As to the new site - I downloaded Flash with no problem and have had no problem with the new site. Actually, I like it much better than the old one.

I've sat here and i've "listened" to countless people go back and forth over the whole rerun issue. I miss the days when there were blocks of new episodes in a row just as much as the next person, but with the way the industry is set up it's just not possible any more. Budgets won't allow for it. Having two roles (one on tv on in film) makes it more difficult. Something that no one has mentioned yet is unions and they have a BIG part in this. For the most part, the contracts with various unions state that they get so much time off a year...that basically puts shooting schedules at the mercy of the techies' availability. Actually, it's not even just the unions. It's the whole idea of contracts in general. WB gives them a contract for what they think is marketable and profitable. It was mentioned that BH90210 did summer episodes. True, but that was at the height of their popularity. Much as we all love Buffy, the show hasn't reach that level of confidence with the network yet. Also remember, WB is a relatively new, relatively small network. They havn't got the funding base to do the episodes we'd all like to see. And, unfortunately, even though there are a lot of us out there in Buffy fandom, it's still a cult phenomenon. When it gets more towards mainstream, then you'll start seeing fewer reruns. Until then, let's look at it this way. Maybe when they rerun WML2 this next week it won't have the glitch in it that it did the first time. :> standing down off the soap box, Lady C~ *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* GASP!, MCTP, Keeper of: Willow's Brill[iant] idea to rid Ms. Calendar of the Demon (TDA) -and- Joyce's broken dish (S) ========================================================================= Visit me at Visionary Keep http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Labyrinth/7829 - -or- at the Hall of Inspiration http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/4079 *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Mar 1998 11:45:45 From: Jeff Rohaly Subject: Re: BUFFY: Age the New Site SDA: >As to the new site - I downloaded Flash with no problem and have had no >problem with the new site. Actually, I like it much better than the old >one. I think you need at least Netscape 4 to view it properly as well >as Flash. I've got a 2 gig hard drive, so there's plenty of room. I just wanted to weigh in on this new Buffy site stuff for one reason. If you've got a really old computer and/or old browser, don't worry and give the new site a try; maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't. I doubt if anyone has a more ancient computer than mine -- a 486DX 33MhZ, 8 megs RAM, 250 meg hard drive, 33.6 modem, no sound card. I'll wait for the laughter to die down. I first tried the new site without downloading Shockwave. The only thing you really do need is to make sure that Javascript is enabled on your browser (so you can't have a *really* ancient browser since it won't have Javascript). If it's not enabled, you'll just get a black screen rather than a clickable image map. Without Shockwave, the pictures won't dance around and stuff but other than that you can navigate the site without a problem, use the posting board, read episode and character summaries and so on. Then I wanted to see if my ancient computer can handle Shockwave which it could, slowly. I don't have sound, so the only difference I noted was that indeed, the pictures danced around and stuff (and of course, the pages took much longer to download because of the Shockwave stuff.) Anyway, my point is just not to be scared away from the new site because you think you need all this fancy stuff to use it -- you really don't, although having it would kick it up a notch.

I've had some freaky experiences with a few. However, I have good friends into some of this stuff and there's a few points I'd like to make. >Common sense should tell you that biting people and drinking blood >isn't something to be proud of nor does it make you an actual >vampire. Common sense also says that it's wrong to throw your 14 year old daughter out of the house because you want your boyfriend to spend the night. Common sense says you shouldn't beat the hell out of your child because they get a C. For the most part, amoung the people in the groups that I know, the violence they breed has been bred into them. They're proud of it because it means they've survived another day. Also, some of them really are vampires (but I won't get into the psychic bit because it'll end up way off topic and may offend some of the more conservative, less magically inclined). >And as for these cults using "Buffy" as a scapegoat for their >dementia, have they totally missed the point? There's not one "vampire" I know that would say "Buffy made me do it." They look on Buffy as something of an Anti-Christ for the vampire world. To them, Buffy portrays the "misconception" of vampires as a despised and doomed race. Vampires aren't the bad guys to them. "Buffy" is the instigator only in the minds of people who make no ditinction between Goth and Vampire, or Vamyre and Vampire. "Buffy" is blamed by those who are looking for something to blame besides themselves. I hate to say it, but this stuff really does start in the home. >So what is up with these people? I think they're just wastes of life >without reason or insight. What is up with these people, at least the ones I know, is that they are looking for a way to frighten their parents and others the way they had been frightened. They're looking for a way to prove they aren't like their parents and won't become them. It's not the right way, no. But it's the only way they know.

Also >remember, WB is a relatively new, relatively small network. I realize that what I'm about to say gives away the fact that I have watched 90210 for a long, long time, so shoot me. Anyway, 90210 first did summer episodes in 1991 after the first season (they also did it the following summer, after their second season). So actually they did the first of the summer eps before the height of 90210's popularity and most things that I read back then credited the 1991 summer episodes with generating some of that popularity. But as you say, television is a much different business than it was even back in the early 90s. In any case, my FOX-WB analogy sees Dawson's Creek as The WB's 90210, whereas Buffy is its X-Files. In its early seasons, The X-Files was critically acclaimed but was more of a cult hit, not generating the ratings of the soap opera, 90210. Similarly, at the current time, the critically acclaimed Buffy can't match the ratings of The WB's soap opera, Dawson's Creek. But we all know that the relative successes of The X-Files and 90210 have since flipped in a big way.

Also, the Bed was different, it wasn;t like the one w/ the headboard thing in BB&B, it was plain. Also, Willow could be o the 2nd floor, & just have a balcony, beacuse some of the houses around the commmunties I live in, have a balcony on each side if the house, or the front, & it's not nescarily the master bedroom.

What about the really hard-working actors in showbiz? Those on daytime soaps? They shoot hundreds of pages a day - tape a single episode in one day - 5 days a week... and much of their product is far superior to the inane material of most primetime (glamour status) programs! Ask Sarah on which show she worked harder - BUFFY or ALL MY CHILDREN? Unless she outright lied - the answer would have to be AMC. Make no mistake about it - Sarah was simply brilliant on AMC and richly deserved her Emmy. But her job on BUFFY is like a stroll in the park compared to her former daytime schedule! Yet - in those days - Sarah found time to tape AMC, attend endless rounds of p.a. events and seemingly had an interview/ photo spread in every weekly soap mag and tabloid. She did all this while she also had to maintain the humdrum things all of us must cope with in living our lives from day to day (fish gotta swim... birds gotta fly - laundry must be done... bills must be paid.) Sarah looked happy, healthy, and seemed to enjoy the perks that came with being an acclaimed soap ingenue. But she was ambitious and chose to move on beyond the world of daytime soaps. (And I thank God she wasn't one of the talented stars - i.e. Susan Lucci, Vanessa Marcil, Deidre Hall - who preferred the security of soap fame with an occasional foray into other acting venues!) Sarah wanted more... a lot more. And now she's getting it. So she has to work at night sometimes and pose for the cover of ROLLING STONE (instead of SOAP OPERA DIGEST) - well, shed no tears for Sarah. She can handle whatever comes her way! And I certainly don't want this to be misconstrued as criticism - because I adore Sarah Michelle Gellar and support everything she does. She is my absolute favorite actress. and I think she has what it takes to achieve true superstardom. But keep things in perspective - Sarah and her cohorts have a rather "cushy" life... so shed no tears for Ms. Gellar.

You can buy a copy for upwards of $100 if you really want to, I suppose. This is pretty much the standard these days for movies--come out for rental first, then later have a release prices for sales. I figure that IKWYDLS will eventually come out released for mass consumption, if you will later on this year. Until then, you can rent it and if you've two VCRs.... Or wait 'til it comes on your local pay-per-view outlet and pay to seeit and tape it at the same time.

Also, I don't know if this is true for the television end of the Warner Brothers company, but as far as film production goes, Warner Brothers gets really up-tight about the number of people a show is allowed to have working on certain stages at certain times.

Despite the song I doubt they manage to get 8 days a week. :) From what I've heard a typical Buffy episode takes about 8 days to film and they work 6 days a week. Not every cast member will be there everyday, though I would guess that SMG is probably at work 5 of 6 days since she's in the majority of the shots. > What about the really hard-working actors > in showbiz? Those on daytime soaps? > They shoot hundreds of pages a day - > tape a single episode in one day And it shows. They are typically limited to a very small number of camera angles and sets. Buffy moves around a lot more and provides a lot more variety. Movies even more so. Soaps often film in one take and rely on a lot of overacting to portray their emotion. Buffy is certainly more subtle and takes more rehearsal and work to convey. > Ask Sarah on which show she worked > harder - BUFFY or ALL MY CHILDREN? She did say something in an interview once about the luxurious pace of movie filming vs TV vs soaps. I'm not sure you could say that working on AMC was harder though. Faster paced but that doesn't necessarily equate to working harder. > Yet - in those days - Sarah found time to > tape AMC, attend endless rounds of p.a. > events and seemingly had an interview/ > photo spread in every weekly soap mag > and tabloid. Add up the hours per week working on AMC and on BtVS and I'd bet she's working a lot more hours now than then. > But keep things in perspective - Sarah > and her cohorts have a rather "cushy" > life... so shed no tears for Ms. Gellar. I disagree. It's different from what most of us are used to but I wouldn't call it cushy. Especially for someone like SMG who choses to work on movies during the Buffy hiatus. From all that I've seen she's a rather driven person. I'd guess that more people would accuse her of working too much than would say she's living a cushy life. I won't shed any tears for her or the rest. This is the life she chose and she seems to be very happy with it. Neither will I think her lazy or remote for not making as many appearances or giving as many interviews as some of her fans may desire.
