Sarah Michelle Gellar, figuring no one would bother to add her husband's last name to her already long name went ahead and legally changed her last name to Prinze for the couple's 5th wedding anniversary. That's a pretty cheap gift, even though she has basically neutered him after five years of marriage.
Anyway, the greedy bride is playing coy with a Buffy reunion movie, but indications are such that if the price tag is high enough she will sign on the dotted line. She is claiming that the show came from a really bad movie (that sound you just heard was Kristy Swanson being thrown under a bus) and that the television series was needed to fully flesh out the character. SMGP feels as if a movie would ruin all that and ruin the artistic premise of the character. Before you start saying you feel her visions, remember this is the same woman who starred in Scooby Doo 2 because she felt that Daphne could grow as a character.
Give her $15M and watch how quickly she loves the idea of being Buffy Summers again. Besides, Alyson Hanigan could use a movie. Television is kind of ruining what was special about her.
I'm not a fan of SMG - her skills are limited at best, but two things that should be noted - (1) A 5 year anniversary in hollywood is like a golden anniversary in RL right?
ReplyDeleteAnd (2) the original Buffy movie was Ass. TOTAL ASS. (Luke Perry anyone?) But what Joss Whedon (sp?) did with the series took it so far from the movie that it actually turned into a very good story.
@klown: What Whedon did with "Buffy" was AMAZING. The man is so talented.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of ppl assume that SMG is just like "Buffy" but time and time again her behavior proves otherwise. She's just another "Mean Girl."
How is TV "ruining what's special" about Alyson Hannigan? She's great on 'How I Met Your Mother.'
ReplyDeleteGinny, I'm with you. Alyson Hannigan's character on HIMYM is great. It's one of my fave shows.
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch Buffy and am not a SMG fan. Do we have to start calling her SMGP?
No offense to SMGP but myself and my Buffy fan friends always love it when her movies suck because it means we get one step closer to a Buffy movie!
ReplyDeletePlease God please!!!!!!!
Also: totally agree about Aly needing a decent movie to sink her teeth into. Would be nice to see a slimmed down Xander back in action too - hoping Nick Brandon is off the nose candy these days.
As an aside - Eliza Dushku is doing a new show with Joss Whedon called Dollhouse. Should air on Fox late 2008.
OMG anything to get SPIKE back. Anything. I don't care he ended at Angel and when that went off the air you were left thinking they were going to have their asses handed to them by...they killed Spike on Buffy, ghosted him on Angel, and he came back as "real" again. Joss can do anything. I love "the Scoobies" in the Buffyverse.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing good about buffy was the origional movie. Epic camp. Pee Wee Herman as a vampire "Oh, you're killing me... ohhhhhhhhh" for like 5 minutes?
ReplyDeleteClassic.
The show itself was ballwash.
