the dichotomy of band candy is so... baffling to me. like they pull great comedy from all the adults in town acting like teenagers and it is so unserious. giles and joyce have sex on top of a police car??? principal snyder goofy adolescent?? everybody going bananas in the whole town!! and then. it is all a distraction from trying to murder straight up BABIES. just a normal ritual sacrifice of killing thirty innocent babies in a crypt. to me its one of the darkest evil plans in buffy. cant believe this is the same episode wtf

Re-watching Dead Man’s Party and Snyder telling Buffy that someone with her “talents and abilities” should work at Hot Dog on a Stick and saying she’d look cute in the little hat, and now knowing that in s6 she works at Doublemeat Palace, essentially the same thing, where she has to wear a stupid little hat, because of how limited her life is due to the responsibilities she has because of her “talents and abilities”. Wow. Wow wow wow. I am clinically unwell about this. I’m gonna gnaw through a brick.

#btvs #buffy the vampire slayer #Buffy summers #btvs meta #like imagining a whole new layer where she must have felt like she really was everyone’s worst assumptions about het #that the messaging she’d been getting all through high school that she was never gonna amount to anything had been right the whole time #that’s she’s proven them all right by being a flunkie drop out working a dead end job #and ofc none of that is true but that’s not how she feels at the time bc her mindset is just so… she’s struggling #and in the conversation with Snyder how her mom is there to defend her and stand up for her #and how her mom pushes back against the idea that she’s a delinquent who doesn’t deserve a chance #but when she’s living out what Snyder foreshadowed her mom isn’t there anymore #and same with giles who’d defended buffy against her moms worst assumptions about her before Joyce even knew she was the slayer #and he’s not there anymore either so she’s just left to believe all these awful things #WOW!!!! #wow. #dead man’s party #buffy season 3 episode 2 #buffy season 6

sometimes i'm very curious about what the scoobies' false memories of dawn in s1-4 look like. i feel like if buffy had truly had a little sister from the beginning, some of the shit she went through simply wouldn't have happened, or would have happened quite differently. sorry snyder, she can't be volun-told to take those kids out for halloween, her mom already told her that she has to take her little sister, and dawn's not leaving her costume-shopping til the last minute. ted comes in and dawn hates him too, so buffy doesn't end up isolated against her family and friends. dawn is always there, even in the moments where buffy feels most alone.

but since buffy arrives in s5 with the same feelings and trauma she had pre-dawn!retcon, i feel like we have to assume that the monks simply shoved dawn into the little cracks her memories - into moments that don't affect anything big. as if dawn is a side character in buffy's own memories, only allowed to be present when the outcome will remain unchanged. maybe in ted, buffy still strikes out at him, only not in self-defense, but to protect dawn. or else dawn eats the cookies, too, and buffy is still alone. at halloween, dawn goes out with a friend's family in a different neighbourhood, and buffy doesn't see her at all. dawn is never involved in scooby adventures, remaining at home with joyce, adding to buffy's resentment that while she's going out to risk her life every night, her sister gets to snuggle up with her mom at home - a dynamic that is very present in s5.

so, yeah, i do believe that's how the memories must have worked. but i also believe that if dawn had been present in her life sooner - whether if the monks had introduced her into buffy's life sooner, or if dawn had been the "real" younger daughter of joyce and hank - then buffy's life would have been immensely changed... the same way that dawn changed her life going forward from s5.

School Hard is, in retrospect, one of the pivotal episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  

In this episode, Buffy is trapped in Sunnydale High School, forced to confront one of the most significant villains the show has yet introduced; one of the most iconic and memorable of the show’s seven seasons.  Somebody who, the first time he speaks to Buffy this episode, casually threatens to kill her and walks away without so much as a scratch.  Somebody who we’re meant to see as an altogether different proposition than his Season 1 predecessors.  Somebody whose attempts to destroy Buffy this time around are only foiled thanks to unexpected support from her mother, leaving him free to try again and again for the rest of the season. 

A villain who, unlike Luke and the Annointed One and all the other Season 1 monsters of the week, actually seems to be having fun while he does his best to ruin Buffy’s life and inflict misery and torture on the population of Sunnydale. Somebody who relishes in inflicting pretty cruelty.  Somebody who was originally intended to be killed off after only a few appearances, but who – thanks in no small part to his performance in episodes like this one – will instead continue to appear on the show for years to come.  A character it is impossible to imagine Buffy the Vampire Slayer without.

I am, of course, talking about Principal Snyder.

(Also there are some new vampires in town this episode I guess but whatever.  This post isn’t about them.)

I didn’t talk about him much during my Season 1 rewatch, but I really enjoy Principal Snyder as an antagonist.  I think he might actually be one of my favorite minor characters.  He’s incredibly well realized from his first appearance in The Puppet Show: instantly this note perfect pastiche of a self-important petty little bully with just barely enough power to be really dangerous.  The show uses him as a contrast to the other adults in Buffy’s life (Giles, Joyce) to such good effect (especially at the beginning of Season 3).  And Armin Shimerman is fantastic in the role: you can see why the writers gave up on their initial idea of Sunnydale High having a whole string of different principals who got killed off every few episodes.

He’s such a well done comic character too: funny, but never slipping up and giving the impression of being in on the joke.  We’re only seven episodes in, and we’ve already gotten gems like “I can smell trouble – it’s like a sixth sense.” and  “What are you, ghouls?  There are no dead students here.  This week.”.  All delivered with this perfect growling sneer and no acknowledgement at all that what he’s saying is ridiculous.

He’s just fun, in a way that I really don’t think any of Buffy’s other non-supernatural antagonists are.  Yes, Buffy will continue to find the non-supernatural parts of her life hard after high school, but it’s all so impersonal after this.  Other than Maggie Walsh (who is really part of the supernatural world anyway, as head of the Initiative, so barely counts), none of the bad professors she has to deal with in college are recurring characters.  Neither is her bank manager, or her boss at the Doublemeat Palace, or Dawn’s security worker. (Okay, very technically her second manager at the DMP is recurring, but you know what I mean.) 

Of course, being a Slayer still causes Buffy problems in her day to day life, but for whatever reason – I don’t know if it was a deliberate choice or just a result of the later seasons becoming increasingly serialized and story-arc focused - the show becomes less and less concerned with showing us that everyday life.  (Is Parker the last recurring character of any importance who never finds out that Buffy is the Slayer?) And when Buffy goes back to work at the high school in Season 7, everything’s so tied up with her being the Slayer that we just don’t get the same juggling-two-lives thing anymore.

And ... well, I guess Buffy doesn't miss Snyder. I can hardly blame her. But I do.

#btvs #buffy rewatch 2023 #principal snyder #they should've made Lorraine Ross a proper recurring character is what I think I'm saying here #(and the fact you had to google that name is proof that they didn't)

"Moreover, by the time Findlay switched her attention to horror, a number of her contemporaries were doing very well from the genre.

Wes Craven, a fully fledged horror auteur by the 1980s, had worked on numerous hardcore features around the time he directed The Last House on the Left in 1972, a widely controversial, yet popular horror film that played all over the world. The success of his subsequent horror films, including The Hills Have Eyes (1977) and especially A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), showed that the transition from porn to horror was not only possible, but also potentially highly lucrative. Similarly, fellow New Yorker William Lustig cut his teeth directing two hardcore features, Hot Honey and The Violation of Claudia (both 1977), prior to shooting the horror film that made his name, Maniac (1980), and several higher-profile R-rated horror films he made in the years that followed.

As hardcore stalwart and director of the R-rated horror film, Deranged (1987), Chuck Vincent, explained to Variety, “Filming adult features has been a tremendous aid for me [and others] in terms of experience,” affording him and his contemporaries the ability to master industry-standard equipment and materials, such as 35mm film, and providing others, including adult film producer and producer of the horror film A Hazing Hell (dir. Paul Ziller, released as Pledge Night in 1988), Joyce Snyder, with unmatched knowledge of distribution and foreign sales.

Findlay, with the assistance of her partner, the composer and studio engineer Walter E. Sear, and their new company Reeltime Distributing (est. 1979), was well positioned to enter commercial filmmaking of this nature, by self-financing and shooting on location (as was usually the case with her adult features), and then exploiting her networks within theatrical, cable, and video distribution."

ACTUALLY I WILL SAY i stopped school hard halfway bc i was gettin sleepy so i will get back to it later but i really really love how very possibly a solid percent of joyce’s realization re: buffy’s capacity to be cool under pressure and capable in general is her firsthand experience with snyder wherein she gets to see that this particular principal is just terrible and the worst. like idk something about joyce brushing elbows with buffy’s life in this episode and immediately defaulting to as much defensive sympathy as she can based on the information she is given…. extremely sweet. no notes

Buffy should’ve called Joyce in “Go Fish”. Cameron literally attempted to assault her. He locked the fucking door. He’s lucky Buffy only broke his nose. I would’ve put him his head through the window. I wish someone had killed Principal Snyder. Brutally. And the coach walking in there telling her to dress more appropriately? You are a high school swim coach of a team that just started winning two weeks ago - a team you doped up so they could do so. Do NOT tell me what tf to do. And them saying she was dressing inappropriately? How? She’s wearing a black tank top with zero cleavage showing. But idgaf if she was walking around stark naked; that doesn’t give you the right to “partake” in her like some damn buffet. You are a person with rationality so you can fucking control yourself Cameron. I just KNOW Joyce would’ve went off. She already can’t stand Snyder, she don’t play about Buffy, and she’s extra worried cuz of Angel.

SNYDER: There're some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense. GILES: No, actually that would be one of the five. SNYDER: That Summers girl. I smell trouble. I smell expulsion, and just the faintest aroma of jail. GILES: Well, before you throw away the key, you might consider giving her the benefit of the doubt. She may surprise you. SNYDER: You really have faith in those kids, don't you? GILES: Yes, I do. SNYDER: Weird.

Does art make a difference?

Aw, sure. Of course there are degrees of extremity to the potential change that art can effect, depending on how many people are able to engage with it. The Beatles made a huge difference in the world. But Henry Darger, Jeff McKissack, Karen Dalton, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Patchen – there are so many folks who have made great art and not gotten massively famous for it, yet I think there are all sorts of ways their work informs and shapes other people’s work, and brains, and decisions.

Should politics and art mix?

Well, everything mixes, the New Statesman! That’s like asking if a knee-reflex hammer and a quadriceps tendon should “mix”.

Is your work for the many or for the few?

That’s for the many/few to say. I just crank out the hot jams.

If you were world leader, what would be your first law?

Gravity. I feel like we need to tighten up the constitutional protections that particular law enjoys. It’s a ticking time bomb, if you ask me.

Who would be your top advisers?

Cute angel on one shoulder, cute devil on the other.

What, if anything, would you censor?

Maybe we could all agree to not bust each other’s chops all cut-dang day.

If you had to banish one public figure, who would it be?

Don’t know, banishment might be a little extreme, but I’d sure like to take that Stephen Hawking dude down a notch or two. Right? Are you with me?

What are the rules that you live by?

Basically, “bros before hos”. I feel like if you stay true to that, everything else just kind of falls into place.

Do you love your country?

I love William Faulkner, Dolly Parton, fried chicken, Van Dyke Parks, the Grand Canyon, Topanga Canyon, bacon cheeseburgers with horseradish, Georgia O’Keeffe, Grand Ole Opry, Gary Snyder, Gilda Radner, Radio City Music Hall, Big Sur, Ponderosa pines, Southern BBQ, Highway One, Kris Kristofferson, National Arts Club in New York, Ruth Crawford Seeger, Joni Mitchell, Ernest Hemingway, Harriet Tubman, Hearst Castle, Ansel Adams, Kenneth Jay Lane, Yuba River, South Yuba River Citizens League, “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”, “Hired Hand”, “The Jerk”, “The Sting”, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, clambakes, lobster rolls, s’mores, camping in the Sierra Nevadas, land sailing in the Nevada desert, riding horseback in Canyon de Chelly; Walker Percy, Billie Holiday, Drag City, Chez Panisse/Alice Waters/slow food movement, David Crosby, Ralph Lauren,San Francisco Tape Music Center, Albert Brooks, Utah Phillips, Carol Moseley Braun, Bolinas CA, Ashland OR, Lawrence KS, Austin TX, Bainbridge Island WA, Marilyn Monroe, Mills College, Elizabeth Cotton, Carl Sandburg, the Orange Show in Houston, Toni Morrison, Texas Gladden, California College of Ayurvedic Medicine, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Saturday Night Live, Aaron Copland, Barack Obama, Oscar de la Renta, Alan Lomax, Joyce Carol Oates, Fred Neil, Henry Cowell, Barneys New York, Golden Gate Park, Musee Mechanique, Woody Guthrie, Maxfield Parrish, Malibu, Maui, Napa Valley, Terry Riley, drive-in movies, homemade blackberry ice cream from blackberries picked on my property, Lil Wayne, Walt Whitman, Halston, Lavender Ridge Grenache from Lodi CA, Tony Duquette, Julia Morgan, Lotta Crabtree, Empire Mine, North Columbia Schoolhouse, Disneyland, Nevada County Grandmothers for Peace; Roberta Flack, Randy Newman, Mark Helprin, Larry David, Prince; cooking on Thanksgiving; Shel Siverstein, Lee Hazlewood, Lee Radziwill, Jackie Onassis, E.B.

Buuuut, the ol’ U S of A can pull some pretty dick moves. I’m hoping it’ll all come out in the wash...

Are we all doomed?

If we keep our expectations pretty low I think we might be fine. I mean, we’re definitely all dying at some point. There’s no getting around that. But between now and then, things might start looking up!

— Joanna Newsom for The New Statesman, 2008

Joyce asking Buffy if she led Spike on reminds me of that jock blaming Buffy after HE tried to force himself on her.

Hell, Joyce would probably have said the same thing as Snyder and the coach if she'd known about it. Of course, everyone was absolutely gross about that, staring at her like she was boring them as she described how a boy tried to rape her in the school parking lot and two different adults scolded her for it. Like, yeah, she wasn't in the same kind of danger a normal girl would have been in that situation but... can we treat her like a human with feelings for five freaking minutes, please?!
