If they go the Twilight/Anita Blake route, it will become a hilarious parody. Unintentionally, of course, which will make it even funnier.
Then we can laugh not only at the movie, but at all the groupies who will take it so very seriously. Come on, you know there's a billion teenage girls who weren't quite old enough for Twilight, but will be hitting puberty right about the time this movie comes out, and they'll lurve it. We must think of the children. The pubescent girl-children who will need a disturbing, thinly-veiled sexual metaphor to fixate on.
And the dialog! Can you imagine these poor writers trying to sound like Joss Whedon without copying him directly?
Yeah. But I'm the do-that girl.
I think that we should all try to go on the same night (I will be buying a ticket to something else and sneaking in. I'd even buy a ticket to a Will Farrell movie, which says something about how much I do not want to support this movie) and then do a massive post posting.
Oh we should. We should agree to support the same art house movie or something, get the brown coats involved and this might actually get a small movie some notice.
Pop quiz, first answer that comes to your mind only:
How many times has Joss killed Buffy?
Exactly what I thought. What I had no idea about was that there was contention she died when she was shot by Warren and was then revived. Which I think is a bunch of non-Occamy bullshit.
But he did kill her in the Wishverse too. So while I say Buffy died twice, Joss killed Buffy three times also seems accurate.
Follow my intricate semantic steps without getting dizzy.
I go with three times, myself (with The Wish).
But he did kill her in the Wishverse too. So while I say Buffy died twice, Joss killed Buffy three times also seems accurate.
I knew there was technically one other death. The Wish definitely counts. I also though about Nightmares, but I don't think the dreams ever became real reality.
Warren's shooting of Buffy definitely doesn't count.
Edited for an attempt at clarity.
