Spike ,'Showtime'
Discussion of Buffy and Angel comics, books, and more. Please don't get into spoilery details in the first week of release.
Y: The Last Man bandwagon since the beginning.
Okay, see, I saw the premise and just *laughed.* I almost bought one, but then decided not to induldge in the male fantasy.
And you cannot imagine how thrilled I am that I do actually understand more of what is talked about in here.
That's the same reason why I didn't pick up the first issue of Y, but the premise is taken far more seriously, and I've been brought around on it.

The way the book has been written is decidedly not the male fantasy.
What are the chances, if any, that Buffy/Angel would ever make the Rubicon float over to the silver screen? Just a thought.
And if there ever were to be a Buffy: The Movie, what kind of activity do you all think would take place that can't make it on network tv? More gory fight scenes could be a possibility, more visceral shots of vamps feeding, I guess.
And of course I'm not counting the Kristy Swanson movie in my thinking here.
Honestly, between Warren's flaying, the Gnarl's dietary habits, and this week's vampire intestine sculpture, I'm not sure they could up the gore/violence quotient within the context of an R rated movie. Any extra latitude would probably be in the way of profane language and nudity.
We could actually hear Spike say "Well you can bleep bleep the bleep bleep, you bleep bleep."
Oh, and by the way, I saw a terrible, terrible, terrible vamp movie last night. Vampires: Los Muertos. Jon Bon Jovi plays the "lead" vamp hunter. This is a baaaaaaaaaaad, baaaaaaaaad, baaaaaaaad movie.
Oy, that was horrible. I regret that I was in the room where that was playing.
I MSTK'ed the hell out of it, though.

But very very funny. They could have increased their return if Jon had a nude scene or two (within the context of the script, of course). It's not like it's beneath him to do one.
Just read Fray #7. I love Urkonn. I can't explain why. He's just so cool -- he's the Shaft of the demon world!
Will wait 2 days for detailed discussion. But a lot pinged with me.
I am praying that we see (S7 speculation) Buffy either find or build the red axe. If that happens, I may pass out.
Jeff, I was thinking the same thing.
And that's all the comment I have until Wednesday.
