More from Mutant Enemy Protest Day on 12/07/2007:

Nice fan report blog here:

http://www.mycelebrityencounters.com/mutantenemyday.php

Lots of info on all the ME celebrities and writers that showed up, including some verbage on Eliza:

Quote:

Monique's main goal for the day, (and probably Vincent's too) was to meet Eliza Dushku, who arrived towards the end of the day. She is so incredibly beautiful. She posed for a picture on the condition that she got to hold one of our picket signs. We had to think about it, but in the end we agreed. Monique got to talk to her a little bit about Doll House, and let her know that we fully believed Faith was a way better slayer than Buffy. She replied with something Faith like, "Right on"...Then she moved on to her other adoring fans.

Sounded like a cool moment in meeting her. Love the ''right on'' bit too. Thanks for the info Tru!

IGN coverage of ME day!

"Eliza Dushku also told me she was glad to see so many fans joining the writers and actors on the picket line, remarking "I think it's impressive and it's strong and it's really showing what these people are made of. Their support is deep that they'll walk the walk. We all will." Duskhu said that for her the strike was about the writers "Being taken care of properly in the fairest way, so we'll stand here and support that as long as it takes."

IGN TV: When this is all over, what can you say about Dollhouse and what it will deliver?
Whedon: What can I say about the show? Well, first of all, have you seen Eliza?! It's basically going to deliver as many different genres and as many different identities and as many different rhythms and feelings with Eliza. And that was the idea of it, was a show that would keep both of us on our toes and that would really challenge us, both in terms of storytelling and in terms of the morality of the show. It's very dark and very weird. Eliza is a good, smart, liberal, dedicated person, who wants to make a show of substance. When we had lunch and I came up with this idea, she got it instantly. She got the humanity of it. She's perfect for it. It's really about showing America how much Eliza can do that she hasn't had a chance to do yet.

"Have you seen Eliza?!"

Great interview - much more at linky!

From Bostonherald.com - By Webmaster - 2007-12-11
Joss Whedon - Writers ready to strike Cambridge chord
Joss Whedon as writer, producer, director & composer on Buffy, Angel & Firefly

The Writers Guild strike currently crippling Hollywood moves to Massachusetts Friday when marquee TV writers Joss Whedon, Rob Kutner and Jaime Paglia throw a “Boston TV Party” to fuel support for the picket-sidelined scribes.

“This is the first of what we hope will be many more events like it in cities around the country,” said Paglia, a Cambridge homey who is the writer/producer of the Sci Fi Channel’s No. 1 hit “Eureka.”

“We’ve had great fan outreach in support of the Guild and this is a way to get even more people involved,” he said.

In addition to Paglia, Whedon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel”) and Kutner, of “The Daily Show,” - who were picked for rally duty because of their hardcore fanbase - the union is expecting several celebrity guests to join the TV Party.

And apparently, out in La-La, the picket lines have been rather festive ! Fans from as far away as England have flocked to the Left Coast to walk arm-in-arm with their favorite writers, make picket signs and bring the strikers snacks.

Some 12,000 screenwriters walked off the job in early November in a dispute with Hollywood film and TV producers over online revenue. The union wants a 2percent share of the profits from films and TV shows made available online.

The producers are balking and the dispute has already thrown the fall TV season into turmoil, with many shows already in reruns and reality TV taking over the airwaves.

“Before you know it, it will be ‘Dancing with Celebrity Star Pets,’ ” Paglia said. “It’s gonna get ugly.”

On Friday, the festivities begin at the Meeting House of the First Parish Unitarian Church in Cambridge, where writers and celebrities will speak. Then the strikers and fans will march across Harvard Square to the Harvard Lampoon building for a rally.

“We encourage people to bring their own picket signs, (tasteful slogans please,)” the union says in a press release, “and look forward to having writers and fans march side by side in support of the people who provide the content that gives the studios and television networks their record profits.”

Wonder if Eliza might be one of the celebrity guests? It's not that far from Boston and Watertown. There is a heavy snowstorm over the Northeast US tonight, so ?

Tash the Vampire Slayer · 12-13-2007, 08:53 PM

Depends on her filming schedule as well for The Thacker Case

**andrew r** · 12-14-2007, 03:25 PM

You're right there Tash.

Tash the Vampire Slayer · 12-14-2007, 06:26 PM

With being a supporting part though she may only film for a couple of weeks and then be free to attend. I could see her wanting to be at her Hometown rally.

ThisYearsGuy · 12-14-2007, 07:18 PM

Haha I hadn't noticed that "Not 5 by 5" bit before - superb!

**andrew r** · 12-15-2007, 04:59 PM

I hadn't either. But that's Eliza's made that saying her own now.

schmemmm · 12-16-2007, 07:19 PM

Tash the Vampire Slayer · 12-17-2007, 05:22 AM

I cant be bothered looking for her bit. What does she say?

**andrew r** · 12-17-2007, 02:54 PM

I'll have to go and see, thanks schmemmm.

lovely_disaster · 12-18-2007, 12:34 PM

Wow, she's so cute! I'm really glad Joss sees so much potential in her. Gotta love her and her acting! Thanks for the pics guys!

Right on, Joss.
Thank you Joss, not only for giving Eliza a chance to show her real talent, but also for giving us a chance to see more of Eliza
