Speaking of whitefonting, I've noticed several oblique spoilers for the new seasons that aren't getting called out. An example would be Schmoker making a play on the phrase "First Evil" at the beginning of the new Angel thread .

I hate to say anything about it when it happens, since I usually only notice them hours after they've been posted, and I don't want to have dozens of people reading my complaint and retroactively thinking, "Oh, that's what that meant? Dammit."

I don't want to have dozens of people reading my complaint and retroactively thinking, "Oh, that's what that meant?

This happens ALL THE TIME, probably a little more than you realize (although now that it's pointed out to you, you'll catch it a lot.)

I think about whiting stuff out and such, but usually it's just more effective to not draw attention.

I'm safe. I can barely remember what I wrote two posts ago.

If I inadvertenly posted something that spoiled, please feel free to white it out. I didn't mean to.

What did I say?

No Sesame Street?

Damn. I hate you all.

t sniffles

It's the fever talking....

Aussies have just seen episode 1 in both Buffy S7 and Angel S4.

Perhaps we should have an "Aussie counter" (or a "Backward Antipodean Counter") somewhere on the site so people don't have to keep asking. Low priority feature request?

What did I say?

It was nothing, really. You just mentioned something or other from Buffy in the Angel thread (or maybe it was vice versa--I've honestly forgotten.) There's an ongoing debate about the Buffy and Angel threads being exclusively spoiler-free for each other, which I think is fine, to a point, although I'm not overly fond of the idea myself.

I ital'd most of the show titles in the thread slugs. If ya'll hate it or if I just single-handedly destroyed the functionality of the board, ya'll should let me know.

Some 'movies' quotes:

Buffy: Oh, I don't know. Where do you suppose young kids go on dates these days?
Willow: Well, I read somewhere once that sometimes they go to movies.
Buffy: Movies! Interesting!

Mr. Flutie: See, the problem is you kids today have no school spirit. Hold on, let me get his outfit off. Today it's all gangs and drugs and those movies on Showtime with the nudity. I don't have cable, I only heard. When I was your age we cared about the school's reputation and the football team's record, all that stuff! Of course, when I was your age I was surrounded by old guys telling me how much better things were when they were *my* age.

Giles: Couldn't you just stop Moloch by, by entering some computer virus?
Ms. Calendar: You've seen way too many movies. Okay! We're up. You read, I type. Ready?

Willow: Okay, um...
Xander: It's your turn.
Willow: I, alright, okay, uh... 'In the few hours that we had together, we loved a lifetime's worth.'
Xander: Terminator.
Willow: Good! Great.
Xander: Um, oh, okay, I got one. 'It's a madhouse! A mad...'
Willow: Planet of the Apes.
Xander: Can I finish, please?
Willow: Oh! Sorry, go ahead.
Xander: '...house!'
Willow: Planet of the Apes. Okay, good. Me. Uh...
Xander: Well?
Willow: I'm thinking. 'Use the Force, Luke.'
Xander: Do I even have to dignify that with a guess?
Willow: I couldn't think of anything. It's a dumb game anyway.
Xander: Well, what else do you wanna do? We already played rock, paper, scissors. My hands cramped up.
Willow: Well, yes, if you're always scissors of course your tendons are gonna strain...
Xander: (interrupts) Y'know, I just gotta say that this has been the most boring summer ever.
...
Xander: I got a movie for ya! (taps her nose with his ice cream)
Willow: Xander!
Xander: You're Amish! You can't fight back... 'cause you're Amish! I mock you with my ice cream cone, Amish guy!
Willow: Witness. My nose is cold.

Willow: They could've at least wrapped her in those nice white bandages, like in the movies?

Xander: I hate these guys. Whatever they want just falls into their laps. Don't you hate these guys?
Willow: Yeah, with their charmed lives and their movie star good looks and more money than you can count? I'm hating.

Willy: What are you gonna do with him anyway?
Spike: I'm thinkin' maybe dinner and a movie. I don't want to rush into anything. I've been hurt, you know.

Buffy: When this is over I'm thinking pineapple pizza and teen video movie fest. Possibly something from the Ringwald oeuvre.

Buffy: Exactly. Relax! You earned it. Sit in your seat, you eat your peanuts, you watch the movie, well, unless it's about a dog or Chevy Chase.

Joyce: Do you wanna rent a movie tonight?
Buffy: Sounds like fun.
Joyce: Just nothing with horror in it. Or romance. Or men.
Buffy: I guess we're 'Thelma and Louise'ing it again.

Willow: So did you like the movie last night?
Oz: I don't know. T-today's movies are kind of like popcorn. You know, you forget about them as soon as they're done. I do remember I liked the popcorn, though.
Willow: Yeah, it was good. And I had a really fun time with the rest. I mean, the part with you.

Drusilla: Shhh. (kisses him) How do you feel about eternal life?
Xander: We couldn't just start with a coffee? A movie, maybe?

Xander: Fill me in then, 'cause I've read the book, seen the movie, and I'm still fuzzy about what's going on.

Cordelia: Are you crazy? I saw that movie! Even the priest died.

Buffy: That was very ... artistic.
Angel: Yeah.
Buffy: Wasn't what I expected. I've never actually seen... Well, from the title I thought it was about food.
Angel: Well there was food.
Buffy: Right. The, the scene with the, the food. So, feel like getting some hot chocolate? Or some cold shower?
Angel: I'm sorry. I wanted to take you out somewhere fun. It's been a long time since I've been to the movies. They changed.
Buffy: A little scary. And a little not, which is also scary. I'm sorry. I just, I don't like getting you worked up like that. We can't actually do any of those things. You'd lose your soul. Besides, I don't even own a kimono.
Angel: Buffy, you don't have to worry about me.

Buffy: What'd you do? What'd you see?
Xander: Well...
Buffy: Tell me!
Xander: 'Grand Canyon!'
Buffy: You saw the Grand Canyon!
Xander: Well, I saw the movie 'Grand Canyon,' on cable. Really lame.
Buffy: Hunh?

Olivia: "Sorry I'm so late. Flight was a horror."
Giles: "Bad weather?"
Olivia: "Baseball movie."

Xander: Quick pretend to make out with me!
Buffy: What!? What are you talking about?
Xander: Well, I, uh, you know, in the movies, the guy and the girl have to hide.

XANDER: Well, we got plenty of vids. And I'm putting in a preemptive bid for "Apocalypse Now," huh?
WILLOW: Did you get anything less heart-of-darkness-y?
XANDER: Apocalypse Now is a gay romp! It's the feel-good movie of whatever year it was.
BUFFY: What else?
XANDER: Don't worry. Got plenty of chick-and-British-guy flicks too. These puppies should last us all night.

BUFFY: You think I don't watch your movies? You always come back.

And the sequel:

BUFFY: Oh, give me a break! This is all wrong. See, first you would get the big guy, with a flying kick. Then you would take out all the little ones, bam, ba- see, now with the flying kick. From a dead stop! What's powering it, raw enthusiasm?
RILEY: Hey Buff, maybe you oughta leave the work behind sometimes. You're not always on slayer duty, you know?
BUFFY: It would drive you crazy if we were watching an army movie and they were all saluting backwards and ... invading all willy-nilly. And anyway, I mean, you know, you can't blame me for being critical. Willow's the same way when we watch a, a movie about witches, right Xander?
XANDER: What? Oh yeah, she's all like, "What's that, a cauldron? Who uses a cauldron any more?"

BUFFY: I thought it was gonna be like in the movies. You know, inspirational music ... a montage, me sharpening my pencils, me reading, writing, falling asleep on a big pile of books with my glasses all crooked, 'cause in my montage I have glasses. But real life is slow, and it's starting to hurt my occipital lobe.

XANDER: Okay, how's about a movie? They're showing them in theaters now. I hear it's like watching a video with a bunch of strangers and a sticky floor.
DAWN: That one looks sad.
XANDER: The chimp playing hockey? Is that based on the Chekhov?
ANYA: There's a chimp playing hockey?
DAWN: Um, no, the other one. I don't wanna see a sad movie.
ANYA: We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this.
XANDER: You pick, Dawn. This is your night. We are celebrating your mom's good news.
ANYA: (softly) Go monkey. Choose monkey.

ANYA: If you ever decide to go, I want a warning. You know, big flashing red lights, and-and-and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie? And there's a whole bunch of, of colored wires, and I'm not sure which is the right one to cut, but I guess the green one, and then at the last second "No! The red one!" and then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left, but then you don't leave. Like that, okay?
XANDER: Check. Big bomb clock.

DAWN: Well, geez, don't get all movie-of-the-week. I was just too cheap to buy a real present.

WILLOW: What did you think, Buffy?
BUFFY: The test isn't till tomorrow, right? I don't have an opinion till then.
WILLOW: But, you read it, right?
BUFFY: Kinda not. I rented the movie.
TARA: Oh, with, um, with Charles Laughton?
BUFFY: I don't know. Was he one of the singing gargoyles?
WILLOW: Oh boy.

XANDER: Yes. You are a monster. Vampires are monsters. They make monster movies about them.

ANDREW: We are really super-villains now, like ... like Dr. No.
WARREN: Yeah, back when Bond was Connery, and movies were decent.
JONATHAN: Who remembers Connery? I mean, Roger Moore was smooth.
WARREN: You're insane. You're short, and you're insane.
ANDREW: I like Timothy Dalton!

BUFFY: Oh, you'll figure it out. I'm just worried this whole session's gonna turn into some training montage from an 80's movie.
GILES: Ah. Well, if we hear any inspirational power chords, we'll just lie down until they go away.

WARREN: Ah, now, there's the vault.
ANDREW: I still say we're gonna need eight other guys to pull this off.
WARREN: I never should have let you see that movie.
