Now I must rent The Burbs. I'ts piling up.
Gremlins 2 WAS verrry funny (especially the love scene with Robert Picardo), I just prefer the more realistic tone (?!) in the first one.
Gonna get Buffy season one next week, my journey will begin.
P.S. check out 'Firefly in Battlestar mini-series' thread in Other science fiction forum.
(and speaking of Hell, ever see a crazy little film with Kristy Swanson called Highway To Hell?)

ROBERT PICARDO what a genius comedic actor that guy is!
D'you remember him from Inner Space as "The Cowboy"
Here's his song:
I'm an old Cow Hen
From the Rio Gren'
But my legs not bowed
and my skins not tanned.
I'm a cowboy who's never seen a cow
Can't rope a steer coz I don't know how,
I'm not for to start learning now....
Yippee yi-yeah Ohio.
*Does pistol fingers*
Or words to that effect.

I take it that's his thing from Star trek Voyager?... Wasn't as up on Voyager....
Say I just realised I forgot to mention that I hadn't seen that film with Kristy Swanson - what's the premise to that film? Now I think of it I haven't seen her in anything else really after the Buffy film.
So you're gonna buy it next week - cool! I kinda wish I could watch Buffy all over again without knowing what it's all about - it was a great trip into Joss' world. Lucky you matey - treasure these naive Buffy days - you'll enjoy it all the more.
As was mentioned earlier by someone stick with the first season you will be rewarded :) Y'know Joss this is where he learnt his tricks... enjoy.
Well It's late here - must dash.
Always fun swapping banter Chrisisall. Take care.
I guess I should leave you with a suitable quote... Hmmm..... OK:
"My own brother, a goddam, sh*tsucking vampire. Boy, you wait till mom finds out buddy."

The doorstop thing was Picardo's Voyager character in his cameo in Star Trek: First Contact. BIG laugh from the audience.
Highway to Hell was written by Brian Englund (spelling?) who wrote Payback (among many others) and concerns Kristy (pre-Buf) Swanson gettin' kidnapped by Satan and rescued by her boyfriend who has to travel to Hell to do it! Thriller/comedy.
G'nite Sombnambulist. Don't let the space bugs bite.

Thanks muchly, I'll keep that in mind. But from what I hear, I'm thinkin' I'm gonna dig it slow or not.

Be sure to let us know what you think. I'd like to know how you would rate Buffy in comparison to FF. I'm sure you'll love it.

Four more hours and counting!
Back in sixteen with my first reaction.

Well, I watched Welcome to the Hellmouth and The Harvest last night. It came across like a superhero comic mixed with an Elm Street flick peppered with REALLY funny stuff!!
The "carbon dated" line got me big time!!
And as they were walkin' into the school at the beginning I heard "shiny nickle" ha ha !Sound was up high- it even had me jump a couple o' times. I'm gonna make a whole big thing o' popcorn next time.
I was surprised to see the series pick up some time after the movie, though. I kinda expected a, you know...remake, it assumes you've seen the movie (which is ok, I have), but I would've liked to see Ms. Geller learning from scratch (no biggie, though).
Total fun.
Rating it alonside Firefly...hmmm.
Pilot vs. pilot there is no comparison, Firefly is just plain better written and executed. I don't know about in the long run. I will see, though. I hear Buffy only gets better!
Firefly's more mature and sly with it's wit, an easier and more comfortable walk, if you will. And of course the characters are more the kind to kick up your feet with than in Buffy's world.
But Buffy did rock! I can't believe I got a hundred and more eps to see!
Thanks Starrbaby and the rest of y'all for the above posts and parley.
Lost in the slaying Chrisisall
