Take a Look Inside the Dollhouse
There’s finally a new trailer for Joss Whedon’s new show Dollhouse, which he’s reworked about a hundred times since it was first announced. So it shouldn’t be any surprise that Dollhouse looks…kind of lame, actually. Now I drank the Buffy/Angel/Firefly kool-aid myself, so I’m certainly a Whedon fan, but it disturbs me that they apparently could not find or chose not to use any of Whedon’s normally excellent dialogue in the trailer. Plus…it just doesn’t look fun. I’ll certainly watch?maybe if Heroes finishes I’ll even do a live-blog or two?but I’m not really looking forward to it. Your thoughts? (Via /Film)
