really? hey i love the movie, actually i never like the tv serie; Kristy Swanson & Donald Sutherland did a great job in the film
Joss Whedon went on ad nausem about how Sutherland helped to wreck the film and what
a tremendous douchebag he was to work with.
Count me as one who HATED the film (no offensem Carla! You say potato...) and loved the series. It's some of
the best television writing ever. I, like Gideon, in the end however did prefer ANGEL. That show
had tremendous heart, and some damned fine acting.
And if Whedon isn't involvled in the new film? They won't get my money...
seem mister Sutherland isn't very love

oh well i like him as an actor in many others films too..anyway...i'm curious what is : "You say potato?"

LOL! It's from the Gerswin tune LETS CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF. Basically it's a nice way of saying you have your opinion and I have mine.
Here's an old clip of it...

Sutherland is a fine actor, but here's an example of Whedon's take on him:\
Joss Whedon: "No, no, he was just a prick. The thing is, people always make fun of Rutger Hauer [for his Buffy role]. Even though he was big and silly and looked kind of goofy in the movie, I have to give him credit, because he was there. He was into it. Whereas Donald was just... He would rewrite all his dialogue, and the director would let him. He can't write - he's not a writer - so the dialogue would not make sense. And he had a very bad attitude. He was incredibly rude to the director, he was rude to everyone around him, he was just a real pain. And to see him destroying my stuff... Some people didn't notice. Some people liked him in the movie. Because he's Donald Sutherland. He's a great actor. He can read the phone book, and I'm interested. But the thing is, he acts well enough that you didn't notice, with his little rewrites, and his little ideas about what his character should do, that he was actually destroying the movie more than Rutger was. So I got out of there. I had to run away."
Ouch!
