Keller" Subject: tonight/identity Remember, all, new episode tonight! More Faith! Re =Identity=, Roger Ebert gave it three stars and seemed to like it pretty well (www.suntimes.com/index/ebert.html). Clea Duvall has had pretty steady work with small roles in mostly teen films. I do tend to notice when even one-episode =Buffy= actors turn up (the guy who played Jesse in "Welcome to the Hellmouth"/"The Harvest" played the Devil in a car commercial a year or so ago), and I did recognize Clea Duvall from the =Identity= TV commercials. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 07:49:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Todd Huff Subject: Re: o/invisible girl sighting - --- meredith wrote: > Hi, > > For those who follow the careers of even the > briefest and earliest of > _Buffy_ guest stars: > > Clea DuVall (remember the "Invisible Girl"?) is in > the new thriller > _Identity_, which has been getting rave reviews and > is the top movie in the > US at the moment.

I think he was also on _Six Feet Under_ and _24_ last season as well. I don't recall the car commercial he was in, but he does kind of look like the Devil -- particularly in his head shot on IMDB (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Balfour,%20Eric). :) Speaking of ABC shows with ME connections that only lasted a few episodes ... SciFi has picked up _Miracles_, and plans to show its entire 13-episode run in prime time sometime soon. =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== Live At The House O'Muzak House Concert Series http://muzak.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 02:31:04 -0700 From: Joseph Zitt Subject: a/ Sacrifice I just caught up with last week's episode of Angel. I doubt spoilers are needed by now b u t j u s t i n c a s e h e r e a r e s o m e l i n e s Quite an ambitious episode, and one that is going to be hard to follow in the long term. We have a situation now where the entire population of Los Angeles is having the experience of Jasmine's "love", which, if the season structure follows the Buffy/Angel tradition, will have two be resolved in the next two episodes. And just snapping them out of it, as happened for Angel's posse, won't set things back to normal: we've seen how Fred, et al, keep having emotional flashbacks to their experience with Jasmine. We might expect those who followed her for a longer time and at the deeper level that is now happening to have even worse withdrawal symptoms, something that, on a societal level, would make the 9/11 aftermath seem like a blip. I'm intrigued that Jasmine is setting up her evil empire by working strictly in terms of good -- people are feeling love, and doing good things for one another, etc. It would be great if that could somehow carry over after she and the evil aspect would be removed. It sorta looks like they had released massive amounts of Ecstacy into the LA water supply. (I wonder if any of the writers might have had corresponding experiences with it that has informed their writing of the LA loveathon.) And with the Governor now handing the whole state over to Jasmine, we might expect folks in Sunnydale to notice (not impossible, given the announcements about the Buffy finale). It's going to be interesting to see what happens to Angel in his other-dimensional meeting with the lobster people. (And it looked like the end of the episode was going to segue into outtakes from "Starship Troopers".) The obvious thing would be for him to finagle them into revealing Jasmine's true name, but the obvious rarely happens in the Buffyverse. I'm eager to see what happens next. (And I gotta remember to tape _Buffy_ -- I have rehearsal on the next three Tuesday nights. Eek.) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 19:41:22 -0400 From: meredith Subject: o/Fray!!
