Are you excited about The Avengers movie?

Joss Whedon directed and co-wrote the new avengers movie, coming out May 4. Maybe you're already familiar with his work. He's pretty well-known for being the creator of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", first a movie and then a hit tv show, and its spin-off series, "Angel". But did you know he also co-wrote the screenplay for Toy Story? Or that he was the writer and director of the movie Serenity, based on his own much-loved but short-lived tv show "Firefly"? He also created the television series "Dollhouse" as well as the online sensation "Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog". All these items are available through the Washington County Cooperative- check them out today, and see what all the buzz is about!
