:twisted: ;)

If you press the ALT GR button (to the righthand side of the spacebar), hold it down and press the e, or the a, or whatever, you get the accent above it.

Why should they ruin something so perfect as Buffy? It even had a good enough final, where you could say goodbye in peace, and they're going to ruin everything? :( or :devil:

I so loved Buffy, I have all the DVDs and have watched them a lot, especially the musical episode :p I know it by heart

"Let me rest in peace" God, I love Spike. :oops:

I'm also ashamed to say that I had a hankering after Lorne in Angel. There's just something about a guy with green skin who wears orange shirts!!!

Indeed.




The Internet exploded in anger Thursday at news that Warner Bros., Atlas Entertainment and Vertigo Entertainment are planning a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer film without Joss Whedon, maestro of the 1992 film and 1997-2003 TV series.

Whedon himself fanned the flames, advising fans to "leave me to my pain" in a witty missive.

But Whedon was offered a chance to be involved with the new Buffy -- and passed.

According to studio insiders, he was approached last year after Buffy rightsholder Fran Rubel Kuzui and husband Kaz Kuzui began developing a remake with Vertigo. After presented with the opportunity, Whedon decided he'd rather work on other projects (he's making Marvel Studios' The Avengers). Producers then began searching for a writer and late last year hired actress-turned-scribe Whit Anderson. The unknown Anderson, with only bit film appearances to her credit, came up with a take on the Buffy myth that was strong enough after a couple of drafts to lure Atlas, which partnered with Vertigo to set it up at a studio.

Fox, distributor of the 1992 movie, had first crack, but passed, so Warners slid in, betting that Whedon or no Whedon, Buffy can still slay at the box office.
