My obligatory reaction to the news of the Buffy film remake

Let me see: Remaking a movie that, when originally first made, was the antithesis of what Joss Whedon intended; and now doing so without either Joss’ involvement and none of the cast or writers for the tv series?

Yeah. As a huge fan of the Buffyverse, I have three words for you Warner Bros.:

DO. NOT. WANT.

If you haven’t already, read the news and weep:

As I’ve told many people in my life, I pretty much worship at the alter of Whedon. If I can achieve even just half of the cultural impact this man has in my own writing, I will be more than satisfied. Warner Bros., your blatant attempt to try and cash-in on the Twilight craze is both cynical and sad.
