The Joss Whedon Experience

The inimitable Joss Whedon thrilled the fans at "The Joss Whedon Experience" -- basically, an opportunity for him to talk about whatever the hell he wanted. Highlights:

It's nice being up here this time because the table is father back, I can actually come out to the front. America wants to see these leeeegs. (Tugs on cargo pants) No, this is actually flab. These are really tight-fitting pants.

My favorite part of these is hearing from you guys. Mostly praise, but the occasional question.

About possibly writing a gay character: I think it's time for some guy-on-guy.

(Sits on table) If this falls, it will be the BEST CON EVER.

Is it really surprising that I relate more to villains than heroes?

I read a lot of Heavy Metal when I was a kid because they contained a certain kind of comic boobies that are hard to find in America.

Joss: How much trouble would I get in if I told you my favorite actor?
Fan: I won't tell anyone.

Fan: Joss means "God" in Filipino.
Joss: Oh yeeaah. And it didn't before me.

Fan: Can you describe the process you go through when you're writing a script.
Joss: it's something like this: OMIGOD I HAVE AN IDEA! Oh god. Ow. Owwwwww. I'm hungry.
Really, the process is like: Fun, hunger, porn, depression, fun.
