My personal favorite by Joss Whedon is probably Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. I was going to watch this gem on Netflix but they have since taken it off, it's a sad day. Anywho, if you haven't watched this short mini-series (it's only 42 minutes all together) you should. It has the amazing Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion, One cannot forget about Felicia Day and a small part for Simon Helberg (of Big Bang Theory fame) as well. The plot is interesting and the music is well written and quite catchy. My favorite song is "My Freeze Ray". I could go on for longer but I'll end it here.
My next favorite work by Whedon is The Avengers because duh, it is The Avengers. If you do not know what this blockbuster is you have been living under a rock. My next favorite would be Firefly. Again, I have talked about Firefly on here before. Some have not seen it and I respect that. I recommend watching it. Again, it features Nathan Fillion along with a great supporting cast.
Now, enough about me. I also was talking to Cecelia earlier today. I asked her what her favorite Whedon project was as well. Her response: The Avengers. Her reasoning: "I haven't seen anything else". Her words exactly. I know that was a mistake on her part, seeing as she watches Agents of Shield and has seen Toy Story (more on that bit later). I'm also going to assume it's her favorite because it is a kick-butt movie and because of Loki and Hawkeye. That is just my guess though.
Returning to Toy Story. Did you know that Joss Whedon was a writer on Toy Story. No joke. Just another great movie to add to his resume. The man is seriously brilliant. I cannot imagine Hollywood, the TV world, or fandoms without him.
I will end my ranting with another simple Happy Birthday Mr. Whedon. Thank you for sharing your vision and talent with us all.
