I've said ...This essay is a thing of beauty. <br /><br />I've said for years that Luke Perry is the only actor who realizes he's in a Joss Whedon production — nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks so. (It's all in the line delivery. The "I'm hungry." / "You're floating!" exchange could have played exactly the same on the show.)Alexandrahttp://capesforladies.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20081408.post-41768109673245651672009-08-07T20:13:02.007-07:002009-08-07T20:13:02.007-07:00Interesting 'insider' info and meta on, we...Interesting 'insider' info and meta on, well - everything. I've always loved the movie, and never understood why people hated it so. It came first, and gave us the *idea* that a cute, perky blonde could be the hero. It got refined on TV, but the germination process started with Ms. Swanson and Mr. Haur, and I, for one, enjoy every moment of it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17748155896905275353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20081408.post-47390731375081313232009-08-07T10:23:04.551-07:002009-08-07T10:23:04.551-07:00It's worth watching the movie for comparison A...It's worth watching the movie for comparison AND to see the best and longest vampire death ever...Fixerupperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08389914475622419449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20081408.post-29494650488102048352009-08-07T10:18:16.615-07:002009-08-07T10:18:16.615-07:00Excellent article.

I'll have what he's smoking. I don't know what stage the new BTVS film is but without Joss it's only purpose will be to illustrate the short-comings of Fran and Rebel Kuzai.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720942891696241106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20081408.post-38022122811837348562009-08-07T09:55:33.323-07:002009-08-07T09:55:33.323-07:00I wrote my own column about the Buffy movie on my ...I wrote my own column about the Buffy movie on my website at http://www.impalergeneral.com/BTVSmovie.html. Your essay is more extensive about comparing the movie to what was to come years later. I concentrated on the public's response to the movie, and how it could be fodder for the late, lamented MST3K. You have some very good points about how we should recognize the original movie as the source of the TV show we know and love.David Mellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929971952839025352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20081408.post-65096063849601279712009-08-07T08:12:01.799-07:002009-08-07T08:12:01.799-07:00Although I've always avoided the movie, this i...Although I've always avoided the movie, this is the first description or analysis that has ever tempted me to go watch it.
