Matthew Sweet is my all-time favorite musician, and I have this soundtrack to thank for that. My mom rented this movie for me when it first came out on VHS, and I loved everything about it. Now, at 26, I look back at this movie and laugh at how not very great it is... especially to have such a great soundtrack. Susanna Hoffs + Oingo Boingo = Brilliance.

By the way, Under the Covers, Vol. 2 is everything you'd hope it to be and more. I think it might even be better than the first!

Can't wait for them to answer the fan queries! Very exciting!

I thought that this was such a good soundtrack. I loved the movie and the show. Paul Reubens dying made that movie.

Josh (Whoops! I meant Joss) is pretty much over the Hollywood machine, but do you think he's really okay with the Kuzuis wrecking his masterpiece TV series?

Possibly. Scaring them into it for fear of capping the series with a half-assed reboot though... It would never work. The answer was given by Bad Brains a long time ago: money changes everything.

At the end of that article I linked to (which links to another article), the author speculates that all this talk of "rebooting" the original film without the TV characters is a ploy to get Whedon and Gellar to participate in the film--since both are reticent about doing a Buffy movie.

Anthony Head pretty much echoed your thoughts in a recent interview. Even if Gellar wasn't involved, he asked how in the world they could proceed without Whedon, especially considering the original movie was called a toxic asset and would never make a franchise.

The kicker: the person who is spearheading this reboot is the director of the original Buffy, which gives it all a smell of "Thanks, Joss. Now that you fixed it, I'll take over again."

Whedon and Gellar aren't involved? Then what's the point? I thought they were, and I was about to "post-edit" that information in. Thanks for that news, Ted.

It's hard to believe Buffy the film would spawn such a brilliant series. Now there are plans afoot to film a new Buffy moive -- without the TV cast and without Joss Whedon. To add another phrase to the one Kelly quoted: "What to the fuck?"

Susanna Hoffs covering Oingo Boingo. How can you go wrong?
