Thanks for the feedback, I always get nervous about multiple colors for text, but it was necessary to delineate whose lines were whose, so it's nice to hear from one person that it works Jen

9/10 I wish this was less centered on her ear! Then it would be a perfect crop! Love love love the coloring, and the contrast is TO DIE FOR! Jen

9/10 I like the grittiness, I like the image choice, and the text works so well with the font, but the orchid kinda sticks out as not fitting in with the overall tone of the banner, to me anyways. Also, GREAT TEXTURE EFFECTS! Jen

Ok, so now that I have been better informed *thanks againEric* I guess my stance on this reboot idea is why go there? Why reboot something that is still currently developing? It's just like all these remakes and unecessary sequels hollywood's been putting out recently, people just don't have new ideas so they're redoing the good old ideas. The more I learn about this project the less I like it. I'd rather Joss keep doing the comics, and then when he's ready to do a really great Buffy movie that ties the original movie in with the TV show, that'll be the only time I will be interested. It's pointless to go and redo all this Buffy when Joss is the one still developing Buffy in the comics.
Ugh hollywood pisses me off.
Anyhoo, I hope that if this movie does take off, Whit doesn't ruin it. I don't know why they would do Buffy without Joss, that's so rude. At least with the Star Trek reboot the creator wasn't still alive and willing to do a movie...lame.

I'm pretty sure the Kuzui's are no longer involved. I think the only reason this project has picked up lately is because they sold the rights. And sorry, but no television characters will be used in the movie. They don't have the rights to them. They only have the rights to the original 1992 film. Wow, my mind is blown, thanks for the info!

Anya might have been his first successful love (I think that even though it ended badly, he can't think of it was a bad relationship) but I don't think he would want to deny his love for Buffy (which I think was real, not a crush). I actually believe he fell in love with Buffy. Even Angel confirmed that. "You're in love with her." "Aren't you?" I just can't call what Xander had for Buffy a crush, they seemed more intense and real than that. A crush is something he had for his teacher and maybe Willow for a while, they disappeared quickly. It's not the same case with Buffy. sorry guys and girls, i say buffy. i know that there's a lot of good arguments for why it's a crush, but i think that he's always loved buffy for who she is... slayer and all. xander understood the dangers of what she does and still loved her. he admired her beauty, her will to help others, and perhaps saw that she brought out the best in him (by helping her, xander's helped others). granted, xander was much younger when they met and probably would have considered a kiss from any girl to mean love (hey, i've been there), but xander still had feelings for her, all through the high school years, and possibly beyond. if buffy was not a slayer, ask yourself, who does she most resemble in a male character from the show. i'd say xander. and i think xander recognized those similarities and thought there was a connection. perhaps i'm just a die hard bander shipper. and i get the feeling that someday, this ship will sail. someday... Agree--I had relationships in high school that at first glance were not love, but in hindsight they were lessons in love. The first real relationship I had that lasted longer than two weeks was crucial in my love education, and without it I would not know what love is. For this reason, I voted Buffy, because I think at the bottomest part of his heart, Xand will always love Buffy, and in many ways. She's his crush (he still constantly jokes about romantic things with her), his friend, his romantic fantasy, and his role-model/hero. I think he loves her for all those things, and that will never go away, because a first love never does. As for the sibling relationship, no. In Restless we see Buffy refer to him as "big brother," which Xander questions and just seems let-down about, which I interpret as his undying hope for the chance that she will love him the way he loves her. I do think that he did love Anya in the most fully realized way, but he wouldn't have been able to without knowing & loving Buffy. -Jen

*steps out from lurking to contribute* Great discussion here! I agree with the main themes so far, that a villain must be developed and invested in the story, rather than just hiding in a cave talking about how badass he is *coughadamcough*. However, didn't the Master do that too? And he was more successful than Adam? What was different about the Master and Adam? How did we grow to fear the Master and just kinda roll our eyes at Adam? Well, I think part of it is the characterization of the Master: he was tied to Angelus and Darla, he not only wanted to rise and kill innocent people, but he also had a personal vendetta for Buffy and wanted to kill Buffy--and did!--which makes him invested in the overall Scooby plot, also he was funny, gave us information about Buffy's role as the Slayer, and we were able to see him again in The Wish as a more developed character. Adam's goal was to bioengineer a race of robodemonoids, he didn't even really contribute to any of the evil-doing besides killing that little boy, a demon, & Maggie Walsh (not-so-tragic since she just tried to kill Buffy, thanks Adam!) and trying to hurt Riley's pretty face and delicious pectorals...er, I mean, trying to make Riley an ubersoldier like him...... Ahem, anyways, Adam also teamed up with Spike, who at this point was unthreatening and kinda pathetic. Add on to that the main focus of Primevil being the Scoobies resurrecting high-school era unity and the awesomeness of that spell (probably my favorite spell/sequence of the entire series), which just embarasses Adam. With all that said, I do like Adam as an allegory for the evils of technology without morals (i.e. the Initiative's stance on treating demons badly despite signs of goodness), and the makeup was awesome and the actor played him well, so he wasn't a total fail in my book. I still have thoughts on this, but my brain is tired because this was supposed to be a break from writing my thesis....oh well! Again, great topic and excellent brain-tingly discussion! Jen

My only worry with this movie is that it's helmed by the infamous Kazui's, who we all know altered Joss's vision for the original Buffy movie with Kristy Swanson. I think that's why Joss may have been hesitant. Also, he's kinda got a lot on his plate atm, so it would make sense that he would decline the Buffy movie until he had more time to devote to it (that's the hopeful & dedicated Whedonite in me speaking). What I don't much care about is the fact that there will most likely be an entirely new cast. I think that, if the movie cast can respect the TV show portrayals of these characters, and use this to synthesize with their own portrayals to create an exciting new characterization of our beloved Scoobies, then it will be a success. If, on the other hand, they totally ignore the character development done over seven years by the TV cast, or they totally mimick the actors in a copy-cat way, then it'll be a fail. I'd love to see how someone else would play Xander, though it would be weird to see not-Nick Brendon in the eyepatch. Because it shouldn't matter who plays the characters, as they are not real and have many qualities that maybe a new actor would be able to summon coming to the role fresh. About this writer, Whit Anderson...who is she and why was I not contacted cuz this was supposed to be MY GIG! I've been planning on bringing a Buffy movie to Joss and the movie peeps since I was SIXTEEN, COME ON! Jen

Great photos! I'm glad you had a good time. Also, it amuses me that Clare has a Pepsi, and a Starbucks in addition to her water. Celebrities! They're just like us!Hahaha, omg I love it! She was really sweet, and since she didn't have any visitors at the time she actually talked with me for a good five minutes before Amber freed up and it was my turn. She's absolutely hillarious btw. Wow how jealous am I feeling right now! Looks like you had the best time and thanks for sharing your photos with us. How beautiful does Charisma look in that photo I KNOW RIGHT! I think she's not a human. I mean, she can't be, right? Too pretty!!! Funny story about Charisma, while we were standing in line my friend and I saw her going to take a break, and my friend Jackie kinda squealed/yelled/"ahhhh!"-ed right as she walked by us, and Charisma did it back at us! But like ten times wackier! She was so animated and zany; I think she'd be a great Cranium teammate! -Jen

My photos! James Claire & Mercedes Charisma Me & Nick Nick Nick Amber Me & Amber It was sooo great to meet Nick and Amber, and to see the rest of the cast members who attended. I stopped to say hi to Claire and Mercedes, got to tell Claire that Glory is my fav bigbad, got autographs and stolen photo-ops with Nick and Amber, and everyone was so sweet and wonderful. I was getting sick at the time, so I apologized to Nick for my sniffle, and he gave me a hug! I also go to meet Adam West and a bunch of others ppl, but I'll save space on the forum and not post those photos. Anyway, I'm definitely going to try to go to more comic cons, this was so fun! -Jen

9/10 Great banner PJ, I love the quality of the images, the text and font, and the color scheme, but I could've definitely given a 10/10 for a little clearer center image, cuz to me her face looks like Viggo the Carpathian. Great jorb on this one, Iceeh!
