Joss' response: Kristin, I'm glad you asked for my thoughts on the announcement of Buffy the cinema film. This is a sad, sad reflection on our times, when people must feed off the carcasses of beloved stories from their youthsjust because they can't think of an original idea of their own, like I did with my Avengers idea that I made up myself. Obviously I have strong, mixed emotions about something like this. My first reaction upon hearing who was writing it was, "Whit Stillman AND Wes Anderson? This is gonna be the most sardonically adorable movie EVER." Apparently I was misinformed. Then I thought, "I'll make a mint! This is worth more than all my Toy Story residuals combined!" Apparently I am seldom informed of anything. And possibly a little slow. But seriously, are vampires even popular any more? I always hoped that Buffy would live on even after my death. But, you know, AFTER. I don't love the idea of my creation in other hands, but I'm also well aware that many more hands than mine went into making that show what it was. And there is no legal grounds for doing anything other than sighing audibly. I can't wish people who are passionate about my little myth ill. I can, however, take this time to announce that I'm making a Batman movie. Because there's a franchise that truly needs updating. So look for The Dark Knight Rises Way Earlier Than That Other One And Also More Cheaply And In Toronto, rebooting into a theater near you. Leave me to my pain! Sincerely, Joss Whedon. http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b212644_joss_whedon_reacts_buffy_movie_news_i.html On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 7:19 PM, Steve Schiavo wrote: > > > Buffy film. > > > - Steve ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 19:37:32 -0500 From: "Mr.Eldritch" Subject: cookie monster question Is there a term for female cookie monster vocals? They don't sound like cookie monster, exactly, but they are doing the same thing with their voice that metal dudes have been annoying me with for years. Purty girls who can alternate between power pop singing and screaming entire verses seem to be trendy in 2010. (For example, I look up In This Moment, who is playing locally, and I find Picture Me Broken doing essentially the same thing). ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V18 #210 ********************************
