'The Message'

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Film and TV discussion

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Probably, as your firsthand reports match with the ones I saw last year from a friend who had family working on one of his projects.

Aside from other people's tales, I've had maybe 10 minutes of face-time with him myself over the years. Some of them back in early '98 when he wasn't yet a good enough actor to have fooled me if he were really a jerk rather than jovial and friendly.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I wonder if he was trying to be over the top in a goofy way

That's my take on it. But in an audio-only format, it's sometiimes difficult to get the goofy across.

Who? moi??

I think the DB commentary was scripted and he read it.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

I wonder if he was trying to be over the top in a goofy way, because I've only ever heard he's absolutely lovely, too.

I think I'll go with this, because I really want to think of him as a nice guy, and not incredibly full of himself. I'll call it an experiment gone bad, but good, because if you're not willing to fail, you're unlikely to really succeed.

That sounds so cliche. Oh, well.

Compassionately intolerant

That's interesting. Huh. What leads you to that conclusion?

I wonder how often that happens, now that you mention it.

Um.

I think the DB commentary was scripted and he read it.

Heh. I wouldn't go that far. It seemed to me as if he was just excited about his directoral debut, and just wanted to talk about it. Lots of trivia about camera moves and angles, plenty of praise for the actors and writer, and some commentary about the problems he encountered (especially having to cut things due to time constraints). Seemed like pretty standard fare for a director.

It did amuse me how different he sounded compared to his Angel voice.

Who? moi??

I think we are talking about two different commentaries.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

On my way home the other night, I saw a PT Cruiser in front of me with the license plate "BTVS." I joked with the BF that it must be a Buffy fan. Then, the numbers after BTVS hit me: 730. The license plate was "BTVS 730." That just can't be a coincidence. So, there's a big ol' Buffy fan drivng around Oak Park, Illinois in a purple PT Cruiser.

What is even happening?

Oh, I want that plate. I think our plates still only have 6 characters, though.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I know this is going to be a D'uoh moment, but what is the significance of the 730?
