Joss Whedon Was Serious About Terminator Bid

When I read Joss Whedon‘s open letter (seen in full after the jump) to the Terminator owners (putting down a $10,000 bid for the rights), I laughed so hard that I actually didn’t think that the Dollhouse creator penned it himself.
Up against moguls like Sony Pictures and Summit Entertainment (the folks behind the very profitable Twilight franchise), Whedon barely seems to stand a chance as he waves his meager $10,000 offer around—was he serious at all? Turns out that the geek extraordinaire hasn’t wanted money this badly “since they auctioned off frames from The Little Mermaid.”
When asked if he finds his bidding laughable, Whedon remarked, “What do you mean, funny?! You think $10,000 is funny?! Here’s the thing: It’s not a slam on The Terminator. I love The Terminator. That part’s totally true. So you know what, never hurts to ask.”
To much of his fans’ surprise, the writer-director claims that he doesn’t just like the series because his former co-worker Summer Glau was on the television series: “I loved the movies, even the later movies. I loved the mythology. I loved the TV show [The Sarah Connor Chronicles]–like, really loved. Not for pretend. And not just because of [star] Summer [Glau].”

‘Atonement’ Dress Up for Auction
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: FOCUS, Adaptation, Drama, Period, Romance,
UPDATE: The auction ended March 1. The winning bid was $46,000.
Attention all Double-0’s: the exquisite green dress seen in the romantic weeper, Atonement, is now up for grabs. Clothes Off Our Backs, an organization that sells celebrity frocks for children’s charities, has started an auction for the memorable garment. Bids can be placed anytime through March 1.
Oh - I should probably mention that the item is considered a Size 2 (or so the site says), not a Double-0. Apparently stick-thin Keira Knightley has more meat on her bones than I thought?
Now if that dress came with a James McAvoy, I might not care that it wouldn’t fit me.
