This was in it: >* HEARD ON CAMPUS * > >"Everything we do [in an episode of Buffy] comes from human emotion and >experience. Every story has to have a reason, emotionally, to be told. It >has to come from one very simple emotion." >[Joss Whedon '87, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, speaking Nov. 29 in >Professor Jeanine Basinger's class on musicals.] I'm thinking now would be a REALLY good time to be in college ... I can just imagine how much fun that session must have been. Last year, Joss did an all-day symposium which culminated in a showing of an episode (I can't remember which one -- "Becoming" is ringing a bell, but it might have been "Hush") followed by a Q-and-A session. Word is you couldn't get anywhere NEAR the Center For The Arts Cinema for that ... students blew off classes and started lining up early in the morning. Still, I did recently put Joss' name down on my 10th Reunion questionnaire under "recommendations for speakers, performers etc.", since next Spring's Reunion is also his 15th. Who knows? (In the same newsletter, I also discovered that one of my classmates, Mike White is the creator of _Pasadena_, the show that comes on after _Dark Angel_ that I haven't yet gotten around to watching. Guess I should check it out now.) ======================================= Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth "an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind" -- mahatma gandhi ======================================= Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://www.smoe.org/meth/muzak.html ------------------------------ End of stillpt-digest V3 #193 *****************************
