The Most Fab Vamps of All

FabSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:00:22 -0700

You want vampires. I'll give you vampires. I'll give you the most Fab vamps of all. Not to sound like a vampire snob, but I've always been obsessed, always wanted to be one. Pre-Twilight, post-The Lost Boys, I have always known them to be the coolest, sexiest, most manipulative monsters around. Thus, the current vampire craze isn't news to me - I've always been crazed. Here are my top vampire picks from my personal movie collection. Throw a vampire-theme party, Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans unite!

Vampire Falls: From Horror Tale to Love Story

TresSugar — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:00:00 -0700

What kind of vampire wanders about in daylight, sports no fangs, and politely declines glasses of lukewarm blood? The most popular one in the world! Edward Cullen, played by our favorite floppy-haired boy du jour Robert Pattinson.

For a genre born out of the dark side, it's become awfully lighthearted. So much that Slate article "Vampires Suck" warns we're setting boys and girls up for two very different first dates. While girls dream about Edward "let's-save-ourselves-for-marriage-even-though-I'm-90" Cullen, boys are online watching porn, expecting sex on the first date and a threesome by the third.

I say that might be going a touch far, since we're pretty sure teenage girls aren't living in Twilight-encrusted vacuums . . . well, we're mostly sure! But the concern does raise another pressing question: when did this blood-sucking villain go soft?

Buffy Could Come Back to the Big Screen - Sans Joss

BuzzSugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 05:30:00 -0700

With vampires all the rage these days, I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone started talking about bringing Buffy the Vampire Slayer back to the big screen. But I'm still surprised at the thought that this movie-turned-TV show could get a total reboot with all-new characters and no Joss Whedon.

Here's the deal: Original Buffy movie director Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz Kuzui, have owned the rights to the Buffy story and characters since the beginning. They developed Whedon's movie script and helped him make the Buffy and Angel TV series. And now, they and Vertigo Entertainment are talking about a potential reboot or remake (but not prequel or sequel), as The Hollywood Reporter writes:

The new Buffy film, however, would have no connection to the TV series, nor would it use popular supporting characters like Angel, Willow, Xander or Spike. Vertigo and Kuzui are looking to restart the story line without trampling on the beloved existing universe created by Whedon. . . . One of the underlying ideas of Buffy allows Vertigo and Kuzui to do just that: that each generation has its own vampire slayer to protect it. The goal would be to make a darker, event-sized movie that would, of course, have franchise potential.

The article notes that while the producers haven't ruled out Whedon's involvement, they also haven't approached him yet.

So, what'll it be, Buffy fans? Is a Buffy story without Xander and the rest really a Buffy worth seeing? Or do you believe there's potential for an entirely new Buffy world that could take on a life of its own?

The WB is Back - Online

BuzzSugar — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 11:31:54 -0700

Who didn't love at least one show on The WB? Back in the day, it was the one network that spoke to my generation, with shows like Dawson's Creek, Felicity, and Gilmore Girls all reaching the ranks of must-see TV. But ratings dropped over the years, and in 2006, The WB and and UPN merged into the new CW; The WB was no more.

Until today, that is. As of now, the network is back as The WB.com, with full episodes and full seasons of favorite WB shows (and Warner Bros.-produced shows that aired on other networks). At its launch, the lineup includes the whole first season of Veronica Mars, 10 episodes of The OC, and a sampling of episodes from Friends, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gilmore Girls, among others.

The site's also loaded with special features for folks who like to make their own videos, including a clip maker called the "Wblender," and a bunch of quizzes and games (I'm a little embarrassed to admit I just killed some time playing The OC Memory Match, which is just an online version of the childhood game Memory but with pictures of those pretty, pretty Orange County kids). The site will also be rolling out a bunch of original shows in the coming months, so to hear about those and watch a trailer, just read more.

TheWB.com has recruited Josh Schwartz, McG, and other big-name producers to create original online series for the site. Among the shows lined up:

Sorority Forever - from McG, this show is a mystery/drama set in a sorority house. It'll premiere Sept. 8.
Blue Water High - Up now, it's about an Australian surf academy.
Whatever, Hollywood - Up now, this show's about three best friends making online videos (how meta!).
Untitled Josh Schwartz Project - Schwartz and music supervisor extraordinaire Alexandra Patsavas are teaming up for a show set in the LA music world.

Here's a video taste of what it's all about. Do you think you'll check out the The WB.com?

What Do You Make of Buffy: The Animated Series?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:30:17 -0700

This little clip of an animated version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been making the rounds on the Internet, and for good reason: It's completely fascinating to see what a cartoon Sunnydale, filled with two-dimensional Buffy, Willow, Giles, and friends, might have looked like had it ever been made into a series.

Alas, the project - which counted among its writers Buffy's Jane Espenson - never came to be, so this little three-minute clip may be all we'll ever see. But at least it's something, right? And no, your ears don't deceive you: That's Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendan, and Anthony Head voicing their animated counterparts. (Buffy, on the other hand, is Giselle Loren, who also did Buffy's voice for the video games.)

The clip is filled (and I mean filled) with snappy one-liners, as well as a glowing vampire and a giant dragon. Does it work for you? To check it out, just read more.

HBO Hands Over Saturday to '80s and '90s Comedy

BuzzSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 16:30:17 -0700

Calling all Coneheads fans and folks who thought Buffy was funny even before she got a regular TV series: HBO has a movie lineup just for you. Starting bright and early tomorrow, the network is declaring a Classic Comedy Day, airing a half-dozen movies from the late '80s and early '90s back-to-back.

The day kicks off with Coneheads at 6:30 a.m. EDT and PDT then stops through the likes of The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! and Weekend at Bernie's before finally wrapping up with Mrs. Doubtfire at 5:45 p.m.

Of the six, I think I'm most excited about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which airs at 10:30 a.m. and which I haven't seen since some junior high-era sleepover. Don't worry, I have no illusions that it's good - I just can't wait to see if I still remember any of the best lines (and cheers). Any of these hold a special place in your heart? To see the full schedule, just read more.

6:30 a.m. - Coneheads
10:30 a.m. - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Noon - The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!
2 p.m. - Parenthood
4 p.m. - Weekend at Bernie's

Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams (whose stalker has been sectioned) were the subject of Channel 4's New Heroes Of Comedy documentary last night. The repeat run of the three-part series featured Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen in previous weeks, and celebrates the success of some of our best-loved modern day comedians. I'm a big fan of all of these funny men and would love to know which is your favourite, so tell me: who is your new hero of comedy?
