    Joss has a real talent for writing amazing scripts and making characters memorable. Buffy was amazing, so was Angel, and the little bit I have seen of Firefly, I liked. Characters like Willow, Spike, Darla, Drusilla will live on forever, great writing is key, and Joss is a master. I have faith in Joss to make this a good movie, safe to say, way better than Catwoman

    Political Correctness... like the mentality that drives sales of Maxim, Playboy, and Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volleyball. I don't think we need to worry about her losing the skimpy suit, since the only people complaining about "decency in entertainment" are the conservatives who complain about politcal correctness.

    On the good side, though, it's not being directed by Uwe Boll. So, uh... thumbs up on that one.

    was the "iconic female heroine of our time." Wonder Woman was your grandparents' Buffy.

    I realize that you're joking, but lets talk about this for a moment.

    Movies have changed. And not always for the better. Remember the horror/slasher and sex-comedy movies of the 80s?

    You had boobies and bush EVERYWHERE! Porky's? Yes! Porky's 2? Yes. The various Friday the 13ths? Yes! The Nightmare on Elm Street series? Yes! The police academy series? Yes!

    We had a gratuitous boobie genre. Stewardess School. Up The Creek. Hardbodies. Valley Girl. The Last American Virgin. Bachelor Party. The list goes on and on.

    Where have our boobies gone? The best boobie scene in a recent hollywood movie was the topless sunbathing in Swordfish.

    I couldn't tell you the last time I saw bush in a hollywood movie. And it's damned unfair!
