В финале BSG таки показали пресловутого Леобенчика?

...As I mentioned on a long-gone thread the other day, last night, my firm had its annual spring party, and among the attendees was a client who used to date Sarah Michelle Gellar.

читать дальшеI managed to have a nice chat with him, and asked a few of the questions that some of your asked me to.

First of all, this guy is a class act, so, I didn't ask, and he didn't offer any details of their sex life. However, he did tell me some thing about her life on the Buffy set.

Note: He was seeing her during the first season of Buffy and during the beginning of shooting for season 2. They did not keep in frequent contact after they broke up, so his insights are limited to the very beginning of the series. Also, as with anything, bear in mind, that this is one man's perspective, and likely colored by his fondness for SMG. He, himself, tended to qualify everything he said with comments like "...well, at least that's how it seemed to me.." or "of course, I am relying on Sarah's impressions." He only went to the set once (see below), so, he really did not profess to be an expert on the way things were.

..he's an investment banker and has more money than god!!!!

Did SMG have a romance with DB?: Short answer, no, she did not. However, Fox and the network did like the idea and contributed to the gossipy rumours by having SMG and DB go out on a couple of well-orchestrated "dates" and attend some show-biz events together, of which pictures were freely circulated to the gossip rags, fueling rumours. Obviously, the network types felt that a rumoured off-screen romance would help publicize their on-screen romance.

What was SMG's relationship like with the cast and crew?: Apparently, SMG socialized with some of her cast mates when she was on the soap-opera she worked on before BtVS, and it caused more trouble than it was worth, so she made a conscious decision to remain professionally detached with the cast and crew of BtVS. Because she was one of the only members of the cast who wasn't entirely new to TV, it ended up creating some resentment among the other cast members -- all relatively new to TV -- who did "hang out" off screen. Also, after the first season was over, and the critics were focusing their attention on SMG as the "star" of the show, it created a lot of tension among her cast mate as they began shooting Season Two. And the worst of the group in terms of resentment and envy was....Allyson Hannigan. I didn't get much from him in terms of details, but got the sense that SMG was not real fond of loveable Willow.

What was Whedon like?: There was a LOT of tension between Whedon and SMG. Much of it because he really requires a LOT of love and praise from those around him, and apparently SMG was not forthcoming with the ass-kissing. That, and the fact she did not go to Whedon's house for cast and crew parties, caused stress on their relationship. Likewise, Whedon was rather envious of the attention SMG got for playing Buffy, and Whedon really felt like she was getting TOO much credit. My client also went to the set, once, and said that Whedon was not a very friendly guy. He tended to be dismissive of those around him, and very much wanted things HIS way. Likewise, he said he was amazed at the way everyone flitted about Whedon and catered to him. My client actually said it was sort of repulsive.

What was SMG like around the house?: He really only had very nice things to say about her. No bitterness or acrimony. He was really very fond of her, and was sorry he broke things off with her. He said she was pretty normal, particularly by Hollywood standards. He really admired the fact she wasn't always out of all the "right places" and attending all the "right parties", and she really was a home-body. He also thinks that is why her career hasn't been all it might have been. She just didn't "play the game".

Ладно, промолчу

Сижу вот и уже десять минут угараю:

Как-то раз админам дайри стало завидно, что у жж есть козёл Фрэнк, а у дайри ничего нет. С тех пор на главной странице @дневников сидит собака и изрекает глубокомысленные фразы а-ля «Радость воздушных шариков только снаружи».

PS Кстати выяснилось, что существует матерная песня про администрацию дайрей и за ее перепост банят на три месяца

Мероприятие старое, но HQ фотографий раньше не было. Часть снимков, видимо, сделана самими участниками.

Сжечь нах этот Краснодар

Оо, злые люди исхитрились обидеть терпимейшую и добрейшую Revello Drive

Не, ну переться от «Смешариков» это уже чересчур

Чайник-Чайник, где ты был?
На Фонтанке водку пил
Выпил литр, выпил два
Закружилась голова!
