Still Unsure About Dollhouse
Now, I’m as big a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as the next guy (well… okay, the last couple of seasons left something to be desired.) But Faith rocks my world in a major way. I love what Eliza Dushku does with that character! So when Dollhouse was announced, created by Joss Whedon and starring Eliza Dushku, I was excited! Then the launch of the series was plagued with problems, and that worried me a bit. But when Ducky posted a clip from the TV show, I rushed over to see it.
Let me just say that after watching that clip, I thought I’d stumbled on some sort of parody by The Onion. I think it’s perfectly dreadful! Needless to say, I’m a little worried about the show.
Then a recent of issue of Entertainment Weekly reviewed the Dollhouse trailer, giving it an A. Well, I was a little shocked, thinking that the wooden, poorly written scene above was what they were reviewing. Thankfully, that was not the case. The new trailer, edit in the style of a movie trailer, was a lot more fun and a lot more intriguing that that clip above. Even though it uses the “Was I asleep?” tag not once but twice. (That blonde guy couldn’t be more annoying if he was shooting me with spitballs.) At any rate, the trailer at least looks like fun, and maybe I’ll be able to enjoy Eliza Dushku kicking some ass in her inimitable style. Check out the trailer and skip the clip above if you want to remain hopeful.
