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.
You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Okay, see, I saw the premise and just *laughed.* I almost bought one, but then decided not to induldge in the male fantasy.
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
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.

What I love most about you core whores: the foreplay .... tina F.
Vampires: Los Muertos. Jon Bon Jovi plays the "lead" vamp hunter. This is a baaaaaaaaaaad, baaaaaaaaad, baaaaaaaad movie.
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.
It's been a week, we can talk about Fray 7.
My first thing I want to talk about is how waiting a week sucks. Maybe we should just change the rules so we are like the show threads, discuss when it comes out when people want to talk about it, and jump in as people get their comics...
New Buffy comic came out today that didn't completely suck. Mildly surprised at that.
