Check it out. A Scholarly forum being held...about Buffy heh. No matter what WB says, if you have this much influence on culture, you've written something worthwhile.
Current Mood:amused
Current Music:freaking mockingbirds. Shut up already
Thankyou. It's supposed to be blue but... *glares at screen* *screen smiles placidly* my screen and I have certain misunderstanding when it comes to colour. *G*
"But then some of the best conversations I had about spiritual and moral issues were sparked by scenes from Buffy, like what happens after we die and whether the needs of one should outweigh the needs of the many."
I went to a Buffy Symposium 18months ago -- November 2002. Unfortunately, all the people -- top scholars in cinema studies -- were Spuffy Spike Redemptionista Fangirls, and insisted that Spike was redeemed by the end of season five and dismissed the attempted rape with "he wouldn't have done it" when talking about how hard-done by Spike was in season six and how Buffy used and abused the poor, innocent guy.
Guess who bit her tongue all through the thing? It was being held by one of Australia's top universities and it was packed -- people sitting in the aisles -- and I didn't think me challenging her to a smack-down would have helped much.
There. I can now point my mother towards that article and say "Remember the $200 you sent me for my birthday last year and then tsked tsked tsked when I said I went out and spent it on Seasons 1 - 6 of Buffy DVD box sets? Well, I was being scholarly...nyah nyah."
