It's still daytime right?
May. 21st, 2003 12:32 pmHaving gone to bed at 4:00 a.m., I'm not expecting much coherency from myself right now.
I haven't seen the Buffy finale yet, although I did check to see that it taped and couldn't make myself look away from the last minute. Even from that, I think it ended the way I would have liked and I'll watch it tonight. It made me weepy, but at 4 a.m., every did - there was much wine and many cigarettes involved.
I'm enjoying the discussions about what Buffy, and the watching of it, meant to people. It's so amazing to see the ways that art links us together, gives us things precious and unexpected that have less to do with what's onscreen than what the art stirs in us. I never thought I'd be a Television is Art advocate, but after X-Files and Farscape and Buffy, and even moments of Angel, I stand firmly behind that belief. I used to be passionate about film, and though I still enjoy movies, few recent ones have given me anything like the feelings that these TV shows invoked.
( My own two cents )
The premiere was fantastic. They staged it at a theater and ran it like a political rally and it was just kick ass. I'm so proud of the work of everyone involved. M. stood by me at the back, every nerve in his body tense, leaning into me. I don't think he drew a full breath until the lights came back on.
