Nah, I'm the queen of literal, and I have no patience at all for writers who make me feel like they know something I don't and they aren't planning to tell me. I'm forever not getting things that everyone else gets. So chance are high I'd have the same reaction you did.
Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

On the other hand, I did bull through and ended up liking the rest of it more. So.

I need a gift idea for a friend. I want to get her something comic-y because she probably won't get anything like that from anyone else. She loves anything by Dan Clowes, Love and Rockets - that kind of thing. Any suggestions?

Always Anti-fascist!
Groening's "Life in Hell"?(she probably has them, actually)

Ooh, good idea. Now to see if I can find them anywhere to buy.

Thanks so much! I settled on Black Hole and a few other bits I've heard her mention she doesn't have. Here's hoping they arrive before her birthday.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Apparently, LKH has signed a deal to write a script for "Guilty Pleasures."
No more info than that is available, I'm afraid. Interesting. Possibility for awfulness...or maybe (maybe?!) a guilty pleasure? I dunno.
Casting? Who would you cast for what?

If I only had a brain...
Adrian Paul as Jean-Claude. They can't afford him, but Liam Neeson as early Richard.
And Mary Sue as Anita.

Richard ain't in GP.
Who's Adrian Paul?
Mary Sue...her ouevre is wide and varied. Would she have time?
EDIT: Oh, Highlander guy! I gotcha. Do you think he'd be able to play femme-sexy-masculine?
