The Glade 4.0 :: View topic

thanks for getting me stuck on a very old TV show I should've watched YEARS ago. :twisted:

How? How can this be NEW?

Do you not know Whedon is god?
Do you not know Sarah Michelle Gellar is cute and sexy?
That Alyson Hannigan is one of the most perfect women to walk the Earth?
That Anthony Stewart Head is raw talent in an odd but endearing form?
That Seth Green is funny and vulnerable?

Eliza Dushku... Julie Benz... David Boreanaz... James Marsters... Emma Caulfield... Nicholas Brendon... Michelle Trachtenberg... Charisma Carpenter... Kristine Sutherland... Armin Shimmerman... so many good players and so many good performances.

Really, the list of talent on Buffy is roughly equivalent in length if not pedigree to Arrested Development.

I went through a short Buffy phase, then I realized the show was pretty cheesy . . .

Similar to my relationship with the Xena and Hercules shows, but they were ultimately more entertaining.

Atlas Entertainment announced today it is rebooting the beloved franchise, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with Warner Bros. Pictures. Atlas’ Charles Roven and Steve Alexander will produce the feature film alongside Doug Davison and Roy Lee of Vertigo Entertainment (The Ring, How to Train Your Dragon, The Departed). Whit Anderson is writing the script.

“Whit approached us with an exciting idea about how to update Buffy,” said Roven. “There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character’s return to the big screen. We’re thrilled to team up with Doug and Roy on a re-imagining of Buffy and the world she inhabits. Details of the film are being kept under wraps, but I can say while this is not your high school Buffy, she’ll be just as witty, tough, and sexy as we all remember her to be.”

And that's it. No mention of Joss Whedon or Sarah Michelle Gellar, as presumably this reboot will be done with neither party involved. Whedon had been offered the film at one point, but he shot them down as he didn't like the studio's new plan for the character.

I still contend Nicholas Brendan would have made a better Peter Parker than Tobey.

He hasn't aged well.

He does have an identical twin brother, however, which makes certain special effects rather awesome.

Dollhouse would be my least favorite. It lacked Whedon's typical comedic spark. I blame that on the fact that it's really Eliza Dushku's series, from the ground up. She just brought Whedon into it because she needed a producer with experience and credibility.

I honestly just never had any desire to watch the show. I was good with the movie. Some of my biggest issues (no longer the case) were the differences between the show show and the movie. Like how did she go from being a senior to a sophomore? And the way the vampires look in the show... or the fact that they are really demons not just vampires. These are no longer concerns; but they were

Just wait, now this means you also have to watch every episode of Angel.

Yes; but this is all made less painful by Netflix than if i had been required to purchase the boxed sets.

Speaking of Buffy/Angel, this is handy for people watching through both sets of shows, as the shows occasionally intertwine, and this site will help you watch them in order. http://www.simonhampel.com/buffy.html

Psh. I didn't even MENTION the Felicia Day guest spot. The wife wants to be the 10.5th Doctor (sandwiched between Tennant and Smith)... I'd get in the Willow Penny sandwich line faster than Barney Stinson would suit up. Rowr!

It's the alcoholism that likely aged him more than time. That and the weight gain--followed by weight loss. Only place i ever see him is as a recurring character on Criminal Minds.

She just brought Whedon into it because she needed a producer with experience and credibility. That's not what I read at all (or saw on the dollhouse special features). From the dollhouse Wiki: In 1994, Whedon wrote an unproduced spec script for a feature film named Afterlife, which features several elements that would later appear in Dollhouse. A middle-aged scientist dies and is mind-transferred to a younger body. He lives in a secret facility with other mind-printed scientists run by a government agency called the Tank. The scientist escapes to be with his wife, but discovers his body is that of a notorious serial killer, putting him on the run from the Tank and the detective who caught the killer. Also, his body's original personalities start to reassert themselves. Dollhouse was created during a lunch between Joss Whedon and Eliza Dushku where they discussed her career and her recent development deal with Fox. Inspired by Dushku's life as an actress, Whedon came up with the premise of people who were hired out to be everybody's fantasy. He pitched Dollhouse to Fox two weeks before the 2007-2008 WGA strike and got a seven-episode order without even having begun to write a pilot episode.

Back in '99 when there was talk of Spider Man, he would have been good at it. Right build, right face, and snappy quips and come-backs seemed to flow more naturally from his mouth than Tobey's.

Buffy is probably my least favorite Whedon series. I say that in a purely comparative nature.
