Quote of the Day

So this has nothing to do with Dead Calm, but I'd be remiss not to post it - Sarah Michelle Gellar, in a conversation with Moviehole, was asked if she'd ever do a Buffy movie, and said this:

"I have to be honest. That thought really scares me. Buffy was a movie and it didn't work because her story was longer than that.”, Gellar said. “This was about a girl that you had to get to know and it took so long to figure out how to crack the ending so that people weren’t upset. Of course I never say never, so I’m not saying no, but my fear would be to open something like that up again, to only end it again.

“Like Sex in the City is such a great ending, so I’m curious to see now how they’re going to open it up and how to shut it for us again. I feel like a show you love ends, you have like a mourning period, so do you open yourself up to that again, to wanting it but knowing it’s going to end. That whole thing worries me a little bit.”

Not an unfair answer in the slightest. It'd definitely reopen a whole can of worms, and telling a new Buffy tale in only two hours could leave the rabid fans like myself... unsatisfied. Like tearing off a long-healed scab and not even having the time to suture up the massive gaping wound again. Blood puddling in our collective socks.

But then, Joss managed a really very satisfying coda to the Firefly saga with Serenity. So if anybody could do it, as always, Joss is the man.
