I remember back in the day vampires used to be cool. Thanks to Twilight they have been degraded to nothing more than fodder for the fantasies of twelve year old girls. A Buffy movie without Joss is stupid; it's his baby. He made that show what it was, he developed the huge fan base. I also think making this movie without any of the characters we know and love is pointless, and as much as I love Buffy I think it had it's run and can rest in peace now. Half the geeks I've ever met are die hard Whedon fans and will probably boycott the movie just because he's not involved, myself included.
