Buffy vs Edward

Hmm... I don't know if you've already seen this one, came out in June I think:



Kudos to the person who put this together (interviewed by LATimes here)! as a big Buffy fan I was contrasting Twilight to Joss Whedon's creation a lot in my mind when I saw it. The intermix of the two oeuvres kind of shows up some of the kitschy dialogue lines... (disclaimer: I did enjoy Twilight when I saw it and later read it, and am looking forward to New Moon)

But the question that really comes to mind when I watch this (or other video montages from movies/series/music) is: WHERE ON EARTH DO PEOPLE FIND THE TIME TO DO THESE THINGS?!?!?!
I mean, I can't even sit down to put together a couple of video segments I have stored on the computer from a friend's camera... it takes hours to pick the fragments you want, edit them together, add photos or music! But to do something like this where the person has gone through and interlaced clips not only from a movie but from TV episodes covering several seasons? (I counted episodes from seasons 1, 2, 4 and 5 of Buffy there) Yikes!

Oh well, I guess I'd better just thank them for it because it can be very entertaining! :o)

TV Addiction: cancellation rant addendum... and homage

Well, after my rant the other day, it appears we have another series to mourn... with FOX officially announcing their 2009-2010 schedule, it's official that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has ended its run with the 2nd season finale. *sigh* Although this has been expected / dreaded for some time now, it still hurts.
On the plus side, at least Dollhouse has been renewed so we get to glimpse into the workings of crazy Joss Whedon's mind for another 13 episodes at least! ;o)

So, in memory of my favourite shows cancelled before their time, here goes a fan video someone put together in honour of one of them (Firefly) to a really great tune. And yeah, all too often the best shows really do need a Hero to pull them off the bubble and into renewal-land!

Addendum (May 20): Summer Glau thanks the fans:
