Molar's Avengers

Dear Joss Whedon,
I am that cool.

















I saw the Avengers at a midnight screening and it was a lot of fun. The house was packed and the audience verbally loved it. It was like I was watching it with an audio commentary by fan boys...which when I think about it I was. Dolby digital dweeb surround sound speakers of approval.
One of the dweekers.















How does it feel now to have such wide approval? I mean you were never really lacking for it with your dedicated fan base and Buffy. But with reaching this level of international success it must put the biggest smile on your face.
If you got 'em, flaunt 'em.











What a great grin. I hope though it doesn't get out of control. Soon your smile grows so huge that it will be bigger than your face.  It will destroy small cities and enslave the remnants of their populace.

When one day you eventually frown the people will be so unable to adjust to their new found toothless freedom that mass suicides will be reported and many virgins will be sacrificed just to see those pearly whites again.
Just imagine their power after Avengers 2.














 Eventually people will evolve to breath not oxygen but teeth and live off your precious gum nutrients. They will build idols of your molars from your teeth. Wars will be fought with plaque and gingivitis. A root canal will take on an even worse and disturbing meaning. 
You thought dentists were scary now. 

















Then...ahem, I believe I got a bit off topic there. What I really wanted to say is that The Avengers was fun and thank you. I saw it with my fellow letter writer Erin Michele Gabbard and we loved it. Here is to your next project! -Josh Flowers.
Her crush.
My crush (like I had a choice).

Dear Joss Whedon,
"Welcome to the man club." -Joss Whedon

"I hate when people make up quotes for me."  -J.W.













Or at least that is what I imagine your quote will be upon reading this letter.  But what possible thing could I have done to warrant such a response? That's right, I tied (with the help of youtube) my own tie. A half-Windsor but nevertheless a whole accomplishment.  

As you can tell I was quite proud.




















I always thought of the tie as the Rubik's cube of silk. And much like the cube I accomplished it by cheating. No, my tie trick did not involve removing the colored stickers and placing them on the correct side. No, my fashion fraud involved someone else tying it and then myself never untying it.

Countless times I would bust out those pre-tied ties and no one was ever the wiser. Sometimes I was even a clip-on man(which sounds a bit more disturbing than I meant it to be). My dastardly plan fooled hordes of people at the occasional wedding, funeral or talk show.


  Don't ask.

But ultimately I was fabricating my fabric finesse.

Most of the pictures of yourself with a collar would make it seem you are not a fellow member in the man's club. But I know it is just because you feel no need to show off all the time. Even Superman sits down occasionally. Anyway Joss Whedon is more like your Clark Kent when actually you are fashion guru.
Collar, t-shirt and no tie? 
Yeah, I started that.



















So here is to you Mr.Whedon and also a bit to myself...here is to us, our manness and our upside down noose tying abilities. Cheers!

Man member # 1,306,212



















Take care Mr.Avenger.  -Josh Flowers

p.s. Next man club footstep to follow in? Let's try for the feature film premiere. It has to be easier than the full Windsor.

Impossible. How many fingers have been lost in this knot?

Dear Joss Whedon,
Today has been a fail. I could have done a great number of productive things. 
My final essays, studied for pathology, practiced guitar, finished a short story, done some meditation, yoga, read my bible, thought of all the things I could write you about. Instead I read a couple of chapters from a book that I have already read before. 
Do you ever have that problem? The problem of seeking easy and familiar because it feels momentarily better than getting things done. It is almost an epidemic really. 


How did you get yourself motivated every day to think of and then create brilliant things? There has to be some sort of secret because Firefly doesn't come from sheer luck. 
BTW I will sign any sort of petition set in front of me stating that we need to get Firefly back on the air. It sincerely saddens me to think that shows that are flopping about, and scrounging for new plot to break ground on are still firmly in their time slots while the insanely wonderful Dollhouse has been ousted. 






But I digress. 
Are there any creative exercises you do? Will you be offering any workshops in the future that I might acquire a pass to?


Any help you can offer me will be met with eager ears.
                                    Awaiting your response,
                                            Erin Michele

Dear Joss Whedon,
I was only a tyke when Buffy: The Vampire Slayer was made into a movie and not quite old enough to stop watching the Disney channel when the show finally came out. 








But when I finally did find Buffy through midnight reruns I knew I had found more than just a show. I found a wonderful world that would speak to many different age groups for years to come. 
I am not one of those people who knows a film by who directed it. You were the first and only director/creator of a show who's career I follow. 
I look forward to many more wonderful things of your doing.


Sincerely,
Erin Michele

P.S. I am in The Avengers. Ya know where Loki tells all the people to kneel? I am the blonde front and center. If you like my work there give me a call and we will talk about what I can do for your next project.

Dear Joss Whedon,
Thank you for The Avengers! Best birthday gift ever!
I mean it's no weapons chest or arm of judge but I'm pretty happy with it.
First time my face will be on a very large screen and you are directing.
This is from when I had to put curlers in so the hair people could go faster. I think I made more of a mess.

Anyway, even though I couldn't score a sweet preview ticket like Flowers (my co-writer) I am really excited to see it at midnight on thursday/friday. It is bound to be amazing. 

Thanks for being terrific,
Erin Michele





Dear Joss Whedon,
Soon I leave to see a preview screening of the Avengers. I hope my fellow Joss Whedon letter writer, Erin Michele Gabbard is featured prominently. 



















Although only a lowly extra I hope she is at least listed as "EXTRA" in all caps. 

My next wish, slightly under my first, is that the movie is awesome. Talk to you soon.  -Josh Flowers

p.s. Thank you for putting her in the trailer (1:23) at least.


 
p.s. My second wish is only lower because I know the movie will be awesome, heh.
