Just been sitting around while people out and about in the neighborhood are shooting of fireworks, grr. HELLO, it's not the 4th of July yet. Don't get me wrong fireworks are cool, but not in suburbs where houses are all right next to each other. Fireworks or more fun when it's done safely in a place where there is room and not a great chance for setting someone's houe on fire.
Anyhow I was thinking about many things. One being why would a figurine company out of the blue decide to stop all their lines for Buffy and Angel starting right now? Doesn't make much sense. They should at least finish up the ones they had already planned on putting out there. There are tons of Buffy and Angel fans they shouldn't have much of a problem making a profit off of it. I guess they really don't give a shit though. Oh well.
Also thinking about some other things. Like for instance why
Amber Benson is such a cool person. She's very talkative, actually listens to her fans when they say something to her, and I think she reads some of the letters people right to her. Also she never bad mouths anyone, which I think is interesting, because you'd think being in Hollywood where hatred runs wild because of the bullshit that goes on that she'd hate someone. Also since recently I've been reading some articles about this past season of Buffy The Vampire Slayer where Joss Whedon talks about
Amber Benson's Character Tara. His story seems to change from interview to interview. This last interview was on FilmForce.com here is the direct link to the page in which the part about Tara is mentioned
, it's a little ways down the page. It's a definite change from what I read somewhere about him saying Amber wanted more money from Fox to come back. Amber's story has basically stayed the same about them wanting to change Tara into evil Tara, which Amber thought would be hurting the fans who had already had a hard time with her death. This would have been seen in the episode Conversations With Dead People.
My personal opinion on the evil thing is that I think turning Tara evil for just that part in time, knowing in actuality it was the First as Tara wouldn't have been bad. I mean it wouldn't be making the character of Tara evil because it really isn't Tara, just like in previous episode of season 7 Buffy wasn't evil. So for those who think that by her being the character who came to Willow in the library would make Tara evil please explain that to me, because by the First taking an appearance of a character doesn't make the character that it's taking evil. So if Amber is reading this, which is doubtful, if that's why you didn't come back I really don't understand your thinking there, no offense. However, if the evil is not the part that has been discussed then maybe I could see why. But hey, what's so bad about being and evil character though? Hey Willow was evil, and lots of people love Willow regardless. So what would be the big deal in turing Tara evil? Plus it would have been funny. Just think about it. The one character who never really got mad at anyone really being all evil, it would have been amusing to me at least. It's like the kid in school who never says anything bad about anyone who kind of no one really notices, then all of the sudden a little while later they go insanely mad and start kicking people's asses.
Anyhow back to the interview stuff I just wonder what Amber thinks about the different stories he gives the media about her non-return. It'd be quite interesting to get some kind of answer about what he has said in the Film Force interview about it. Joss Whedon is a creative guy and you have to give him credit for that or you wouldn't have watched Buffy in the first place for all of those who go bad mouthing Mr Whedon, and go get
Subway and eat on the hood of his BMW and do whatever else you did with mustard. We will never know the whole truth about the situation and that's ok with me I just find it really interesting how someone can change what they say about the situation. There are three sides to the story, Joss's, Amber's, and the truth. I'm not saying anyone is lying but I think some really great PR moves are being made.
But where was I going with this. Oh yeah I'm not saying Amber should be mad at Joss or badmouth, because I don't know the real story. However, from things I've heard from other people you think she would. Which I think would be funny, because she never says anything bad about anyone, or at least not that I have heard.
Anyhow Amber's cool. Shoot she is even doing a European Convention Tour, you got to really love your fans and pretty darn cool to do that. I think those will probably be her last conventions sense she said she was going to stop doing those.
I know a lot of the time I don't make any sense, or kind of cut off on what I'm talking about on here, but that's just what's coming out of my head at the time. Imagine talking to me, I'm just as bad. Well my mind is now blank
