Sarah Michelle Gellar
I know she's a Republican, but having attempted to watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", I was surprised anybody considers her to be an actress...

1. She's a craptastic actress.
There are some people that seem to play themselves in every role, which becomes tedious if that person is a jackass. (See Tom Cruise in everything). I'd definitely throw Sarah Michelle Gellar into that pile.

2. She IS a pile.
And if that was herself as Buffy, she couldn't even do that right. She was so wooden (like a rainforest), they could deforest 5,000 acres and plenty of her would be left for nitpicking.

7. She was in the Grudge and I know what you did last summer.
She was also in Cruel Intentions. All of her characters seem to be herself. Or else, she can only play one character.

3. i used to watch All my children about 100 years ago and she was on it.
i don't remember ever watching anything with her in it after that. Was she in Scream or is that someone else?

8. She was in Scream 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Also Cruel Intentions, Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo 2, The Grudge, and the Grudge 2.

I remember the first show I ever saw her in:

9. Cruel intentions was a good one--the saliva string.

But then again, I was in high school when I watched it.

13. Me, either
I will catch a few minutes every so often and think, "Who are they?"

I did have the biggest crush on the guy who plays Tad. Can't believe he's still on it!

18. Ugh the glory days you are talking about on General Hospital
Edited on Sun Jun-10-07 09:38 AM by AndreaCG
Was when Luke raped Laura and later the show went revisionist and it wasn't rape and they got hitched.

That's almost as bad as the couple in the new documentary. He hired some thugs to throw lye in her face, blinding her. After he came out of the joint they were married.

14. She was good as Kendall. I have no idea if they've redeemed her character
since SMG played the role, but back then Kendall was snotty, bratty, and rotten.

6. And yet, I loved the movie
with Kristy Swanson as Buffy, even though Joss Whedon (whose Firefly series I LOVED) apparently was pissed at the rewrites etc. :shrug:

SMG has always underwhelmed me as an actress. Boring, poor delivery, always with a tinge of superciliousness in all of her interactions with other actors.

19. Blasphemy!
She fucking rocked on Buffy, which is one of the best TV shows of all time. I just caught the original movie on cable a few weeks ago and it looks lame lame lame in comparison. Except for Paul Reubens as a vamp.

However, her movie career IS craptastic.

22. I read RottenTomatoes.com's list of 100 worst movies
Since it has been online. Freddie Prinze Jr. was in at least 4 of them. By my count he was in more than any other actor.

23. Well, I KNOW Freddie Prinze Jr. is
His father would not be happy. Sarah might be a little better, is likely still a Repub. Not all Repub celebs are hopeless - I read that Emma Caulfield might have voted for Kerry. But still, the info. that she's a Repub seems legitimate.

As far as her acting goes, she was fine as Buffy. Not sure she could do much else.
