Product Description: Balancing homework and vampire slaying can be so tiring. Take heart from Buffy, the baddest, blondest vampire slayer there ever was. First a popular movie cult classic, then an even more popular and successful television show on the WB, Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues to outlive even the most unvanquishable of the undead. Relive the Buffy years with this calendar packed with the greatest and most ghoulish images from the eternally popular TV show!
Who Edited This? This is your standard, typical monthly calendar -- and it's nicely done considering it's about a series that has been off the air for five years. Each month has a theme -- which is usually character- or theme-driven -- that helps pull it all together.
But this calendar has a real and discernible "ick" factor that I really, really, really hope was unintentional.
The photographic theme for January appears to have been "Buffy's Lovers," as there are individual photos of Buffy with Riley, Spike, and Angel, respectively. But for reasons I can't possibly understand, the calendar uses a still of Buffy and Spike from the season six scene in which he attempts to rape her; in point of fact, the specific shot shows Spike pinning Buffy to the ground with his hands clutching at her chest as she clearly cries out in anger and terror in her bathroom.
I'm all about the Spuffy, but I don't want photographic evidence of a cinematic storyline that highlights an attempted rape hanging on my wall for 31 consecutive days. I was surprised -- and pleased -- to receive this calendar as a Christmas gift. But I won't be hanging it up until February. And I hope the editor(s) of the 2010 calendar will be more aware.
Getting ready for a new year, with the same old gang. The pictures all look nice and sharp, although the layout is too simple (ie: it looks like a template from a DIY calendar program). Most of the shots chosen of the actors are great, although I would have picked different pictures of Anya, Cordelia, and Dawn. Besides that (very minor gripes)it's great!
