Spike ,'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.
Alyson Hannigan is 31. She was 23 when Buffy began. If she were 24 now, that would have made her 16 when Buffy began, which would have been far too close to the age she played for it to have been allowed.
(SMG was the youngest member of the cast, and she was 20 when Buffy began.)

Not allowed? Why?
[Ewan] just breaks my heart in the big final battle scene.
Does he sing "Come What May," while his TB-infected hooker girlfriend dies in a shower of rose petals at his feet?
Sorry; complete other rant. I hate the Hooker With a Heart of Gold storyline, even when the hoor is as heart-stoppingly beautiful as Kidman was in Moulin Rouge.

I'm right there with you, honey.
I hate the Hooker With a Heart of Gold storyline
Especially when the hooker won't put out just ONE MORE TIME, even to save the life or livelihood of her beloved. C'mon now. Who hasn't been all up in there yet?
Not allowed? Why?
I was joking. In a non-funny fashion. One of my pet peeves that twenty-somethings are so often cast as teens.
"all up in there"?
Wait, you're advocating for Our Hero to have sex with a consumptive with active symptoms? I think, given my druthers, I'd prefer not to share such intimate things as bedsheets, rose petals, drinking glasses or my personal mucus membranes with a consumptive if it is all the same with you all.
Not being a fan of getting consumption myself, you know.
(Yes, I'm aware people did it all the time with consumptives, back in the day, but they also performed surgery without handwashing or anaesthetic, and I'm not a fan of that practice either.)
(Can you tell I never saw that movie?)
She doesn't want her to screw the hero. She's doing that anyway. She wants her to screw the gross bad guy so that the Show May Go On and they can live Happily Ever After.
To be fair, it was Ewan's character that didn't want her screwing him. It drove him a little mad.
Ewan suffers very nicely. Very nicely indeed.
