When the possibility of this movie came up before I think I remember reading that they would have the rights to the movie characters but not the TV characters, is that right?
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.
Buffy ,'Potential'
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have never wanted to procreate more than I do right now, just so I can say this:
I'm a goddamn baby-making, life taking MACHINE! Why should I care how many people I have to kill? I can just make MORE in my TUMMY!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I think that's right, sj. So for all those Pike fans out there, their moment has finally arrived.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Puffy?

Doesn't work.

Bike totally works. In a fandom-bike-everyone-rides-them sort of way.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Maybe it's like Springtime for Hitler and they need the tax write-off.
As always, I love erika.
I am never ready for a crappy remake of a great original which has an entire SERIES full of awesome.
How long was it between The Addams Family show and movies? (I know, not the same ballpark, but the movies were pretty awesome.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
According to IMDB, the series ended in '66, first movie in '91, so 25 years.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, fuck no! No, no, no, the Kuzui's have NOTHING to do with Buffy except some goddamn paperwork. This will be horrible. I can't watch.
Roven added: “There is an active fan base eagerly awaiting this character’s return…While this is not your high-school Buffy, she’ll be just as witty, tough and sexy as we all remember her to be.”
Um, hi? That "active fan base" would crawl over glass, maybe, for a Whedon return, but there is no "active fan base" (at least not one with which I wish to be connected) that is looking forward to this.
Unless pigs start flying outta my ass, and this girl with no experience writing is a frickin' genius and they can pull off a Buffy who's not SMG (because of the massive association of the role with her), this will be a travesty.
Batman reboots work because fucking worked because Batman wears a goddamned SUIT, and people are invested in Batman, not ___________ as Bruce Wayne. Buffy is always Buffy. And to have a different Scooby gang? A Watcher?? There's no way this is gonna end well.
UGH. NAST. BLEARGH.
...ok, I just had to get that out. Whew.
