Don't get me wrong, folks: Joss Whedon is one of the good guys. "Firefly" is one of my favorite television shows, and though I never quite understood the "Buffy" love, I don't begrudge it, either. But Whedon has left me slightly dismayed with a nugget he shared on the weekly Geeks On podcast:

"I hate Weird Science not a little," Whedon said during the podcast, which was devoted to the theme of artificial intelligence. "I find it offensive, the boy fantasy of building a girl. Obviously, we were doing the nasty version of it [in Buffy the Vampire Slayer], because I find it grotesque." (Source)

Dude. You belittle Weird Science?

And man: That's Kelly LeBrock in her prime -- there are more than a few women who switched teams in their teens thanks to that flick. I appreciate the sentiment, Joss, but I think you're distaste for Weird Science is misguided.

She has not aged well, however, so I'll give you that:
