Buffy the Vampire Slayer Reboot
Blyss:
For fuck's sake.
I read the Buffy the Vampire 'book', that came out when the original movie did. It was okay - but nothing to write home about. The movie? Crap. Utter crap.
The TV series stoked my interest somewhat, and toward the end, it got pretty good. Some of the early episodes were damn near unwatchable.
So, now someone wants to REBOOT Buffy the original movie? It isn't like it could be much worse than the first movie. As for whether or not Whedon is involved, I just don't care.

I cannot say a single bad thing about the original Buffy Movie. It is terrible in all the right ways for me to love it. I mean, in what other movie can you claim to have seen a one armed Pee-Wee Herman as a bloodthirsty and goofy fuckin vampire.

Not really. There are some parallels, sure. Someone is on the losing side of a war, then goes to the frontier and tries to avoid the control of the winning side. The difference is that in Firefly the losing side wasn't in favor of slave labor. Also, I remember reading that Whedon disagrees with most of the things he had Mal say.
ackblom12:
Man, the Browncoats were so incredibly obvious as this show's Confederates. Leaving out the slave labor issue simply left all of the other much more legitimate arguments the North and the South had in the show. It was one of the first things I noticed when I first started watching.
Noff:
Firefly is first and foremost a space western, so it needs an analogous war to the Civil War to provide a reason for people from the losing side to be where they are, at the edge of civilization. That doesn't mean Joss has "confederate sympathy."
