Sarah Michelle Gellar: I Can’t Be Prouder of ‘Buffy’

It’s been 10 years since “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” ended its seven-year run on TV. I had the chance to ask series star Sarah Michelle Gellar about the show’s lasting legacy.

“Wait, wait. Hold on. Really?” she replied when The Huffington Post told her the 10th anniversary of the “Buffy” finale was upon us. “Wow. God, you just blew my mind.” Robin Williams, who accompanied Gellar on the red carpet said, “It’s kind of wonderful.”

“It is,” Gellar said. “I’m incredibly proud of that show — proud of everybody on it, of what we did … You can’t be prouder of that show. It still holds up in reruns and I’m blessed every day … I’ve been pretty lucky.”

A Humble Plea: Give Kerry Washington Some Good Film Roles

From the article: “Of course, the bigger problem is that quality roles in studio films are just not available in great numbers for women, period. So the competition must indeed be fierce. Even when you find a good-quality movie with a decent promotional push from a studio, like, say, The Place Beyond the Pines, it often offers great roles in abundance for its male cast while leaving its female characters — and thus Eva Mendes and Rose Byrne — somewhat underserved. So when you talk about actresses who should be getting better parts, there’s an aspect of having to take from other good actresses.”

Seal of Lady Elizabeth de Sevorc, made in England in the 13th century (source).

“Women are rarely depicted on horseback on seals. Elizabeth de Sevorc is called ‘Lady Elizabeth’ in her legend. No mention is made of her husband or father and so it is possible that she had lands and wealth of her own.” - from the British Museum curator’s comments.

Not about television at all, but about women in history being awesome.

30 Damsels In Distress Who Kick Ass

OK I would like to take umbrage with the name of this list as it is WHOLLY misleading and I would say based off of the descriptions most of them are NOT damsels in distress, I mean Ripley from Alien? Please.

A Buffy Episode Guide in Limerick Form - Fool for Love (5x07)

Spike has slain many Slayers, it’s true,
But deep down what he is, through and through,
Is a big fool for love
Who is terrified of
Seeing Buff tear his dead heart in two.

This is a great episode of Buffy, I highly recommend it.

Spike is hands down my favorite (male) character on BTVS. Props to this blog for their excellent limericks - check them out!

If People Talked About Seinfeld Like They Talk About Girls [Click for more]

Do you watch Seinfeld? Do you like it? REALLY?! Ugh, I mean it’s fine, I guess, I just think it has A LOT of problems.

The whole thing just seems SO self-indulgent. Seinfeld stars a comedian named Jerry Seinfeld who plays a comedian named Jerry. Wow. Really, Jerry? He also created the show and writes it. It’s like he can’t give up control of anything.

Sometimes it seems like he’s just using this show as an excuse to play out his fantasies, y’know? Every show opens with him performing stand-up to a great crowd that loves every one of his jokes. And he’s constantly having sex with these beautiful women. Like, WAY too beautiful for a schlubby guy like Jerry. Even George, who’s like short and fat, and Kramer, who’s just kind of gross, both also have sex with these beautiful women. It’s like, yeah, okay, Jerry. I guess enjoy the dream while you can.

He really seems to think he’s funny. Do you think he’s funny? I don’t think he’s funny. Like, the critics say it’s a funny show, but the comedy is kind of weird. And nothing ever HAPPENS. It’s just these privileged white people (and I mean, they’re ALL white) living their lives in New York. The only non-white characters are wacky immigrant cab drivers and soup vendors. Oh, hilarious: they can’t speak English well — what’s so groundbreaking about that? Continue

This is brilliant.
