Buffy och Angel i utländsk media

[lilith]

Joss Whedon!Jag saknar ord, bara lyssna på honom.
Älskar er för att ni älskar honom.

Joss Whedon - Vilken man, fantastiskt, fantastiskt tal!

[eriked]

Riktigt bra tal faktiskt. Han skojar inte bort det utan får ihop talet riktigt snyggt. Go Joss!

I dagens Matt Roush:

Question: Regarding Blade: The Series, if Spike TV really wanted a vampire series that the fans would love, why didn't it just give us "Spike" the movie or series? No one does better justice to a black duster than James Marsters! — Kathy

Matt Roush: Surely you're not looking for an argument here. And wouldn't Spike the vamp have been a perfect poster bad boy for Spike the network? I'm just ashamed I didn't think of that when I wrote my review, in which I was more fixated on comparing how Buffy the Vampire Slayer improved from movie to TV show while Blade, to be generous, doesn't. At least not yet.

Med den stora skillnaden givetvis att Buffy-filmen var skräp och Blade inte var det. Så det var inte speciellt svårt att göra Buffy bättre. Eller ränas inte det?

[AKS]

Naturligtvis räknas inte det!

Buffy och Angel kommer att vara en av de serier som the WB sänder på sin dödsbädd eller återfödelsebädd eller vad man nu ska kalla det:

I gårdagens frågespalt, Matt Roush, får BtVS lite kärlek av herr MR. BtVS-relaterat i fet stil.

Question: Why should we care about the Emmys? Every year people in the entertainment news media complain of the innumerable shows that were unjustly snubbed, and grumble that the Academy is too conservative, oblivious and ill-advised. I don't disagree with them. To wit: The mom from Malcolm in the Middle was nominated this year. That show is still on? I mean, do actual TV critics vote on the Emmys? It seems the entire body of voters is made up of my grandma. And every year the same news outlets hype up the Emmys like crazy, as if they actually meant something. It's tragic that the Emmys don't take advantage of what they could do — promote and save underwatched shows, expose viewers to innovative programs they wouldn't otherwise watch. I, for one, refuse to watch an awards program that honors the familiar and mediocre (ahem, Two and a Half Men) and consistently ignores truly great TV, like this year's snubs Battlestar Galactica and Veronica Mars. — Luke G.

Matt Roush: I wondered how long it would take before this contrary point of view would be expressed. (Happens every year around this time. And by the way, forgive the Emmy obsession in this week's columns. It did tend to dominate the traffic this week. I promise to move on to fresher topics soon.) We care for the same reason we care about the Oscars, the Grammys or the Tonys. It's the primary award ceremony in which the industry rewards its own, however imperfect the process is. I don't know how many times I've advised readers not to take the Emmys too seriously or to rely on the nominations to validate their sense of a show's worth. Cult shows like Battlestar and Veronica are never going to get their due, any more than Buffy ever did — even the unforgettable musical episode, which was ignored in music categories! The real crime of the Emmy-nomination process this year is that in some key categories, it all seems to have boiled down to who watched a single episode, as if that's the way TV series ought to be judged. If judges went into a room so oblivious to Lost that they couldn't make sense of the episode they screened, they had no business signing up to judge that category in the first place. It's a debacle this year, even more than usual.

Too true, MR, too true...

Litet videoklipp med Joss vid ett signeringsbord på årets Comic Con.

[AKS]

Jag älskar YouTube! Allt finns där.

[Illyria]

Efter alla små klipp jag sett från Comicon idag verkar det ha varit något att besöka. Bor i fel del av världen.

[AKS]

Ja, den där beryktade "dammen" är alldeles för stor. Jag är stolt över geeken i mig och skulle definitivt kunna tänka mig att åka på Comic con om den var i t ex London och en eller fler deltagare var sådana man ville träffa. Jag har ju redan varit på en convention för många år sedan och med tanke på hur trevliga skådespelarna var (som jag då avgudade) så var det en höjdarupplevelse som jag fortfarande tänker på med glädje och förundran.

[Illyria]

Jag skulle också vilja gå på något liknande Comicon, just den här i San Diego har extra lockande saker, som VM-panelen, den verkade verkligen härlig att ha varit på. Och nu var Joss också där... och säkert hur mycket annat som helst.

Jag kanske är sent ute för det kan ha nämnts i en annan tråd, men Amy Acker har fått en dotter.

Joss!!! Hans tal (med introduktion av Meryl Streep!) på Equality Now i maj. Wow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYaczoJMRhs

Han är rätt fantastisk...

Ok, typ några månader senare än alla andra ser jag det här klippet och det där när "nörd intervjuar Joss som låtsas vara nörd som imiterar Joss", och jag måste också instämma i hyllningskören. Jag ville bara krama datorskärmen och säga att han är bäst. Talet! Jag blev alldeles varm i hjärtat.

Från dagens Matt Roush:

Question: With the end of the WB era approaching and with Sunday night's rebroadcast of the pilots of its biggest shows, I was just wondering what you think that network's biggest or most influential show was. I know that Buffy was tops in quality and really brought about a renewed interest in vampires and horror/fantasy TV shows, but I think Dawson's Creek is the seminal WB show. I mean, it's a big part of our pop-culture lexicon, and how many imitators came out after that one? I was in college when these shows premiered, and, while no one I knew watched Buffy, pretty much everyone was at least familiar with Dawson's Creek.— Kristi

Matt Roush: Purely in terms of the WB brand, Dawson's is tops, no doubt about it. The show established the tone for a network that was still struggling for an identity, and became hugely influential in what followed. While 7th Heaven was more popular in terms of sheer numbers (because of its cross-generational appeal), it couldn't match Dawson's place in the zeitgeist. And Dawson's gave us half of TomKat; who'd have seen that coming? In cult terms, Buffy and Angel weren't merely WB's best series of all time, they're in the top tier of genre series ever. Right behind them I'd put Felicity, which had the sex appeal of Dawson's Creek but also a much deeper emotional resonance. It went far beyond the realm of guilty pleasure.

Jepp, det är sant, Roush!

Parents put Kofi, Spike and Blade on list of baby names

Kofi, Spike and Blade will be among the pupils arriving at primary schools in four years time, new research reveals.

The secretary general of the United Nations, a reformed blood-sucker and a crime-fighting vampire have apparently influenced parents' choice of names for their offspring.

Some 22 have been named Spike, an undead character from the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

(Fast hur vet man att de inte är döpta efter Tom Petty-låten?)

Nu på söndag, på Fanboy Radio, en hel timme med Joss.

FBR (inget utropstecken i den bokstavskombinationen) är en talk show i amerikansk radio om serietidningsindustrin och går visserligen att höra live via internet, fast jag har ingen aning om exakta tidpunkten såhär på rak arm, däremot släpps den också som podcast efter sändning. Jag lär hojta till då, med direktlänk till fil och så.

Q&A med Joss Whedon på tvguide.com (bl a BtVS S8):
[url=http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Interviews-Features/Article/default.aspx?posting={0C084F89-5673-43B9-9FFC-022578DAA927}]Joss Whedon Q&A[/url].

Alltså, jag förstår att S8 kommer att vara canon, men så länge det inte är live action kommer nog jag personligen aldrig att se det så. BtVS slutade iom S7 and that's it.

TVGuide.com: Any other TV plans? Or did the shabby treatment of Firefly do it for you?
Whedon: Firefly wounded me really badly, but I love, love, love TV. It's just a question of freeing up time. I have a few commitments, Wonder Woman being the biggest. I can't let any of them slide, so I've got to get through the things I already agreed to do before I can start agreeing to do other things. But I miss TV. I'm not going to lie: I love it.

Det enda jag vill är att ha tillbaka Joss Whedon i min TV. Och inte som gästskådespelare i Veronica Mars eller så. Jag bryr mig inte om filmer då det gäller herr Whedon! Jag förstår att han gör dte, men han är så suverän på TV-mediet att jag alltid kommer att önska honom tillbaka dit.

EDIT: Vad irriterande att jag inte får till URLen!

Joss T&A... öh, Q&A

[Illyria]

Joss måste göra tv igen, något annat existerar inte! (och nej, inte gästskådespelare)

Härlig läsning.

Underbare Joss. Uppdaterar min signatur ett tag

Will Smith och hans fru Jada har tydligen länge varit Buffytokiga och nämnde det i en intervju med USA Today.

The Smiths, for all their bonhomie in public, remain a private couple. They rarely go out, opting for nights at home watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel or playing Monopoly or Crazy Eights. Perhaps Pinkett Smith and Willow might bake a cake or sugar cookies.

Yes, deras 6-åriga dotter heter Willow. Och deras mellersta son (Jaden, 8 år), som nu börjat skådespela, sa tydligen i en annan intervju att den kändis han helst vill träffa är "Buffy".

På Whedonesque kommenterade någon:

At a con a couple of years ago, J August Richards told us that his first year on Angel, Will recognised him at a party - he was pretty blown away!
