On Upcoming Buffy Movie Not Written by Joss Whedon; Panic and Rage Ensue:

The These Comment Awards Not Written By Joss Whedon Award to Billy:
If you don’t like Anya you haven’t seen “The Body”.I’m glad that everyone has joined in my outrage at every movie that isn’t written by Joss Whedon, like “Harry Potter Movie Not Written by Joss Whedon- Public Demands Answers”. There should be a disclaimer on every movie not written by Joss Whedon, akin to “coffee will burn you” on cups, just so the public is fully aware that this movie isn’t written by Joss Whedon and lawsuits are thus prevented.
also… “No power in the ‘verse can stop me”
