Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
No cure has yet been found.

While I was disappointed to hear that SMG didn't want to do any Buffy movies, I wasn't disappointed in her, if that makes any sense. It seemed perfectly reasonable that she might be tired of the character after 7 years and not want to return to it. Ditto for DB being tired of playing Angel 14 hours a day year round and only wanting to continue in a new format.
Not wanting to return to a character unless the co-workers whose show added a year to your career are shunted to the side to give you center stage seems rather more self-aggrandizing to me. And I think I'd still feel that way if the comments were coming from Alyson Hannigan, J. August Richards, Amy Acker, or another actor whose character I'd actually be interested in seeing more of.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think he was saying, I have played this character as a sidekick for 8 years. if I am going to commit to returning to him, I want to play him a the center of a the story. I want to play Spike as the person who does things, rather than the guy who snarks at people doing things. That doesn't seem odd to me. If any of the Scoobs said the same thing I would understand it.

I agree. I think Tim makes a good point too, in that most actors would be thinking the same thing, and JM had the candor to say it, and it's not like he said it in a nasty way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm not so much put off by his wanting to be the main character as his specifically mentioning other actors and saying it would be okay if they were in his movie but only if they don't upstage him. It seems a pointlessly petty way of getting his point across.

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
I will eat my cat if this movie actually happens.

I wish I'd gotten a hug from Tim instead of a migraine Thursday night.
Hey, I wish I'd gotten a hug from Tim instead of a migraine last night.
Tim, if you prevent migraines, do you make house calls?
