Buffy Movie

[cmdrkoenig67]

Buy wouldn't that be an interesting story. To have a hero give up Heaven to come back to help those in need. Talk about the ultimate sacrifice.

DIGGER

Something similar happened in Buffy The Vampire Slayer...Buffy died and was later resurrected by Willow and their friends (they believed her spirit was in some sort of hell dimension), but they later found out that Buffy was in heaven and was happy until they tore her away from it.

That was SUCH a great reveal. I miss the show.
The comic just isn't the same...

The whole Grimjack storyline is based on the fact that - said anti-hero - declined his own entrance to Heaven to save a friend on the Earthly realm. When done saving his friend he tried to gain entrance to Hell but Hell would not have him; he was too much for that realm to handle, him being a Demon Hunter and all. Loved that comic. Every once in a while a graphic novel comes out about Grimjack. Warms my heart!

Whoa! I am WAY off topic here.

I think Puck and Grimjack might get along? Different comic universe. Too bad.

Ghost Rider(s) went to Heaven to kick the archangel Zadikal's ass out of Heaven after he dethrowned God from it. I don't see how going to Heaven would be offensive.

This was the most recent GHOST RIDER, right? The one that everyone dropped soon after Ghost Rider met the two angels? That same title? ;-)

The 2006 series did meet two angels who were trying to help Ghost Rider stop Satan from reforming into one piece after he came to Earth and shattered into 666 piece and going into recentlly deceased bodies, but finds out that he's the wrath of God and not a demon from Hell. Heaven's on Fire is the 6 parter that both Ghost Riders go to Heaven to kick some ass.

Aww, Dana, I was going to bring up Buffy.

Yeah, it was revealed in song!

Aren't we all glad WB are making a Buffy movie without Joss? yay <-- extreme sarcasm

Buffy: I always say that a patrol's not complete without a trip to the stinking sewers.
Angel: I'm sure I saw him come down here.

Buffy: Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We can say he was this big.

Angel: What can I say? I need closure.

It's CRAP.
Don't get me started...

[ClawMaraud]

Just read that blurb on Yahoo news about the new Buffy movie getting set to being made. If it is not a continuation - in some form or other - of the TV series then they should just let the Buffy idea stay where it is - Finished!

Folks; let's keep this on topic.
Feel free to start a thread in the General section.

Ben, I only mentioned Buffy once.

Here I go again - Just checked out the name Buffy on one of those 'Name meaning' sites and, believe it or not, it is from the name 'Elizabeth'. How does Buffy come from Elizabeth? What a world! What a world!

I hear you (I miss Buffy and Angel)...I've been collecting Season 8 up until a couple of months ago...Then I decided to drop it. It's totally lost my interest and it just seemed to be lacking.

I think she actually revealed it to Spike first a few episodes before "Once More, With Feeling", Mik.

I can't believe they're going to try and remake Buffy (in the film...Or I guess they're planning on remaking the original film)...That's just messed up.

I read an official press release where they didn't even mention Joss Whedon!
Wow.

Gah!
Y'got me there.

Still like the song, though.

(Sorry, mods, for dragging us OT.)

From what I gather, the Kazuis ( Fran and Kaz the couple that produced and directed the original movie) have pretty much seen their residuals from the series DVD sales bottom out. So, to get that money train moving again they are pulling out this reimagining of the movie.

Like most Whedonites, I have low expectations for this. I'll probably see it, more to see if it sucks more or less than the original movie.

What Ben doesn't realize is that ALL of my messages are written while in the Buffy...;)

That's the trouble. Most Whedonites are just that -Whedonites, not Buffyites.
We won't have much faith in it, and Faith won't be in it, and few of us will watch it. (I might, if only because I don't want to prejudge... but I want to watch the Last Airbender for the same reason, so what do I know?)

People who aren't interested in Buffy aren't going to watch this, because they're not interested in Buffy.

That leaves, what - vague fans? Or are they (most likely) as 3 Chicks posit (http://1979semifinalist.podomatic.com/player/web/2010-11-23T10_41_24-08_00), trying to cash in on Twilight?

Ben, next time, leave the chipmunk out of it!

[jay042]

Yeah, the Twilight audience is their primary focus in creating this movie, kind of the way the Kazuis were trying to cash in on the Beverly Hills 90210 audience when they cast Luke Perry as the male lead in the original.

[Tawmis]

That's the trouble. Most Whedonites are just that -Whedonites, not Buffyites.


But I would say it's fair to assume, 90% of the Whedonites are indeed Whedonites because of Buffy. Thus making the majority (90%) of the Whedon fans also Buffy fans, as that was probably their first "contact" with Joss Whedon.

[Le Messor]

True, Tawmis, but what I mean is through Buffy we've become fans of Joss Whedon, and we know he's what makes Buffy good.
So the fannier fans won't want a Buffy movie knowing it's not a Joss movie. (I'm basing that on the comments sections of every article I've read about this.)

Oh. Well. yes. Then I agree. I misread what you were originally saying then. :-D
