and my point, fflying2, was that Joss is NOT going to be making a movie...
he has only talked about a made-for-TV-movie,
which SMG says she won't do.
This is not the same deal as Firefly because Fox productions is not selling their rights to to the Buffyverse...they want to produce movies for TV.
So we can just forget about SMG & DB because they have both said that they don't want to do that....

I feel it is no great loss, we have really spent plenty of time on both Buffy's & Angel's character growth and I would personally prefer to see the TV movies focus on characters who were not at well developed. Or didn't get as much screen time.

Not because SMG is a hack; altho I do consider DB to be a talentless hack who has a very limited range...I actually think SMG is a talented comedianne who can play drama very convincingly. Her work on BtVS was consistantly wonderful and they asked a LOT from her, she did a wonderful job when Buffy & Faith traded bodies (the weaker performance IMO was Eliza's...).

At any rate, I'm really hoping that all the smoke we've been hearing about (there have been a lot of rumors about the Buffyverse, or Angelverse, movies for the last few weeks) are the result of a small fire taking place somewhere... I'm hoping that at Joss' fundraising event on Sunday he is going to tell us that a made-for-TV-movie is FINALLY in the works!

(knock on wood)

oh, over on Whedonesque the just posted this link with good news that the WB wants to do this thing:

I only remember his comments about David being scared of chickens. Did I miss him talking about Sarah? What did Joss say about her? (I don't have my DVDs at the moment, or I'd use this as an excuse to watch the commentaries again)

I'm curious (hey, it's in my nature

)is this the "7 year tv-star" comment you're thinking of?

I always took that comment as being one of Joss' trademark sarcastic remarks, and not as serious as the content reads on paper.

'Course if he *did* mean it, there is always the possibility that he was referring to Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase on Buffy/Angel) who was also on both shows for 7 years.

Hey, guys and gals!

So, I'm at WalMart checking out today and guess who's peering at me from the glossy cover of the latest Cosmopolitan?

You guessed, your fave, Sarah Michelle Gellar-PrinzeJunior. She was a vision. Y'all should all go out and buy up all the copies from your local rag-vendors.

Ah, la dolce vita! To quote the infinitely quotable David Lee Roth (who's forgotten more about dolce than most of us will learn in our vitae), "Better use it up before it gets old!"

I still think SMG-PJ's best bet is to start a social club with Leonard Nimoy, Wayne Rogers, Shelley Long, Ted Danson, David Caruso, David Duchovny and the entire cast of Friends. I mean, once they've gotten the idea that they're 'film stars' rattling around in their cavernous skulls, how're you gonna get them to realize that they're killing the proverbial golden egg-laying goose? Boreanaz can serve refreshments and sell cigarettes... As I said before, it's not only dumb and egotistical, it's not even original ('banal').

Historically,

zoid

P.S.
I daresay I've forgotten or was otherwise unaware of any number of other TV phenoms who decided to quit successful and lucrative series work in order to make a flop of themselves in movies. Can y'all name some more for the club? Actors only, please. Musicians will have their own club, DLR presiding.

I cannot attest to Sarah Michelle Gellar's talent, because - *gasp!* - I never got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but, regarding the Scooby Doo movie comments. . .

However bad the movies may or may not be, I do not think SMG (I am intrigued by the fact that her initials are also the acronym for submachine gun) being in them indicates that she is a bad actress. I must point out that Linda Cardellini was also in them, and she is far from a bad actress.

Case in point: Freaks & Geeks, one of the best shows ever. Haverchuck for President!

A Fantasy Conversation:

(A phone rings in SoCal...)

JW: "Hey, AB."

AB: "Hey, JW. What's up?"

JW: "I've got a little problem."

AB: "You know you can count on me. What can I do you for?"

JW: "Well, I've got a script and a greenlight for a BtVS made-for-TV movie..."

AB: "Congrats, man! Whadya need me to do? Play a vampire or demon-possessed preacher, or somethin'?"

JW: "Naw, I got those covered."

AB: "Cool. NF's gonna be in it too then?"

JW: "Yeah. What a trouper."

AB: "So what's the problem?"

JW: "Well, the lead and her significant other have decided to forego anything less than a theatrical release, in favor of a live-action remake of a 60's cartoon series they're currently shopping around to all the major studios."

AB: "Not a third Scooby movie?!"

JW: "Nah. The Herculoids. FPJ will play Zandor and 'The Actress' will costar as Tarra. They've already signed that kid from Austin Powers, whats-his-name..."

AB: "Mini-Me?"

JW: "Yeah, that's him. He's playing Igoo."

AB: "..."

JW: "..."

AB: "... so you want me to..."

JW: "Buffy, yeah."

AB: "Umm, hey, listen, you know I'd p*ss on a sparkplug for you if you thought it'd do any good, but... I've got man-parts."

JW: "Yeah, we know. Don't worry. I've got it all figured out."

AB: "Nuff said; I'm in. I trust you, dude."

JW: "I love you, man. See you tomorrow, 4:30 AM sharpish."

Hilarious.

Though we've gotta find some way to specify between "AB = Adam (Jayne) Baldwin" and "AB = Amber (Tara) Benson." Took me a couple of lines to switch tracks between the "Buffy" clump of neurons and the "Firefly" clump.
