The Potato King frowned. “What are fanfiction writers?”
Jakob mooed, meaning either “How do you know so much about freaking
werecows but haven’t heard of fanfiction?” or else “ow ow ow can we
please get back to the POINT before I DIE.”
Edwood said, “Let me explain. No, there’s too much. Let me sum up.”

Jakob mooed painfully.
Something was horribly wrong. He tried to shift forms again, but agony shattered his concentration. He was nevered that good at focusing his attention, except towards Bela, potatoes, and on occasion heartfelt teenage coming of ages movies he found late at night on Cinemax.
Edwood patted Jakob uncomfortably. He liked Jakob much better as a werecow. Something in his eyes reminded him of his great love. Not the mirror or that spiffy hair gel but Bela. Sweet Bela of the Cow Eyes. “The burns will heal.”

Whedon fans are up in arms over the widely reported notion of “Buffy” being rebooted on the big screen sans Whedon.
I could very well be wrong–in fact, wouldn’t be surprised if I was–but I see this as a big negotiating ploy. I think that at some point the producers must have approached Whedon, he had terms they were reluctant to meet (money, creative control, whatever) and so they’ve gone public with the notion that they’re willing to proceed without him in order to gain negotiating leverage.
I would not be the least bit surprised if, should a feature film go forward, Whedon winds up attached to it. Of course, knowing Hollywood, I also wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t. Still, it’s worth pointing out that Gene Roddenberry was creatively involved with “Star Trek: The Motion(less) Picture” and actively discouraged fans from seeing “The Wrath of Khan” as being inconsistent with his vision of “Star Trek.” And Gene’s fans were no less rabid than Joss’s. But can anyone deny the relative merits of the two films?
So anything’s possible…
