I was a huge Whedon fan growing up, Buffy being my favorite show of all time.

You know how they say “don’t meet your heroes?”

I met Joss before the avengers came out and it was the most awkward situation ever. He couldn’t be bothered or couldn’t care less. Thanked him for his work an the impact it had on me and he just sighed, signed something, and looked the other way. This was at a comic con ticketed signing. Like it would be one thing if I pulled him off the street (I work in film and tv and have ran into him on studio lots and didn’t say anything because we both were working and it’s just uncomfortable if it isn’t at a meet & greet type situation)..

Oddly some coworkers, girlfriend, and I were at an industry party that same weekend and he was very keen on chatting up my then girlfriend, and by association, me. I couldn’t give less of a fuck by that point. I know the vibe and surroundings were much different but it just made me laugh that he played the role of “ultimate fan boy” to his followers but didn’t have the decency to make conversation while meeting his fans at a signing event that he was very aware of.

Love it, one of my favorites. My only gripe is with the character of 'Drew' - he's such a badly written, very shallow 'bad guy'. Poorly acted too. Other than that I have no complaints about the movie.

‘The vast of night’ would be good for this. It’s about a guy at a radio station and a girl on a switch board in a small town who maybe pick up an alien signal. Lots of long dialogue sections with not huge amounts of visual activity. I’ve listened to it in bed and it could almost be a radio play

> No. I make a legitimate post about a film I think people may be interested in and because I don't ramble on enough others don't get to hear about it? What is the reason for this sub then?

This comment of yours is 187 characters long. Just one more sentence of equal length and you'd reached that 300 counter. Doesn't seem entirely unreasonable as a minimum.

If you'd put as much effort into your post as you did typing this comment - which I can't imagine was a lot - you'd be there already.
