I really enjoyed it - it had a knowing clever B movie film feel to it, which made it great fun and David does a very impressive turn in it, and somewhat takes on the mantle of good time cheesy actor, with just the right amount of flair, as in the days of old with Bruce Campbell.
Hope you enjoy it too.

An early draft of the original BTVS movie script. It is a little darker then the filmed script. I'm still not sure that it was Joss' original desire for the story. I understand that he wanted the movie to be what the series became.

" have never seen an episode or movie of Buffy or Angel. I mean cmon.. Buffy! Buffy the vampire slayer! I cant get past the title.
I am so sooo much the Browncoat though and I find myself in such awe of Joss Whedons story writing / telling and directing with Firefly that i'm thinkin maybe I should at least try Buffy and Angel."
I'll make this short and sweet
Buffy= has a slew of books written about it, and plenty of the authors weren't interested in the genre before they watched the show.
there's a myriad of writing emphasis for each of these books w/ the main ones being
1.) episode essays and insights/dissertations for each
2.)allegories and references to countless events in history, famous literature and poetry,etc
3.)philosophy heavy
4.)connections to real folklore throughout history from nearly every country you can think of
Buffy is also (I believe) only the 3rd tv show in the history of television to have a meeting of scholars in various studies (philosophy,literary, mathematicians,sociology,etc), from around the world and under one roof, to discuss thoughts and opinions on the Buffy series and/or it's universe......
Firefly:.........*crickets*
Firefly has had none of these things, nor has Angel, so what does that say about Firefly?
You and anyone else that mocks Buffy for the title of the show alone, kinda looks foolish if you take what I stated into consideration
if the show is so dumb, why are most of it's diehard fans intelligent, and why are so many scholars and writers heavily interested in it?
