I agree with FMF, you have to watch it on it's own merit. The Paul Ruebens death scene alone is worth it. I was surprised to see so many, then, up and coming stars. David Arquette, Ben Afleck, Hilary Swank, Ricki Lake, Thomas Jane. Yeah, I watched it the other week on late night.

Good for you. I own it, and I love it. My mom has always been a fan of campy horror movies, fantasy, and cheesy teen movies. Hence, I have been Buffy fan since the movie came out when I was six. And thank god, because I probably would never have seen the series otherwise (and without buffy, what are the chances I would have seen Firefly?)

Plus, like everyon'e said, the death of Paul Reubens was also, as were all the hi-larious 90s dresses during the prom scene, and Hilary Swank.

Until Firefly, when he started telling Nathan to adlib.

Yes, Nathan has taught Joss to trust again...

but you notice it was just the one line!

I finally saw Buffy The Vampire Slayer The Movie, I still think I would not have gotten into the series if I had seen the movie first. Having seen Buffy The Series, I am assuming that Joss's original idea was to have Buffy be a mixture of all different aspects of teenage life, to me The Movie was just there to have people laugh at it, not to actually care for the characters like people do with the series, even if people have more time to get to know the characters of the series. As for how I know "They" knew Joss's idea for the movie, in the series it seems to me that Joss cared enough for the characters he created, so he stuck around to explain his ideas to the directors of the episodes, I have no reason to believe that he DIDN'T do the same for his screenplay. Well, there you have it, my explaination for my original post.

Joss was around on the movie set, but he eventually walked off due to frustration caused by what the director, studio, and specifically Donald Sutherland were doing to his story. Even in contemporary interviews, he stills seems pretty traumatized by those events. And it does explain his insistance on actors sticking to every little tiny comma or semicolon in his scripts.

IIRC, he once did a Buffy comic called The Beginning, intended to be the "realBuffy" version of events. Been trying to track down a copy.

I always wait for the trade paperback... "Buffy The Vampires Slayer #0: The Origin" is available at www.tfaw.com
