Today we get to see the first promo images released from the episode where this Buffyverse reunion takes place. Click below to see a few photos from the episode. Now, I don’t watch HIMYM so I’m not sure if these photos are spoilery or not so use your best judgement. I believe the Seth/Alyson storyline is the B story of the episode so I don’t think the images below are spoilery at all. More »

Joss Whedon’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ Premieres At The Toronto International Film Festival

The Geek God Takes on The Bard

Remember last October when I let you guys know that I filmed a cameo role in a little movie based on the William Shakspeare play Much Ado About Nothing that was directed by some guy named Joss Whedon? Yeah, well, that film made its worldwide debut at the The Elgin Theatre at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend and many of the film’s principal actors were in attendance. Sadly, I could not attend but folks like Amy Acker (Angel), Alexis Denisof (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), Tom Lenk (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and others did attend the red carpet premiere in my stead. My good friends Emma Bates and Joshua Zar were also at the event because they, too, star in the film :D Click below to see some photos from the Much Ado premiere at TIFF and read an AMAZING review of the film itself.

Congrats to Our Fave 'Buffy'/'Angel'/'Dexter' Star!

Back in June of last year, after a four year courtship, we learned that actress Julie Benz got herself engaged to be married to her longtime beau Rich Orosco. Yesterday, the pair said their I Dos and got themselves hitched here in SoCal. Julie, as you should be WELL aware, played Darla the vampire on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel as well as Rita Morgan on Dexter (among other fabulous TV and movie roles) … so I’ve got MAD love for the lady.
