A Few Good Men (1992) Quotes on IMDb: Memorable quotes and exchanges from movies, TV series and more. Joss Whedon is a third- generation television scriptwriter, possibly the first one. As he tells the story, he never intended to follow in his father's footsteps: He started his career as a snobby film student who never watched television and intended to write movies, until he found out how much TV writing paid. Ultimately, he did both, working as a scriptwriter on Roseanne and the TV series Parenthood before selling his script to the 1. Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie. For several years, he was a film writer and a script doctor, doing uncredited touch- ups on Twister, Speed, and Waterworld, and writing drafts of projects such as X- Men, Toy Story, Titan A. E., Disney's Atlantis, and Alien: Resurrection. But Whedon came into his own with the television incarnation of Buffy, which has, over the past few years, grown from a cult classic into a cottage industry. As the original creator of the Buffy character, Whedon- -now a writer, director, and executive producer of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV show- -has a hand in virtually all of its spinoffs, including the WB series Angel, a line of comic- book tie- ins distributed by Dark Horse, and an upcoming animated series and BBC TV show. Whedon recently spoke to The Onion A. V. Club about the Buffy phenomenon, his bitterness over his movie career, and the fans who share in his worship of his creations.

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. And the answer is, I can't say, because that's why you watch the show. The one thing I can say is, I think we earn it. There's no Patrick Duffy in the shower, there's no alternate- universe Buffy. It's not going to be neat. Bringing her back is difficult, and the consequences are fairly intense. It's not like we don't take these death- things seriously. ![]() Movie Review: Blair Witch Is the Amazing Sequel You Never Knew You Needed.

But exactly how she comes back, I can't reveal. Do they actually get these threats from you? I don't ever threaten them. There is, sort of hanging over their head, the thing that I could kill them at any moment. But that's really just if they annoy me. They know that I'm very secretive about plot twists and whatnot, because I think it's better for the show. But anybody with a computer can find out what's going to happen, apparently even before I know. So my wish for secrecy is sort of pathetic. But they're all on board. They don't want to give it away, and a lot of times, they just don't know. I was there almost all the way through shooting. I pretty much eventually threw up my hands because I could not be around Donald Sutherland any longer. It didn't turn out to be the movie that I had written. They never do, but that was my first lesson in that. Not that the movie is without merit, but I just watched a lot of stupid wannabe- star behavior and a director with a different vision than mine—which was her right, it was her movie—but it was still frustrating. Eventually, I was like, ? The thing is, people always make fun of Rutger Hauer . Even though he was big and silly and looked kind of goofy in the movie, I have to give him credit, because he was there. Whereas Donald was just.. He would rewrite all his dialogue, and the director would let him. He can't write—he's not a writer—so the dialogue would not make sense. And he had a very bad attitude. He was incredibly rude to the director, he was rude to everyone around him, he was just a real pain. And to see him destroying my stuff.. Some people didn't notice. Some people liked him in the movie. Because he's Donald Sutherland. He can read the phone book, and I'm interested. But the thing is, he acts well enough that you didn't notice, with his little rewrites, and his little ideas about what his character should do, that he was actually destroying the movie more than Rutger was. So I got out of there. He seems to be the actor people remember most from the movie. He is one of the sweetest, most professional and delightful people I've ever worked with. I mean, most of the people were sweet. Most of them were actively out there trying.. They were good people. Paul was a delight to be around, trying to make it better. He actually said to me, . I realize that it'll change this other thing, so if that's a problem..? It doesn't work that way. That'll never happen. They called me up out of contractual obligation: . It could be a high- school horror movie. It'd be a metaphor for how lousy my high- school years were. Did you have an unusually bad high- school experience, or was it just the usual teen traumas? It was nothing worse than anybody else. I could not get a date to save my life, but my last three years of high school were at a boys' school, so I wasn't actually looking that hard. I was not popular in school, and I was definitely not a ladies' man. And I had a very painful adolescence, because it was all very strange to me. It wasn't like I got beat up, but the humiliation and isolation, and the existential . I don't have horror stories. I mean, I have a few horror stories about attempting to court a girl, which would make people laugh, but it's not like I think I had it worse than other people. But that's sort of the point of Buffy, that I'm talking about the stuff everybody goes through. Nobody gets out of here without some trauma. That was actually pretty much a good experience. I also have the only poster left with my name still on it. Getting arbitrated off the credits was un- fun. But Speed has a bunch. In Twister, there are things that worked and things that weren't the way I'd intended them. Whereas Speed came out closer to what I'd been trying to do. I think of Speed as one of the few movies I've made that I actually like. I refer to myself as the world's highest- paid stenographer. This is a situation I've been in a bunch of times. By the way, I'm very bitter, is that okay? I mean, people ask me, . I've had almost nothing but bad experiences. Waterworld was a good idea, and the script was the classic, . It all took place on land, or on a ship, or whatever. I was there basically taking notes from Costner, who was very nice, fine to work with, but he was not a writer. And he had written a bunch of stuff that they wouldn't let their staff touch. So I was supposed to be there for a week, and I was there for seven weeks, and I accomplished nothing. I wrote a few puns, and a few scenes that I can't even sit through because they came out so bad. It was the same situation with X- Men. X- Men was very interesting in that, by that time, I actually had a reputation in television. I was actually somebody. People stopped thinking I was John Sweden on the phone. And then, in X- Men, not only did they throw out my script and never tell me about it; they actually invited me to the read- through, having thrown out my entire draft without telling me. The writer is shit in the movies! I have one line left in that movie. Actually, there are a couple of lines left in that are out of context and make no sense, or are delivered so badly, so terribly.. There's one line that's left the way I wrote it. Everybody remembers that as the worst line ever written, but the thing about that is, it was supposed to be delivered as completely offhand. The worst thing about these things is that, when the actors say it wrong, it makes the writer look stupid. People assume that the line.. I listened to half the dialogue in Alien 4, and I'm like, . And nobody knows that. Nobody ever gets that. I have a great long boring story about that, but I can tell you the very short version. In Alien 4, the director changed something so that it didn't make any sense. He wanted someone to go and get a gun and get killed by the alien, so I wrote that in and tried to make it work, but he directed it in a way that it made no sense whatsoever. And I was sitting there in the editing room, trying to come up with looplines to explain what's going on, to make the scene make sense, and I asked the director, ? Why is he going for this gun? I have never been angrier. But it's the classic, . You know, writing lines over somebody's back to explain something, to help make a connection, to add a joke, or to just add babble because the people are in frame and should be saying something. We're constantly saving something that doesn't work, or trying to, with lines behind people's backs. It's almost like adding narration, but cheaper. I did looplines for The Getaway, the Alec Baldwin/Kim Basinger version. If you look carefully at The Getaway, you'll see that when people's backs are turned, or their heads are slightly out of frame, the whole movie has a certain edge to it. I also did a couple of days of looplines and punch- ups for The Quick And The Dead, just to meet Sam Raimi. Some of them could barely speak, and others couldn't stop gushing about you, and about Buffy. How do you deal with that kind of emotional intensity? It's not like being a rock star. It doesn't feel like they're reacting to me. It's really sweet when people react like that, and I love the praise, but to me, what they're getting emotional about is the show. And that's the best feeling in the world. There's nothing creepy about it. I feel like there's a religion in narrative, and I feel the same way they do. I feel like we're both paying homage to something else; they're not paying homage to me. The people who feel the most strongly about something will turn on you the most vociferously if they feel you've let them down. Sometimes you roll your eyes and you want to say, . And you always know that's lurking there. It does make a difference. If nobody was paying attention, I might very well say, ? Let's churn 'em out, churn 'em out, make some money. I don't know me, I might be a dick. Once the critics, after the first season, really got the show, we all sort of looked at each other and said, . And then we had this responsibility, and we got kind of nervous. You don't want to let them down. But ultimately, the narrative feeds you so much. It's so exciting to find out what's going to happen next, to find the next important thing in the narrative, to step down and say, ? I designed the show to create that strong reaction.
