Snyder ,'Chosen'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
The delivery messed up that line, though.
I have a hard time imagining that line as good in any delivery, but I do agree that Halle's couldn't have been any more wrong, which is why I said "Halle's awful 'toad' bit" as opposed to Joss'. Just to be clear.
I can see the line as being completely unremarkable, delivered as intended. Which would do wonders for Joss's box score, since the "You're a dick" was hands down my favourite of the movie. "The same thing that happens to anything else." keeps his average squarely at zero, since it was the only other line I remembered, for opposite reasons.
But, it does mean I got to see Joss trash Halle in print, so it may almost have been worth it. Especially if she's too special to make #3 and gets recast.
"You're a dick" was definitely one of the best lines in the first movie, so yeah, Joss can hold his head up high on that one.
"I am psychic, you know," was also a pretty memorable line, IMHO.
Kitty Pryde? Is that Shadowcat? (showing knowledge of X-Men that is lacking). Do you guys see the influences of Kitty on Buffy?

Well,they're both spunky.
I think Kitty would be more an influence on Willow than Buffy.
Well, he may be thinking about the classic Kitty Pryde character.
She sort of went off to join Excalibur, the UK branch of mutant-dom, for most of the late 80s and 90s, and started shagging Pete Wisdom, an older, ex-spook mutant of some indeterminate power. They rebooted her in the late 90s, brought her back to her, umm, more innocent state and last I checked, she was taking classes in a Chicago area university.

I don't see how she maps, apart from age, to Buffy all that neatly.

Well, at a guess, I think it may be because Kitty was supposed to be the one the reader was supposed to associate with. She had superhuman powers, certainly, but on the whole, she remained a "normal" young woman, while still being a hero.
