It seems I am an inadvertant guest blogger on the media studies blog, Church of the Sonic Death Monkey, run by my friend Trevor Byrne-Smith. The subject of course, is the dark shadow of the "Buffy" movie.
Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Off topic, but nice commentary on Jon Stewart's segment on the White House poetry jam (and the media's typcially hyperventilating coverage of same).

Yeah, the Daily Show post was a good one. It's amazing to me that the complainers are so un-self-aware, that they can't see they are perpetuating the exact stereotypes they're fighting against (i.e. humorless self-importance).

This one needs to be in spoiler font - "Now a Broadway star, Michael is our second-most-famous student, after reality-show star Harmony Kendall. (Hi, Harm!)"
I love that they are following comics continuity.

The guy who wrote that, Clinton McClung, is an acquaintance and is definitely a HUGE Buffy fan.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Joss appeared at a university the other night and spoke about the Buffy movie. He said, essentially, when he first sold the script, he sold the full movie rights but kept the TV rights (nobody protested it because who would make a TV series called 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'?). He thinks he has no say in it, because the rights are elsewhere. And, well, he's probably right.

Always Anti-fascist!
So, I guess it's all up to Billy Walsh, uh, Ms. Kuzui...sorry, been making that mistake a lot lately...my bad. I know...they should get Kevin Smith and make "Chasing Buffy". (I might actually watch that.)
