Yep you read that right : the guy behind Buffy, Angel, Dollhouse and more is willing to buy the Terminator franchise for… $ 10′000.–
An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners. From a Very Important Hollywood Mogul
Dear Sirs/Ma’ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where ‘hood’ was capitalized ’cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the ‘grapevine’ that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.
No, you didn’t miscount. That’s four — FOUR! — zeroes after that one. That’s to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played. Well, here’s what I have to say to Nikki Finke: you are a fine journalist and please don’t ever notice me. The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture — and my pretend play — as any I can think of. It’s far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:
1) Terminator… of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far… back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? “Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!” RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he’s a cyborg and he doesn’t give a s#&% about the ring — it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he’s doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).
2) More Glau. Hey. There’s a reason they’re called “Summer” movies.
3) Can you say… musical? Well don’t. Even I know that’s an awful idea.
4) Christian Bale’s John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)
5) More porn. John Connor never told Kyle Reese this, but his main objective in going to the past was to get some. What if there’s a lot of future-babies that have to be made? Cue wah-wah pedal guitar — and dollar signs!
6) The movies will stop getting less cool.
Okay. There’s more — this brain don’t quit! (though it has occasionally been fired) — but I think you get my drift. I really believe the Terminator franchise has only begun to plumb the depths of questioning the human condition during awesome stunts, and I’d like to shepherd it through the next phase. The money is there, but more importantly, the heart is there. But more importantly, money. Think about it. End this bloody bidding war before it begins, and put the Terminator in the hands of someone who watched the first one more than any other movie in college, including “Song of Norway” (no current franchise offer).
Sincerely, Joss Whedon.

Our fashion expert Jay has identified 2 more clothes worn by Summer.
This time they are not part of her personal dressing but it’s stuff she’s worn in TSCC. The leather boots she had in season 2 and the very iconic purple jacket she wore throughout the show.
[More info here]
EDIT: The leather jacket can be bought from here: DesignerTags.com (UK delivery only)

Looks like Summer is real busy these days, as MySanAntonio is reporting that she’s just started working on a new movie. It is a western movie titled “The Legend of Hell’s Gate: An American Conspiracy” (I’m going to call it LHG coz it’s really too long) starring among others Henry Thomas and Eric Balfour. It relates the adventures of three outlaws on the run in 1876, Summer is playing Maggie Moon, a member of a family that the outlaws encounter.
This is really great news for Summer: 1 – she’s shooting near her home town and 2 – she finally gets the do a period movie which is something she’s always wanted to do.

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) — Less than a week after announcing its November sweeps schedule, FOX is already making some changes.
Network sources have confirmed Friday entries “Brothers,” “‘Til Death” and “Dollhouse” will all go on hiatus after their October 23 airings. A rebroadcast of “House’s” two-hour season premiere will sub in for the night on October 30 with additional repeats of “House” and “Bones” taking over for the rest of the month.
“Dollhouse” will then return with back-to-back originals starting at 8:00/7:00c on December 4, 11 and 18.
As for the comedies, “Brothers” will permanently shift to Sundays at 7:00/6:00c starting November 8 with back-to-back originals also set for December 13 and 27. No return date for “‘Til Death” however was given.
To recap:
Fridays (December 4-18)
8:00/7:00c – “Dollhouse”
9:00/8:00c – “Dollhouse”
Damn! That’s a sad news indeed. But let’s try to look at the bright side: at least both episodes will air on the same day which is a good thing considering it’s a two parter.

With thanks to Jenny & Norman for the link,
Here is a new interview that Summer and Joss gave to Zap2it about Dollhouse
“I see Bennett as a sensitive, creative girl,” Glau says, “who spends all of her time alone in a world of her own. She is a mad scientist who is searching for happiness. This is a challenging role in many ways. The most challenging thing is the dead arm!”
“She has a vendetta against Echo,” Glau says. “She knew her back when she was Caroline, and there was this horrible accident, and she has been waiting to reunite with her for quite some time – waiting to get my revenge.
“I’m making her as creepy as it gets, but I asked Joss, ‘Can I still be sexy?’ “

Here are more info on what’s to come, with thanks to Norman for sending me the link.
The Watcher has a nice article on the upcoming episodes of Dollhouse, including some interesting parts about our favourite girl:
In a canny move, however, “The Public Eye” does acknowledge, to some extent, that things at the Los Angeles Dollhouse are quite often careening almost out of control. But there’s a bigger story at work. And the scenes with Summer Glau introduce a new layer of delightful weirdness to the show. No doubt the message boards will be lighting up with theories and conjecture about her character, Bennett.
