Oh, HELL No.
This is some stupid fuckery right here.
A new Buffy movie without Joss Whedon or any of the Buffy cast and made by the same dumbasses that produced the first movie.
Dear Hollywood,
I know you fuckers have very little original ideas and hell, I’m all for revamping some old franchise and breathing life into it. HOWEVER, BUFFY ISN’T DEAD YET. ASSHOLES.
The premise is based on the idea that “unto each generation a slayer is born”. Meaning they can make a brand new slayer with new Scoobies and all would be copacetic. I’d be down with that, oh, in about 20 years or so.
However, they are still playing out Buffy Season 8 in comic books. And Angel After the Fall. And Spike just got a new book. The series has only been gone for 5 years. And Joss won’t be writing it. That’s some bullshit.
Furthermore, how the hell can you have a Buffy The Vampire Slayer movie with NO GOD DAMN BUFFY?
This is my favorite part: The new “Buffy” film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon, putting the parties in a similar situation faced by Paramount, J.J. Abrams and his crew when relaunching “Star Trek.”
Um. Star Trek was OLD. And the original cast is OLD. Some are gone. And it has seen several reincarnations already. And this was the first movie that made substantial money in the history of ever for that franchise. And JJ Abrahms kept the same characters and told their story from a different perspective.
THIS IS SO NOT THE SAME THING YOU FUCKING JACKASSES.
They are trampling on sacred ground, here. I will not have it. I would like to barf on their heads. While kicking them repeatedly.
It is my personal mission to stop this ridiculous shit.

Um…what?!!!
I’m a HUGE Buffy fan myself, as you know, and I did not know this and now I’m pissed the fuck off. Yeah, they are still writing the comic books and they’re still very good. The story is still going on and it’s not dead. The fact they are making a movie and not having “Buffy” in it is ridunculous!!! I mean really…??? I’m JUST getting used to Dollhouse, and I’m still not sure about it, because every now and again they will throw in some old buffy character or a guest star from Buffy and it makes me miss it.
Fuck that shit. This makes me not a happy panda. But you know the sad part is, I will have to see this piece of shit movie just ’cause. Real sad, real sad.
I’m so glad that I won’t be dragged to this movie if it’s actually made. (It most likely won’t be made.)
I… have nothing to say to this, but I wanted to comment. It’s part of my ‘rule the universe’ plan.
) Great rant, though! <3
With you sista!
Let’s put on some brown lipstick and some square-toed chunky boots, march on down to Hollywood and open up a can of whoopass on these mo-rons. I got your six, girl.
