I'm so excited--I got into Women in Film (an English class that fulfills my "multicultural requirement"--I'm not totally shamming here). Buffy the tv show was listed as a possible topic--I have seasons 1-4 on dvd and this might prompt me to buy season 5 (my VCDs of that season are pretty messed up.) I'll volunteer to bring my multiregion dvd player to school if it means we can watch Buffy during class.

(Yeah, I know we'll probably have to write a bunch of essays. Thing is, I know writing essays on movies and tv shows will actually be fun.)

I actually just saw at Borders they had a book which was a collection of academic essays on Buffy.

It was called "Reading the Vampire Slayer".

I was a communications major in college and live for this type of stuff.

Now that would be homework (watching Buffy episodes) I would gladly do!

This will be a rare treat for me as a computer science major (math and programming . . . I like them and all, but I'm thinking Buffy will be more fun. Thelma and Louise is listed too, and I've always meant to watch it).

In high school i took a sci-fi english class. We had to read Blade Runner, F451 and some other stuff but we did get to watch Twilight zone, Trek and so on every friday :-)

There's another book called Fighting the Forces that studies Buffy as well. I also know of an academic conference centered around Buffy that met in the U.K. a couple weeks ago. Buffy's good subject matter for those of us who study American culture (which is what I do so it's a great excuse to splurge on DVD's and the like)
