I always thought Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a popular show, but apparently is not very cool to say you like Buffy. But I disagree. I respect people who have watched the show and don’t particularly like it, but the most uncool of the uncool people are the ones who think are TOO COOL to watch or like a show like Buffy.
I’m one of those people who grew up watching Buffy… something that my writing teacher thought was nifty. The fact is that I was like 11 when I remember watching an episode of Buffy… and I have been a fan ever since. Am now 22, so have been a Buffy (and Whedon fan) for half my life. Le GASP!
I’ve seen the episodes so many times, that even my mom (who despises Fantasy and Sci-Fi) has seen repeat episodes of Buffy. Once, while watching a re-run on Canal Fox, my mom told me “Haven’t you watched this episode before? I know I have seen it at least 3 times… so by now you must know all the lines.”
The fact is that growing up watching Buffy shaped who I am today (I am most certainly sure about that). Being an impressionable 11-year-old with a knack for martial arts (am a fan of Bruce Lee), I thought Buffy kicked major ASS.
So it was so easy for me to watch Buffy… with a combination of ass-kicking, supernatural, and teenager-ness that gave a great transition of viewing habits between my pre-teen and teen years. It does help a lot as a young adult to know that Buffy was metaphorical (but you don’t really know what a metaphor means when you’re 12… do you?). So for those of you who don’t know… What the EFF is Buffy about?

inside the gold’s following of Nine made me wonder…
Yes, Nine will have a pretty heavy list of credits when the trailer comes out. You can just imagine…
Nine… starring
Double Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, Academy Award Winner Marion Cotillard, Academy Award Winner Judi Dench, Academy Award Winner Sophia Loren, Academy Award Winner Nicole Kidman, Academy Award Nominee Penelope Cruz
Directed by Academy Award Winner Rob Marshall.
Which made me, and other people, wonder if there had been other heavily Oscar Winner projects. I can’t really think of anything at the top of my head, but I was checking IMDb (and got side-tracked a little), and I didn’t come up with anything. Hahahaha.
From just trailers, I thought Burn After Reading did a pretty filled Academy Award credited film. Let’s see… I had to check some of the credits, but I don’t think it does as Oscar-studded as Nine. Here goes~~
Burn After Reading starring…
Academy Award Winner George Clooney, Academy Award Winner Tilda Swinton, Academy Award Winner Frances McDormand, Academy Award Nominee Brad Pitt, Academy Award Nominee John Malkovich
Written and directed by Academy Award Winners Ethan and Joel Coen.
I could even stretch this a WHOLE lot more and say Cold Mountain was pretty Oscar-studded. LOL. Considering some of the actors earned their nominations and winnings after the film xD. Check this out…
Cold Mountain starring…
Academy Award Winner Nicole Kidman, Academy Award Winner Renee Zellweger, Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, Academy Award Nominee Jude Law, Academy Award Nominee Natalie Portman.
Directed by Academy Award Winner Anthony Minghella
Have you got any project that is Oscar-studded??

How rocking is Tilda Swinton?? Very rocking indeed!
Apparently, she will begin a film fest of her own called The Ballerina Ballroom Cinema of Dreams, in her hometown of Nairn in Scotland. No biggies, no red carpet madness… just love for movies. Best part of it? Tickets for the films (apparently Tilda’s favorites, and some others) will be £3 (GBP) or… baked goodies (yes, baked goodies… yum), meaning home-made cookies, home-made cupcakes or anything home-made stuff u can come up with, I suppose. Hmm… home-made cupcakes~~~ my aunt should send her some. Tilda would love. xD
Yes, I had the best banana cake-yness just two days ago. My aunt makes the best home-made baked goodies.
Festival will run from August 15 to August 23, and you don’t have to worry about uncomfortable seats because apparently Tilda will be using beanbags. I hope they’re not like my cousin’s beanbag… because there are nice beanbags, but my cousin’s is not one of them~~
