Quote:I think it's unfair to criticise her for stating her opinion. Which after all is just an opinion - she didn't actually refuse to do any of it.

Quote: Well, not exactly - if you think about it, Buffy was a team written show, and it's obvious on occasion that the networks got their way instead of Joss. He didn't have complete control over the show either.

Quote:Originally posted by dietcoke: Sarah comes across very unprofessional, ungrateful, and arrogant in interviews. When I read things like: "I ran into Joss' office, screaming, "Buffy would never do this," I am appalled! Joss is the executive producer and creater of the show, for heaven sakes! She admits to yelling at her boss? How stupid is she? Does she think we are impressed by that?
Quote: Here is another quote from Sarah: "When we filmed the episode where Angel breaks up with her, I cried for 25 minutes. I thought I was having a breakdown. They had to shut down the set." I wonder how much money the studio lost shutting down the set because Sarah wasn't able to control her emotions? That's the sign of an actress who has had very little professional training.

Quote:Perversely, I have no problem with her doing that - I've explained why I feel she's wrong - but it at least shows she was involved in the character.

Quote:Not sure I see your logic - this isn't a hissy fit, or an actress storming from or refusing to come to the set, its someone who has, clearly, given something of themselves for the scene - not a sign of lack of professionalism - whether the story is true, I don't know, but I see no reason not to accept it happened.

Quote:Originally posted by dietcoke: I do have a problem with her behavior. Screaming at your boss or a fellow employee is insubordination. Unfortunately, I've seen too many employees loose their job because they couldn't keep their emotions in check and act like an adult. (Yes, I used to work in Human Resources.) And you know how the rest of the conversation went in this case? No, because its a quote in a magazine article - did she run in "screaming" or was that for effect in the interview? It comes across as very much (and I'm going from your own tag line here as well as the tone of your posts) that you attend regular prayer meetings at the Church of Joss, and you're attacking SMG because you perceive he has a problem with her. He cast her as Buffy because she was the best person he saw for the role, so he obviously thought something of her. Quote: In regards to my logic, allow me to explain. "Buffy" is a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) or union show. You shut a set down, you still have to pay the actors for a day of work. Then you have to add another day into the shooting schedule to pick up for the lost day. Now you must pay the cast and crew time-and-a-half for overtime. The studio has lost money and now has cracky actors who have to work on their day off to make up for the lost day. Actors who have attended a professional acting school (League of Professional Actors Training Assoc.), learn techniques on how "let go" of the emotions that their character feel. Sarah obviously didn't have that type of training. This is why I find her unprofessional.

Quote:Yes, you're right we do have the right to give our opinion on things she says and does, but this thread is for the most part not doing that, it's having a go at SMG because we don't agree with her particular feelings about something she had to do.
Quote:Given that none of us had to do what she was required to I don't feel that we have any right to make a judgement about whether or not it was actually degrading.
Quote:For something to be degrading it's degrading to that person - personally, and whether or not the fans think it was, we can't say that it wasn't degrading to her. We can say we don't view it that way - but that's not the same, and it's not what people have done.
Quote:BTW: The Grudge is very good. Well worth seeing. But I still think Cruel Intentions was as well.

Quote:Listen we're never going to agree... But it's just her opinion - and I can't see why any of you care whether she thought it was degrading or not.
Quote:The only reason I said anything is because I object to people calling someone they've never met a bitch.

Quote:Originally posted by Ruxton: So if Sarah felt that Buffy would NOT have done certain things, I think Joss ought to have at least listened. We need to remember that ultimately, she did fully as much for Joss Whedon (and the WB, for that matter) as he did for her.
