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...

And my dvd collection is so small anyway, and I don't have any tv shows.

I'm still pondering whether or not to find a btvs set on ebay at some point (hopefully reasonably priced. given my budget is minus zero) but then I don't know which set, or does it really matter?

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I have the complete collection and I think it is worth getting. There's a few fun featurettes for each season covering things like make-up, stunts, wardrobe etc, so it's great if you're into going behind the scenes

Is that the one that came in the big red and white box, or the previous one? It seems like there's been more than one "set".

My one is

http://www.amazon.com/Buffy-Vampire-Slayer-Michelle-Gellar/dp/B000ARSJVU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375213739&sr=8-3&keywords=Buffy+complete

It has all of the usual seasons with special features, and then it also came with a bonus disk with some extra retrospective features, and Joss and some of the actors having a round table discussion. I think that the current complete set is a red box that doesn't have the bonus disk, but just groups all of the DVDs together?

If cost is the biggest issue then your best bet is probably to buy the seasons individually on eBay though. Each season has plenty of bonus features, and they usually go pretty cheaply once a series is over and a lot of people are selling their individual sets for the complete one

Yep cost is definitely my biggest issue (alas). So doing the individual ones would work. And thanks for the link - so I can see now that there was a 1997 set and a 2010 box set. Not so confusing now.

BTW - a lot of your replies to me the last day or two end up being duplicated in my inbox 2-4 times. Weird. Are you editing your replies a lot?
