That Joss Whedon was one of the main writers for the original Toy Story???

Yep.

He was Oscar nominated for it (along with the other writers) and the Pixar guys credit Joss with teaching them how to write screenplays.

An impressive statement when you consider what they've done since.

Yes I knew this, did you know the Captain was in "Saving Private Ryan"?

Yup. He was Private Ryan.

Just not THAT Private Ryan. :)

And then Joss promoted him to Cap'n!



Did you know that Joss is a third-generation TV writer? Or that he wrote for "Roseanne"?

I just recently heard both those things, about Toy Story (I love that movie!) and about Private Ryan (my cousins told me).

Mrs. BrownCoat called my attention to a credit on a rerun of Roseanne, late one night on cable lately. One of the writers was Joss Whedon...

Doing it backwards. Walking up the downslide.


I did know. I always thought the line, "You are a sad, strange little man. And you have my pity." sounded very Joss. Maybe it wasn't, but it strikes me so.
