Once More With Feeling

by Susana Polo | 4:18 pm, February 19th, 2013

If Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar were to engage in a successful television phenomenon it would be a significant to return to television for both of them. Williams hasn’t been a television regular since Mork & Mindy, and while Gellar recently graced screens in Ringer, the show was short lived. And that’s what, according to Deadline, is happening.

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:16 pm, December 22nd, 2011

Fans who revere Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer can breathe a slight sigh of relief today. The screenwriter responsible for writing the Buffy reboot film has apparently done a terrible job! Does this mean the film is done for? Not quite, Slayers.

Watch the Extended Preview of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s New Show, Ringer

by Alanna Bennett | 5:15 pm, July 22nd, 2011

Comic-Con, what goodies you bring us! Seriously, keep it coming. First new footage from Star Wars, now the first real glimpse of ~~Buffy’s~~ Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s return to television. Will she be able to follow in the footsteps of Alison Hannigan and David Boreanaz and forge a successful television career separate from her Whedonite roots? We’ll have to wait until after Ringer premieres this fall to even begin to get an answer to that, but in the meantime, here’s an extended preview of the CW show.

We’ve gotta say: It may not be going for the geek audience (you know they’ll get it anyway), but this show seems to have a lot of potential. It looks pretty dark, so we’ve got to wonder just how twisty it’s going to get.

Fangasm

“Sexy Nerd Girl” Raps About Whedon, Expresses Desire for Her Very Own Fangasm

by Alanna Bennett | 3:44 pm, June 13th, 2011

Joss Whedon, being King of the Fanpeople, inspires many a passionate opinion. Now, a female fan who on Youtube goes by “Sexy Nerd Girl,” has composed a rap about the wonders and joys of Joss Whedon and his creations to put said passion to work. She very quickly starts singing about her desire to get down and dirty with The Whedon to reinvent the meaning of “fangasm,” which makes things a bit uncomfortable for a minute. But c’mon, let’s be real. You know you’ve thought about it, too. And in the end she decides not to sleep with him, not because he’s married with kids, but because she wouldn’t want to risk their encounter backfiring and affecting the brilliance of his work.

She covers most of the prerequisite basis for entry into the Whedonverse–Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, Toy Story, and even that song he wrote for The Lion King. If only she’d mentioned his work on Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

BAD IDEAS FROM SMART PEOPLE

Buffy on Buffy

by Susana Polo | 9:41 am, May 12th, 2011

I think it’s a horrible idea. To try to do a Buffy without Joss Whedon, I mean that’s, like, honestly, to be incredibly non-eloquent: that’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard.

– Sarah Michelle Gellar, when asked about the upcoming Joss-Whedonless Buffy the Vampire Slayer Movie remake.

When asked whether the the reboot was still going forward, screenwriter Whit Anderson tweeted:

I know, Hollywood takes forEVER! But yes! It is still in the works.

Lovely.

Scream: The Feminist-Friendly Horror Franchise

by Jamie Frevele | 12:30 pm, April 28th, 2011

Recently on The Awl, Melissa Lafsky said that Scream 4 was the “first mainstream feminist horror movie.” I think that’s a bit short-sighted, considering there were (obviously) three equally feminist-friendly movies before that in the same franchise. Scream was never meant to be a typical horror movie – it was meant to turn the genre upside down.

Be warned, spoilers are included throughout!
