Oh how the non mighty have fallen.

I want her in another Scooby do movie!

Necronomitron • Mar 14, 2008, 04:42am •

Mighty? Fallen? How is this any different than most of the other garbage she has made?

rgtchtiger • Mar 14, 2008, 05:43am •

Sheesh, talk about a depressing, melodramatic story. It sounds like suffering through an hour or two of soap operas on daytime television.

This should be on the Oxygen network!

Umm. That's perhaps why Sonyman called her the "non mighty"? It's called sarcasm...

Oh, and SMG is hot, but she has shit taste in movies. She hasn't made a single thing I've wanted to see since Buffy.

She rocked it in All My Children,

Veronika: The Veronika Slayer!

I dunno, I thought The Return was actually a very good movie.

The first American version of The Grudge was decent for that kind of movie, too.

And I really liked the Scooby Doo movies.

Plus I want to see Alice if that ever gets made.

I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar only made Scooby Doo movies and Americanized remakes of movies from Japan

mckracken • Mar 14, 2008, 10:37am •

c'mon Sarah.. .pull your head out of your ass and make a Buffy/Angel movie to be proud of... and stop saying "i dont want to do any horror movies" yet thats all you ever star in except for Scooby Doo.
hopefully they will never make another Scooby Doo flick... perhaps she'll star along side with her husband in Wing commander 2: the search for Buffy.
