 other fans, I'm staring at a 20-foot-tall projection of the bleary, peanut-shaped head of Joss Whedon--creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer; he's snarkily introducing Serenity--the partially-completed film we're about to watch. We're paying to see this unfinished movie four months before its release date. It's the second of three rounds of sold-out sneak-preview screenings, scheduled...

  I've never seen anything like it in American pop-culture. Joss Whedon just introduced a new character who's a bleached-blond United States Senator and who intends to become President in 2008. Her most trusted aid is a vampire, and she's a member of the Circle of the Black Thorn - the most evil assemblage of characters in the history of the greater Buffy-verse [kind of like a Justice League of America, only for evil, not good]. Talk about your full body slams... All I can say is: WOW!  

In a move that has completely blindsided producers and fans alike, the WB Network announced late Friday that it was cancelling its long-running Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff, Angel."Those bastards!" was the reaction from Loey Lockerby, film critic and operator of  Loey's Guide to Angel, an Angel review site. "I haven't trusted the WB Network since the debacle over 'Graduation Day Part 2.'"Many fans like Loey have already turned to the first wave in most cancellations these days, PetitionOnline.com.  An online petition has already gathered almost 5,000 signatures within hours of its creation.  Lockerby expects that number to rise quickly...
