This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
And how did you feel about Monty Pythonic efforts?
Python is intentional farce, so in essence they did a better job than some of the later films.
The re-grinding of the sword in 13th Warrior makes me cringe like they were grinding my teeth in that scene. There's also a lovely 15th c spanish morion (helmet) which is a little de-immersifying when it appears.
Yeah, the grinding of the broadsword into a scimitar is dumb, (they should have just had him have a sword already. It probably wasn't in character for him to have one, but it could have easily belonged to one of the guards in their little group and when he's been chosen as a "warrior" it would make sense for him to take it with.) but other than that I enjoy the movie. It's not historically accurate, but it's fun. I love the scene where's listening to them talk and slowly figuring out their language.
Ran across this article about a new academic course on Buffy:
Alabama College Offers "Buffy" Course.
good article, except for this:
The star of the television series was Sarah Michelle Gellar, who decided in 2003 not to return to the show, ending the series.
Man, why the blue fuck couldn't they have had that class here at UNL when I was going?? I would have aced that fucked. Hell, the Buffistas should be contacted to teach that class at their nearest college campus.
I can just picture the first day of classes.
"Welcome to BtVS 301, I will be your professor this semester. You can call me professor Plei."
Hell, I would probably already have all the required reading material....plus I am sure you would be required to purchase all the DVD's as well.
For the lazy you can purchase review or preview's of class lectures by Jeff Meija.
When the Angel class spins-off you can purchase cliff notes in the form of 5 Minute Reviews at Barnes and Noble.
wow, and I thought I hero-worshipped my instructors in school. I call the right to a one-day workshop on "Bridging the Gap: Crime Fiction and Fantasy"
I'll be teaching a class...Buffy 286 - Xander and Spike - Focus on Basements
Just found this directed to from an Israeli TV site and wondered if this picture has been posted before and I was too much of a skipper to notice.
I love that picture, Nilly! Particularly Baby!Whedon.
The pic is gorgeous, Nilly. Anyone have a link to one without that horrible banner obscuring half the crew?
