::suspects once again that D. Griswold is, in fact, a 14 y.o. girl::
Of course. I like Buffy.
ETA: But also, seriously, girl has skills. She should go do theater for a while or something: fantastic comedic timing, and a very nice voice too.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Of course. I like Buffy.

Hey. New board.
Seriously, whenever I admit my teen girl interests (books, movies, I love all of it and admit it freely), my Buffy interest is ALWAYS included by the uninitiated. A large portion of the world, at least in my generation, sees Buffy as a chick flick show on par with Dawson's Creek, only stupider because it has vampires.
I have a hard time defending it because I'm all "Hey! Buffy's totally not a show that only appeals to teen girls!" and they're all "Um, look at your bookshelf. You have all of the Princess Diaries novels. They're next to the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ones. You were saying?" and I say "Yes, okay, those are girly. But not Buffy!" and they're all like "Uh-huh. Sure. Go read your pink books and let the grownups talk about The Sopranos and Friends and other shows for big people."
It's very annoying.
In pretty much entirely unrelated info, and also (bonus!) on topic, Anne Hathaway has a role in that movie where Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are lovers, which I'm certain will have major Buffista attendance.
Oh, and Batman is real good too, and I want to see it again. Also, the Brooklyn Academy of Music is showing most of Johnny Depp's movies over the next three weekends, and I'm gonna try to catch at least some of the ones I've not seen. Plus Ed Wood. So that's exciting.

Gris, if you're at all into anime, Anne Hathaway voices the lead character in "The Cat Returns." It's a fun bit of fluff from Miyazaki's Studio Ghibi (but not a Miyazaki film as such). She does a fantastic job.

Saw the trailer for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night and I've been pondering one question ever since.
Why if the Golden Ticket contest is "world wide" are all the winning children white?
Hmmmm....?

My question was "Why is Johnny Depp channelling Carol Channing?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because Roald Dahl only wrote about white protagonists.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Most of the characters are bland, but not Johnny. He's extreme. Whenever he comes onscreen, punk music blares, he does a Mountain Dew commercial stunt and starts making out with one or two chicks
So, they've turned Johnny Storm into Poochie? Go team Hollywood.

I had to read that post way too many times (considering the word "Storm" is in it) to make it about F4 and not Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.
