According to Whedonesque.com and many other entertainment news outlets plans are in the works for, what they are calling, a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" "reboot" movie.
Which would be spled-fucking-diferious for all us slayer loven fans... But there's a catch:
"The film will be separate from the television series. It will not be part of the Buffy-verse cannon. It will be with out the amazing cast of characters such as Giles, Willow, Zander, Oz, Cordie, Spike, Dawney, and many others. And here is the biggy: THE MASTER OF THE BUFFY-VERSE JOSS WHEDON WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!"
In the words of little Lizzie from Drop Dead Fred: "What a pile of SHIT!"
To me this is like hearing about the death of a child. I feel for Joss, his baby the Bufster is being taken by some scary creepy mustasioed greasy man and rapeing the shit out of the poor little girl and breaking the hearts of her parents.
Ok so MAYYYYBEEEEE that's going a little to far but a Buffy with out a Whedon is like a Fish without water. Its discussing and disturbing and full of so much fail it makes my eyes and... Ok it makes my whole face bleed just thinking about how fail-tastic it sounds.
I completely understand that after the epic fail that was the original Buffy Movie back in 1992, when the original was released, that Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband maintained the rights to Buffy and later became producers of the beloved TV series. But as a film maker I do NOT like it. I may understand holding the rights to something, but Buffy isn't her's.
That is the bottom line. Buffy is Joss Whedon's he wrote the script for the 1992 movie, he created Buffy from nothing, and when the movie flopped he didn't drop her like yesterdays newspaper, he worked hard and brought her too the small screen where, for lack of a better term, she kicked ass for 7 long seasons and in many MANY comic books there after.
Joss has never been with out his Buffy. And I feel like now this Kuzui chick is taking her away from him. It isn't right. It is just so icky I want to vomit.
I honestly hope it flops...
I never wish that on movies but I really have no desire to give it a chance when they are ripping the beating heart out of the entire Buffy world.
Joss made Buffy what it was/is. You cannot fabricate that shit. With out him the wit and humor and sarcasm and brilliance that made Buffy who she was and is was all Joss.
I say a protest is in order... Or at least a petition to get Joss involved, even if it just is in a producer role. He deserves to be part of a reboot of his world and his characters.
What are your thoughts?

I've actually never seen Buffy, but Joss does awesome work!!
I know that when someone asked him about the movie he said, "I hope it's cool." And that was it. Which means he thinks it will suck. Ah!
