I hate musicals.







I REALLY hate musicals.









But...







Joss Whedon is my hero.









So what's a guy to do when he hears his hero is creating something he hates as an experiment that damed well deserves support? He suffers, that's what he bloody well does because there's nothing else he can do. He takes it like a man to support Joss in his endeavors because the man deserves a… Continue
