I've just wasted way too much time on http://actualteenadultteen.tumblr.com/ lol, they put together a picture of an actor playing 16 or 17 alongside a picture of what they actually looked like when they were were that age. It's so weird to see Hollywood's example of what passes for teenage in tv and film










I always thought Sarah and Alyson passed okay actually (well Sarah was only 2 or 3 years older than the part anyway), but Nicky and Charisma were ridiculously obvious when they were both close to 30 and still playing 16/17 wtf. And Joss did hire an actual teenager for the part of Kendra unusually, but Bianca Lawson is 31 in the second pic and still playing a teenager...

I was becoming very frustrated with a lot of narratives where people either don't even say the word abortion or have a very facile reason for not going through with it

"We're gonna do this because it needs to be done." And we bought it in a sort of, you know, in a "Buffy" way -- "Oh no, I'm not pregnant, I'm a robot." But that wasn't to shy away from it.

So full of shit.

WHAT THE CREEPING BLUE FUCK, JOSS? SRSLY? Dude loves to hear himself talk but doesn't seem to actually listen to what he's saying because that. makes. NO. sense. *gets stabby*

One of the main arguments re: abortion is the notion of a woman's right to autonomy over her own body (and note that she goes to two MEN, who get to voice the opposite sides of the issue. No woman gets a voice here.)

Joss solution? Violate Buffy's bodily autonomy re: the robot. Joss and DH once again demonstrate their discomfort with women's bodies at a really fundamental level.

Just the latest in a long line of stupid things he's said over the years. Of course when you're trying to legitimize an obvious publicity stunt (ditto Batsu) you're bound to look foolish.

You mean there's times when he doesn't?
