Saturday 10 July 2004, by aerialla : It’s pretty sad that it was Buffy that made her a star, yet she never seemed to find the time to go to any Buffy conventions. She has never done anything for the Buffy fans even though we’re the ones that kept the show alive, through two networks. I accept the fact that she makes more movies than any of the other cast members, but how many of those movies were critically acclaimed or really noteworthy. It just seems to me that in the case of Sarah it comes down to money and how much someone is willing to pay her rather than doing something that is dramatic. Horror movies are only going to get her so far before she’ll be type cast if it hasn’t already happened and how long before even that well dries up. Horror movies definately won’t win you an Oscar. That’s my two cents and probably a few more worth.Sunday 11 July 2004, by Sspoiled : I was all happy for a second there! i thought it might be about Buffy. but duh, dumb me. lol. The grudge, of course that’s what she’s going to be promoting. well, i wish her good luck with that and her career.Sunday 11 July 2004, by James R. : Don’t you just know the security at this thing is going to be massive? I’m glad she finally feels safe enough to attend after all these years. Good Luck to you Sarah!Sunday 11 July 2004, by Kitty : I kinda disagree with the negative sentiments regarding SMG’s lack of participation in Buffy fan events (conventions, etc). I don’t blame her at all for not giving up her free time to do more Buffy-related things. She gave nearly 8 years of her life to BtVS. She worked harder on that show than ANYONE (Joss included). She was the ONLY one who was on set every single day, in practically every scene, the show rode upon her little sholders. The other cast members, crew members, writers, directors, producers (etc) changed from week to week, from year to year. Sarah was the ONE constant throughout the years. Unlike the writers/producers/crew/rest-of-the-cast she practically LIVED as Buffy for the better part of her young adult life. She gave herself to it, comitted the best years of her life to it, cared deeply about it. She was never late, never missed her mark, always knew her lines, worked sometimes 16hours a day, often 6 days a week... the show, for her, required giving up an enormous chunk of her life, a MUCH bigger chunk than anyone else who worked on the show. THAT is what she "did for the fans". And, imo, that’s PLENTY. I’m happy and proud she dedicated herself to Buffy for so long and did it all so well. Now she has a new life, new work, a new husband. I don’t expect her to do give up any of that for Buffy now. Buffy will always be a part of Sarah, but Buffy is not her life anymore. Be happy that it WAS her life for so long and that it brought you so much joy. But don’t criticize her for moving on.Sunday 11 July 2004, by Anonymous : well said, kit.Sunday 11 July 2004, by Bryan : The fact that she never promoted Buffy much doesn’t bother me. One thing I do find strange, is that she didn’t attend the Buffy wrap party, because when you think about it, it was kind of in her honor.Monday 12 July 2004, by Anonymous : SMG didn’t attend BUFFY’s wrap party because BUFFY endend April 16 and she had to be in Canada April 17 to start filming Scooby doo 2. I thought everyone knew this by now... She is going to this convention because it’s in her contract. She doesn’t like conventions (too many people). Having said that i’m sure she’ll be sweet and funny as she usually is. She is a professional afterall. And some people talk as if by going to the conventions makes the actores and everyone else involved wonderfull people. You DO know they are getting paid right?? That is one of the reasons why some price tickets are "forbidden" for a lot of people. Don’t get me wrong i love all of them, and i’m sure they see it as a way of giving something back to the fans. but they’re working, extra hours if you will. As for SMG future, i see it being bright. I once saw an interview of her - in a french channel, i believe - and she said that everyone told her that leaving that soap opera that she was in had been a mistake, that she would never know as much success as she did portraying that role (sorry can’t remember the name of the character) and most of all how SHE WOULD NEVER GET THE ROLE OF BUFFY! Well, she showed the naysers how wrong they were and i’m sure she’ll do it again. Our girl is strong... To those going to the convention congratulations and good luck. Although the schedule seems incompatible, with tha attendence of Eliza, Amber and Joss you might watch a mini-buffy reunion and bring us some interesting newa... Friday 27 May 2005, by April : You know....I have to agree there!! It’s not fair that we the fans have supported the show through 7 yrs & wanted it to go longer...even petitoned for it as well as angel! Yet, SMG refuses to come to any of the cons! It seems to be all abt money w/ her!! Alyson makes movies too, James has done a few movies as well, & I’m sure everyone else has their own things that they are up to, wheather it be family things or acting things, somehow most of the others seem to find time to connect w/ the fans. So why is it that SMG seems to not feel the need to do the same or that it’s possibly "beneath her". Ok...done ranting now! Have a nice day all!
