Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Treat Your Woman Like A Man - As an icon of feminism, all Wonder Woman has ever wanted is equal opportunities. Don't pander to the Oprah crowd to get women into the theater; but don't skank her out for the "Maxim" readers, either. Ignore her gender and concentrate on making a great superhero movie.

There are at least two comic book shops on the same street as the Warner Bros. lot — let me know if you want me to MapQuest directions for you.
Hee. We go to those!
It's MTV. They hate all music they don't profit off of.
I think Wonder Woman dreams of a world where a) ignoring gender isn't necessary, and b) ignoring gender != treating you like a man.
And one where the genders are not divided into "the Oprah crowd" and "the Maxim readers".
Me, I'd like a double scoop of "none of the above".
ignoring gender != treating you like a man
It doesn't?

Huh. They didn't like the musical ep. Oh, well.
You were hired, Joss, because your "Buffy" so brilliantly walked the tightrope between camp humor and credibility for seven memorable seasons. With the exception of that musical episode, you can simply glance back at those old formulas to achieve that "X-Men"-type combination of not veering too far toward the camp that sank "Batman & Robin" or the self-importance that dragged down "Hulk."
Nor is this goink apparently aware that Joss did script work on X-Men.
Hey Fanboy, next time you plan on taking someone to task over work they're about to do, try to be aware of their credits.
And one where the genders are not divided into "the Oprah crowd" and "the Maxim readers".
Well, I thought that part was about dividing the stereotypical portrayals of women, and not meant to account for us all. That bit I'm fine with, because I don't want to see either Diana.
edit:
Nor is this goink apparently aware that Joss did script work on X-Men.
Maybe the writer thought having Joss's work almost all tossed meant it didn't count. No, still confusing.
Nor is this goink apparently aware that Joss did script work on X-Men.
Nor, apparently, that Joss is currently writing one of the X-Men books.
I don't have a problem with the article. But the author, while having a real point of view about Wonder Woman, didn't know anything about Whedon. I mean, if you really did watch Buffy, wouldn't you incorporate that into your whole "teaching a writer about female superheroes" rant? Or maybe leave out the part about casting Rob Schneider and spending a bunch of time on costumes?
