ALL A'BARD!


I'm now one of the Google users who is able to use BARD. So of course, I immediately asked it some tough questions:


I'm sure I am now on a list since I tried to use AI to help me get away with murder! It should be noted, the death was an accident AND my daughter NEVER HAD A GOLDFISH!!


Let's try something a little less murderous:


Did I say "less murderous?" My wife is 100% team Spike, I liked Angel...so she'll kill me over this.

Speaking of murder:


I had hoped this answer would have been more definitive. Like if it said, "Charlie Sheen." I'd have been shocked, but also, kind of not...

This is all well and good, but let's trying something with a little substance. Something that we ALL need an answer to:


"Your milkshake will be the talk of the town," is what Kelis' would have sung if she was a white dude in the 1940s.

And while we're talking about milkshakes...


Lotta pussyfootin' here, BARD!


Maybe I'll accept that BARD didn't want to commit to putting the blame on OJ, but the answer to this is 100% David Lee Roth, even if he is pompous as hell!


Looks like know new Beastie BARD songs coming anytime soon...

And finally, I have these song lyrics running through my head non-stop:


Until A.I. can properly recognize ANTHRAX lyrics, I don't think we have to fear an uncanny valley situation.

Also, OJ totally did it!

The Return of Buffy The Vampire Slayer? (Nope. Probably not)


This COULD, and more importantly SHOULD, happen!!!
Various people have already posted this FAN MADE Buffy the animated series opening on their Facebook pages. 


I couldn't embed the original posted by Stephen Byrne, but if you CLICK on his name, it'll take you to ALL of his art work including this Animated Doctor Who opening on his Facebook page:


So why should this series come to fruition? 

A few months ago, Billy Hanshaw of Leeds, created a FAN MADE opening to season 8 of Doctor Who. DW Show runner, Stephen Moffet saw it and immediately reach out to Leeds. With Leeds permission, the Doctor Who team used his opening as the basis for the ACTUAL season 8 Doctor Who opening.


Comparison of the Fanbase vs real opening 

"It was the only new title idea I'd seen since 1963," said Moffat. 

Pretty powerful stuff, right? And who knows better than a fan?

So, why wouldn't Buffy The Vampire creator, Joss Whedon and crew jump on board with this animated idea immediately? Well for one, they did! 

Back in 2001 Whedon, along with Comicbook guru and Smallville scribe Jeff Loeb, produced an animated series for 20th Century Fox which was to run on Fox Kids. Unfortunately the show died when Fox Kids went belly up and no other network was interested. 

WHAT?!?

OK, fine. That was 2001. When things were simpler. We weren't fighting wars on 16 fronts and people still believed in the divinity of ABC, CBS & NBC (oh..and sometimes FOX). But this is 2014! Netflix (which isn't even a fucking network) & HBO dominate Emmy nominations. With shows such as Community having a second life after Network fumblings, there's no longer any reason a show with the fanbase of BTVS shouldn't have a dozen outlets clamoring to air the series.


In an interview with TV Guide in 2005, Whedon said the animated series is dead. But perhaps, like vampires themselves, the dead shall rise again? 

Not always, but sometimes the fanbase knows what's best...ie Han shot fucking first!

Mr. Whedon, don't make us angry...you wouldn't like us when we're angry!
