Remember how Buffy The Vampire Slayer was a movie long before it became a hit TV show ushering in the vampire craze? (Okay, maybe Anne Rice had something to do with that craze too, although her vampires were decidedly creepier, nor were they prime-time friendly). Well, it turns out that they’re bringing Buffy back – the movie, not the TV show. It’s the latest in the Big Remakes push. Will you watch it? Were you a fan? The scuttlebutt in Hollywood on this remake is also that the legendary Joss Whedon, the man behind the original Buffy, will not be involved… and this has fans in an uproar. (I never watched the show but I’ve interviewed Joss and he’s certainly one sharp guy. Plus an interesting fact which certainly adds to his mystique – the only music he listens to while working? Soundtracks. I thought that was pretty cool.)
Moving on — and it’s pure coincidence that the subject matter here is linked thematically – it’s time to revisit Nominees. As in, today we conclude our look at the People’s Choice Award Nominees for Favorite Movie Actor with our final of five hunky guys we love to love. We’ve looked at Depp, DiCaprio, Downey and Pattinson and now it’s time to set our sites on a young man who can neither vote nor drink alcohol nor rent a car in this country. But given the hysteria surrounding him at last year’s PCA’s, I suspect there are any number of ladies who would rent him pretty much anything he wanted. The baby of our Favorite Movie Actors is of course Taylor Lautner, whose transformation from man to wolf was only overshadowed by his transformation from boy to larger boy in order to keep the coveted Twilight role. Lautner allegedly packed on some 30 lbs and the movie studio wasted no time making sure every single one of them was visible in all their sculpted, buffed n’ cut glory. His Jacob Black went from boyish appealing after-school-special actor with a ridiculous wig and clunky/awkward / defiant lines, to eye-catching hot guy rising to the task of a noble creature looking after his beloved. Pretty amazing; the guy’s worked hard, he’s maintained a good attitude and he can laugh at himself – even when Taylor Swift might be laughing a little too. Nor is it easy to host SNL when you’re 40 — let alone 18. So here’s to growing up very, very fast. And to being a major heartthrob at a very young age. He’s been working steadily since childhood, although he hasn’t made a ton of movies yet — so let’s just examine the big starring roles (bear in mind we already did these for Rob, but here’s where the Team Jacob types get to weigh in.) Voice your choice in today’s featured poll and tell us which of Taylor Lautner’s movies is your favorite:
1) Twilight
2) New Moon
3) Eclipse
4) The Adventure of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3D
I acquired more interesting things on this losing weight issue. One issue is that good nutrition is very vital whenever dieting. A tremendous reduction in fast foods, sugary foods, fried foods, sugary foods, beef, and whitened flour products could possibly be necessary. Keeping wastes unwanted organisms, and poisons may prevent ambitions for losing weight. While certain drugs quickly solve the condition, the terrible side effects are usually not worth it, and in addition they never present more than a temporary solution. It is just a known idea that 95% of dietary fads fail. Thank you for sharing your notions on this site.
I’ve recently started a weblog, the knowledge you present on this site has helped me tremendously. Thanks for your whole time & work.
A movie about Buffy without joss and the original cast is just doomed to fail..i mean, no real buffy fan will want to watch this..its a really bad idea! ill just stick with my buffy season 1-7 and Angel season 1-5 dvds..ive watched over and over again and i just dont get enough!! the magic of buffy was in joss and the original cast!!
all us buffy fans have been waiting years to hear this but like everyone else has said, a buffy movie without joss or the orginal casts from the tv show is just stupid!! you cant make a buffy movie without buffy and the scooby gang. i will just stick to watching all 7 seasons that i have on dvd and playing with my scythe that i bought on ebay
Just gotta say, Sarah hit the nail on the head: suckfest (and not in a good way). No good can come of this nonsense.
Amazing article. My friends had the same when they were looking for Wicked Tickets. I mentioned to them to Buy Wicked Tickets from BuyWickedTickets . net

I realy liked your innovative angle that you have on the topic. I wasnt thinking on this at the time I started browsing for tips. Your ideas was totally simple to understand. Im glad to find out that there’s an person here that obviously understands on the spot what its is talking about.
Hey I just wanted to let you know, I like the content on your website. But I am utilising Chromium on a machine running version 9.10 of Ubuntu and the look and feel aren’t quite correct. Not a important deal, I can still fundamentally read the articles and look for for info, but just wanted to inform you about that.
Keep up the good work!
Lots of bloglove

Thanks for that , very interesting. I get so bored of plain rice but i’m not very good in the kitchen. There’s loads of easy ideas at this rice recipes homepage I found that you might be interested in too.
Hey 49yy3w, very interesting post, it really got me thinking. Thank you. lce34
How do you make a Buffy movie without Joss? I will not be watching this one. The TV show is the best and I still watch the reruns and read the graphic novels. If Joss becomes involved I will watch it. I’m really not interested in a remake of the original move anyway.
I have been trying to lose weight for a few months. Pills, diets, programs… nothing worked! At the end I realised that I had to change my ways of eating and sweat. I’m losing a lb per week by eating 400 calories less than I burn on a daily basis
a Buffy reboot – Joss Whedon – any of the cast = suckfest
honestly, when i first read of a reboot, i was eccstatic!!!!! i mean as a fan of the show i have been waiting 7 years for this!!! but to find out that no Joss of origional cast is going to be involved is an outrage!!! i am personaly heartbroken!!! the only way to bring Buffy back the right way is with Joss and the origional cast!!! i can’t believe anyone would even consider doing such a thing!! and it makes absolutely no sense that WB would bring back Buffy (the best show ever put on television) without the origionals, but will absolutely not agree to bring back Veronica Mars!! That of which has the support of the creator, cast and fans!!! This will undoubtably BOT have the support of the fans without Joss and the cast!!! i’m heartbroken to tears to hear of this!!!! i want Buffy back probably more than anyone, but WITH JOSS!!!! AND THE CAST!!!!!!!! I can only hope the studio come to its senses and does it the right way!!!! WITH JOSS AND THE CAST!!!!!! (In case i hadn’t made that clear.)
This “Buffy” movie will not be what fans have been waiting or asking for if Joss Whedon is not a part of it or the actors/actresses from the tv show are not in it or are a part of it. The Buffy/Angel fans will not be happy with this movie and probably boycott it making their outrage known.
The tv show by far was way more popular than the movie by a landslide. Joss Whedon and the actors/actresses in the tv show is what made Buffy the Vampire Slayer a huge hit with a large fan base and cult following.
I have the dvds to all the tv episodes of buffy. The Tv series with the actors & actresses in it was much much better than the movie!!!!
