My innerfangirl just went FETAL!

Buffy? Anyone? Rumors abound! NEW BUFFY MOVIE. SANS SMG. AND JOSS. w00t?

And another one!

EW guy David Ausiello asked Joss about it and Whedon's response? "I hope it's cool." *ngh*

Actually, I read the "news" story attached to linky the first, and it makes sense. It's the principle of the thing. THE PRINCIPLE!

I have no problem with a relaunch with a new slayer, because new slayers set in the future are always possible, but without Joss Whedon at the helm, I'm not impressed, especially as I've been reading the Buffy Season 8 comic book, and way that its been leading, the new movie wouldn't be canon in my head.

Damn DW. DON'T YOU KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANY BUFFY ICONS OVER HERE???

[lillbet]

You too? I read up on Season 8 in Wikipedia, which is sort of like eating lowfat fro-yo- tasty, but not much there, really.

Also, I hate the Kuzuis- they are the ones responsible for the movie and they want to do it AGAIN??? WHY??? That's the equivalent of setting yourself on fire, healing, and then saying to yourself, "Gee, I could have done that better!" getting out the matches again, and...

I AM FULL OF ANALOGY GOODNESS TODAY.

Seriously, wtf? AND DITTO ON THE ICONS!!!

Buffy icons, you say? Hmm... I smell an opportunity for Nadine's an my icon comm on DW...

It's the only comic that I actually follow religiously, though The Boyfriend buys a lot of different ones. I'm liking it, but the problem with comic books is that they are like watching soap operas. It takes forever.

I'm curious as to what the plot would be.

[lillbet]

OMG! Do you fangirl it? Like when there's a new one do you RUN TO THE STORE TO BE FIRST IN LINE? O.o

Yeah, the thing about comics I've sort of gotten over as I've aged *sob* is that it takes 6 books to cover a conversation/militant action/fight/love story. It's hammy. It's silly.

But the colors are sure purty, ain't they? ♥

[train_lindz]

LOL, no I'm not that fangirlish. Generally we'll go to the comic book shop every two/three weeks and buy everything we missed at once.

Comic Book Guy made fun of me once when I went in by myself to buy a birthday present. "Aren't you normally here with that guy? He gets the comics while you look at the toys while you wait?" He's got me pegged :)

[lillbet]

There are TOYS??? Oh, like Edward dolls and such. Yes. Right.

Or is there other stuff you're into that you haven't yet revealed?

By the way, have you read "Fray"? It's sort of a spin-off. I liked it, but not in an OMG! sort of way. If you haven't read it, give it a spin- I'd love to hear what you think.

[train_lindz]

There are toys - no Edward toys at this store - it is far too hardcore and Twilight isn't included ;) It's got awesome collectible stuff that no one can afford (like $300 Sandman bookends that I want but can't rationally spend the money on...), and cheaper action figurey type stuff.

We are big nerds. I'm probably into anything you can think of geekwise. I have a Tardis that lights up and makes noise. There is an Optimus Prime transformer in our bedroom.

I've read Fray. It was alright, though I felt it finished rather abruptly and left me feeling slightly unfullfilled. Actually , in Season 8, Buffy goes to the future and is with Fray for a couple issues. Which was badass.

[lillbet]

Pfft. I used to hang out with folks who reenacted. On purpose. And watched "The Tick". A light up Tardis is NOTHING. *iz jealous*

Yeah, I saw that bit on Wikipedia about the crossover between Fray and Buffy- very cool. I'd love to get a hold of that issue in the flesh some time, because I'm sure Wikipedia did not get the full measure of the awesome.

And I felt the same way, though, the Fray comic ended a bit too abruptly with the killing of her watcher and her brother being all "GAH!". I felt like they weren't sure if it was a series and whether they wanted to tie everything up, but I like a bit of conclusion in my endings. Just a smidge.

Speaking of which, I should probably return it to the person I borrowed it from... two years ago. Agh. Xp

[train_lindz]

I totally watched The Tick.

And have it on DVD.

Both the cartoon and the live action version.

*iz nerd*

And if I ever go back to Comic Con (because I've totally been), I'm so dressing up.

[lillbet]

Didn't own, but watched both animated and LA versions as well.

And I've been to a SciFi con, an Anime con and a Comic Con.

So yeah. Your secret is safe with me if you can keep your dirty Canadian mouth shut, capisce? Xp

[train_lindz]

I saw Edward James Olamos and Aaron Dougles from BSG at Toronto Comic Con last year. It was very exciting and I squealed girlishly.

[lillbet]

Man, I only ever remember getting googly over authors and musicians at those things. A friend of a friend was performing at Bosticon a few years ago when I was in grad school at Emerson and we got to hang out- he got me in for free. The filking was nuts, but drum circles are... no, they scare me too.

YOU WIN! ALL HAIL, QUEEN GEEK!
