small rant
Jun. 26th, 2003 09:21 amI bought the TV Highlights yesterday, Germany's biggest selling magazine about Sci Fi and Fantasy TV. The one mag that always featured articles and episode guides on Buffy and Angel. So, I bought a special edition yesterday, a complete Buffy episode guide, which even lists the 'special Spike moment' in each epi. It cost ten bucks.
What happens when I open it? I notice almost immideately that they can't even consistently spell JM either Marsters or Masters. They use both spellings. They get his age wrong. They use wrong titles for the epis. And they rate 'Get it Done' as one of the top ten Spike-episodes ever. Huh?
I haven't really delved a lot deeper. They talk a lot about Joss wanting to make a Buffy movie (again I say huh?). They do mention stuff like 'Winding Roads' and 'Chance' in the Spike article (actually they say that Amber wants to get her film out to a larger audience by the end of 2003 - now if only I knew what they based that comment on...). So, the whole thing isn't too badly researched, but not spelling the actor's name right who is selling the damn mag (It says 'Spike Special' on the front page) seems a bit dim.
Oh well... *clutches mag possessively*...
