Heh. This is rather sweet.
And is the movie really that long? o.o

[mierke]

Thank you :)

Yes, it is! Well, the restored DVD version is. The original copyright length is 226 min (which is still way too long). (Oh, don't think I know these numbers by heart. Just looked it up at IMDB ;)

Four hours sounds like forever to a teenager, so I'm pretending this is a very young Buffy. I like that she's at least giving it a chance.

[mierke]

Yes, you gotta give her credit for giving it a try.

Thanks for taking the time to comment :)

Very funny. And I can totally relate to your experience of the film.

[mierke]

Thank you :)

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt taht way!

Seems like this is a safe haven for GwtW-haters! 'Hate' may be too strong a word but 'finding it ever so loooong and tedious' is spot on. (But then, I *really* hate the book...). Poor Buffy - I hope Giles had mercy on her eventually!

[mierke]

Again, I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! I sure hope that Giles realizes that this was not the best way to spend his evening! ;)
