No -- let me c&P:

The insider guide to forthcoming attractions, by Nicola Christie

Anthony Head can currently be seen alongside Richard E Grant in London's West End, playing a gloriously drunk journalist in Simon Gray's Otherwise Engaged. And the two look set to collaborate again, in a film that Grant has written - based on his 1998 comic novel By Design - in which Head will play a transvestite.

"The story is really about what goes on in the making of a movie, as opposed to the PR version," says Grant.

"I need an interior designer and a masseuse, but I would really like to direct Tony as a transvestite, so I'm trying to work in a character." Supposing he does, would Head be game to get in touch with his feminine side? "Absolutely," he says. "I really love Richard. It would be great to be directed by him. And I have good legs."

Thanks Sumi!

Guys, my memory and Google are both failing me.

Can you remember any of the magic texts mentioned by name in Buffy? I can't even remember the one Giles slams down on the desk in WTTH, which I should be able to remember given it's in the credits.

Sigh.

I thought that one just said "VAMPYR" in huge gothy gilt letters.

Others -- I want to say -- Pergamum Codex? Oh, and the Books of Ascension.

Does it have to specifically be BTVS? Can it be AtS? Because Angel's shanshu was in the Prophecies of Aberjian.

There are some listed here -- with other magical objects.

Or you could look under the category "books."

Thank you, Sumi! That was just what I needed! And thanks for the "Vampyr" book, Steph; I was blanking on that.

Ash talking about Doctor Who.

Buffy Returns To Comics November 10, 2005 Joss Whedon has revealed that he will script the first four issues of a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer series for Dark Horse, and oversee subsequent issues. The book will take place after the end of Buffy and Angel, and as he put it in a post on Whedonesque.com, "be canon in the Buffy world." Whedon's story arc will place Buffy living in Italy with The Immortal.

Whedon also said that he's continuing to try to develop a Spike movie, but had no specific dates set.

I'm afraid my main reaction to that news is that I want closed canon, dammit! Closed!

I might feel differently if I were a comics person, of course.

Oh, I think your reaction is what I've heard most often among the Buffistas. I'm pretty sure it's the majority opinion (here at least - maybe in LJ-land).

Personally, I'm happy to see it go forward.
