Joss and Muppets (no, not together)

  • Joss Whedon talks about, well, everything he’s ever worked on, pretty much, in this article from In Focus. I had no idea he’d had any involvement with Toy Story. (Spotted at Kung Fu Rodeo, which was once 4 Color Review and no longer has a name in the title bar at all. Trendy bastards!)

    • As you go about casting Diana, do you set a height requirement? How important is it that the Amazon princess be tall?

    It’s important. I’m looking for somebody statuesque, regal, beautiful, who can really act and do a lot of stunts with no elbow or knee pads. I’m asking a lot. So if I happen to find all those qualities in somebody who does not quite meet my height requirement, I will be casting some really short love interest. The height is definitely a part of the package. But the most important part? No. And the fact of the matter is, a woman stands as tall as she makes you think she is. For example, I always thought [“Buffy� writer-producer] Marti Noxon was four inches taller than she actually was. I just found that out last week.

  • A pitch for the greatest reality show of all time. Lordy, I would love to see the Muppets back on prime time in something like this. (Source.)
  • And for more Muppet fun, check out Statler & Waldorf’s online movie reviews.
  • Now for larger than life characters of another sort: Apparently Marilyn Monroe had a lesbian sexual encounter with Joan Crawford. And Joe DiMaggio wasn’t all that interested in having sex with Marilyn. I’ll never think the 1950s were boring ever again.
