Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Hey. New board.
Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?
I was raised in the 80s. By the time I was looking at comic strips, Peanuts was WELL past its peak. Calvin and Hobbes was my love.
I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gris, I was raised in the 80s too. And the Peanuts talk made me click around in Wikipedia to refresh my memory, and I was surprised by how much I'd been exposed to the characters. I don't really like the strip much because it's not that funny and it spoiled Citizen Kane for me, but it's so much of a cultural thing.

move out and draw fire

Heh. I remember reading that strip when I was like 4, and totally not getting it. But the spoilage for Citizen Kane is so pervasive I can't blame Peanuts.
(And being raised in the 80s doesn't excuse the lack of Pooh)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My father collected the books, back in the day, so I know the print version quite well. However, I just within the past few years saw the Christmas Special for the first time, and I still haven't seen any of the others (that I recall). I may be Sally, but mostly by default.

I make no excuses for that. Well, other than "My parents didn't read it to me." Not sure why - I got plenty of other books.

I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.I don't remember that one. I think I'm a snob about which Charlie Brown TV movies I accept as canon.

Awww, c'mon that's one of the few theatrically released movies that's good. Don't you remember the word he misspelled?
JZ and I caught Snoopy Come Home on TiVo and she was getting all caught up in it and knew the songs.

Was it Snoopy Come Home, or another? I don't remember the spelling bee, which doesn't mean I didn't see the film; I just can't remember it.
