Came across this on Lion_Lamb when I was looking for the Stephen King thing, and thought I'd share. I'd totally forgotten about it, and it made me chuckle and smile.
Joss Whedon says Twilight 'Absoultely like Crack'
Joss Whedon, the brilliant mind behind Firefly and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, totally gets the Twilight craze–unlike some other writers *cough*Stephen King*cough*:
TVWeek: Vampires are big in pop culture right now. Have you seen Twilight’?
Mr. Whedon: I saw Twilight. And it’s—what can you say? It’s absolutely like crack. It strikes a tweener chord that’s just as loud as the apocalypse. You cannot deny the power of it. It just works. And I sort of like that.
TVWeek: What about HBO’s True Blood?
Mr. Whedon: I’ve seen less of it. Twilight makes its own rules, as we all do. It takes what it wants and discards the rest but ultimately, it is kind of classical. They’re puffy-shirt vampires in a sense.
Just thought I'd share. I love this man (even though I'm still bitter about him seperating my beloved Buffy and Angel, and then ruining Angel with the baby Connor storyline LOL). I still think he's a genius and I'm always excited to see what he's got coming out next, or what he thinks on certain subjects. He's definitely entertaining. LOL
