GirlPower Asked


What do you like about about directing?
I love getting my specific vision across.


Why does horror appeal to you? Do you ever feel disgusted by the gore? Do you think that horror emotionally desensitizes people to traumatic and painful situations? Do you think it can cause young people to identify with the perpetrator and predispose them to being violent or predatory?
I do get grossed out by some gore like Hostel or The Devils Rejects. I love horror films becuase there are a few states of emotion I like Angry,Sad, and Afraid. Horror films have that. Also they usually seem to have a really good storyline. As for Young people, I feel they have a tendency to act out what they see. Horror films are definitely not something for them, if they choose to do that. They need to understand that it is not real and it's not acceptable to mimic horror films or video games.


Do you have specfic personal message that you hope to convey about the world and life in your future work writing and making movies?
To live life. Enjoy the time your given and love it.


What actors have you met? Have you ever met Joss Whedon?
Unfortunately I haven't met Joss I've met many young actors and am friends with the two male twins from Full House, Blake and Dylan and others like Brittany Curren. But actors that I've met are: Cassie Steele, Lauren Collins, Ashton Kutcher, Amy Smart,
Jennifer Aniston, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Amanda Bynes, Elisha Cuthbert, Any a few others


Where have you taken acting classes? Are you in a performing arts school or other acting program of some kind?
I've taken classes at Glendale and was a member of the Actors' Gang theater for summer of '05 until they changed locations and I would not relocate. I am currently in Drama at my school.


How many people are in your family? Are you close to your parents? Any siblings? How does your relationship with your family affect who you are and how you interact with the world?
Well living in my house now is just My mother and I. My older brother just recently moved out. I also have an older sister. Those are the family I count really. Just the immediate. My father is a huge disapointment in my life. He makes promises he doesn't keep. It also doesn't help that he lives in a different state. Let alone he himself.

Thanks for the questions.

What's your favorite part of BtVSFigs?

What's your least favorite part of BtVSFigs?
Some of the members. I feel there are some times where they like to pick fights.


What are some things you'd like to see improve on the forum?
The Tag Board should have like a way to let people know whose in there and when they leave and enter. I think there should be some more contests and such to get members involved. But your doing a GREAT JOB!


What are some new things you'd like to see that the forum hasn't had yet?
I'm not quite sure what this forum is missing really. Maybe a Figure Show challenge?

Cinnamin Toast Crunch!

Thanks!

Ummmm second evil...not to put a damper on things but I think it was afer who started the first action figure series, so he does kinda deserve some credit...

Hey! Nothing wrong with embellishing If we're being fussy, afer didn't create the concept either - it was Karen

Here are a few more for you, Terrence ;D

1) Which character is more overrated: Spike or Willow?

2) What was the last song you listened to?

3) Have you ever done something and regretted it later?

4) Have you got any catch phrases?

5) Isn't Nip/Tuck just one of the single greatest shows on TV? Seriously, it rocks. What's your view on it?

[Dawn]

1.) Lost- Love it or Loathe it?

2.) Dawn- Love her or Loathe her?

[SideStrike]

Kenobi Asked

Have you heard from TST about the IRS deal?
They sent me a refund sadly enough.
If you could own any prop, what would it be?
Of course the Sycthe! But other than that, maybe The Vampyr Book

Do you hope that Factory X makes more replicas?
Definitely! I really was looking forward to Anyanka's necklace and the urn of osiris! I'm also hoping that we could get a sid the dummy like the puppet angel.


Which figure are you most excited about that's coming out?
Chosen Buffy! I like Vampire Buffya lot but only her head!
Which figure would you like to see made most?
I a better Master! In a pose where he's standing straight up. Plus they would be able to make him look like him now
What's your favorite cartoon show?
I don't watch cartoons but it used to be Tom and Jerry
Have you decided on the design for your tatoo yet?
Yes. It is going to be a cross and heart with a stake going through it. I will send you a picture of it later
Do you enjoy the Muppets?
No

If any one character could have lived on BTVS, who would you like it to be? Who would you have liked to see dead?
Buffy will always live on. If you mean out of the people who died on the show I would have wanted Spike to live. And out of the people living that I would want dead would be Faith. She should have died for the greater good
What do you like about Caleb?
I'm not quite sure. I know I don't like that he's a woman hater. But the way he took the scoobies out in the vineyard was soo cool. He has this mysteriousness about him. The way he speaks is just jaw dropping. I loved his dialogue and sort of accent. I wish he didn't die as well. I would have wanted to see him kill Faith!

Thanks for the questions. I will answer more later! Keep them coming!

[SideStrike]

The Second Evil Asked:

1) Which character is more overrated: Spike or Willow? Willow! Definitely. She took too much camera time. And I thought season 6 was the weakess.

2) What was the last song you listened to?
Camisado by Panic! At The Disco

3) Have you ever done something and regretted it later?
Yes quite a few things.

4) Have you got any catch phrases?
"Oh snap!" instead of "oh shit" and I like to say "shibby"

5) Isn't Nip/Tuck just one of the single greatest shows on TV? Seriously, it rocks. What's your view on it?
I love Nip/Tuck! Veronica Mars and Nip/Tuck are the only shows I cannot miss! I'm going to go insane with both niptuck and vm off the air until next season!


DAWN ASKED:

1.) Lost- Love it or Loathe it?
I've never watched LOST. Don't hate me
2.) Dawn- Love her or Loathe her?
Can I pick OR? I don't hate her but I don't LOve Her either. She was obnoxious but relatable.

Thanks!

[Justhad]

Not to be rude, but since you've already somewhat forced the only other 'figure show' creator out of the fanfiction area, how could you have a figure show challenge? (Again, I'm not trying to be rude, but since people can ask about walking around nude and making out, I figured this was fair game.)

[SideStrike]

My ex girlfriend Christine

I think everyone has a different view on the story, so it doesn't matter, but still, with all the debates, people always have to force the figure show people to 'go on', kind of like trying to convince a member to come back. But you didn't answer the question, why do we need a figure challenge for one person?

This is not meant to be rude or offense
Well first of all he was stopping his show because of no comments on his ep. And then he decided it will be back when his exams are over.
The challenges wouldn't just be for me obviosuly that would be really stupid. It would be like someone to put together a short story with their figs and anyone can do it. It would give people a chance to do something with their figures instead of just displaying them showing new customs as well. And anyways no one said it was happening. I was just asked my opinion and I simply stated it. I'm sorry if you were offended because you dislike the figure shows and most likly wouldn't take part in it anyways.

[SideStrike]

KENOBI ASKED:
Why do you have Star Wars figs? Were you at one point a collector?
When I was little I played wit Star Wars figures and then when the new episode 1 and 2 figures came out I felt I needed to buy them to continue my collection. But now they are really nothing to me.

What about Harry Potter? Are you into the books and the movies as well?
Yes! I love the Harry Potter books more than the movies though. Even though the movies are amazing!

Which figure by DST are you most dissapointed in?
Premeval Buffy. I felt the prototype was awesome! But the update is horrible. But I still have hope.

Do you own an Ipod?
Yes, I have a Click Wheel 20 GB iPod. But I want to buy a black iPod Nano.
Have you seen the LOTR movies?
They are amazing and I played the video games as well. I really like Gandalf the White.

Did you see the first POTC movie? If so, did you enjoy it?
Yeah I saw it, But I wasn't very thrilled with it. It got boring more often then not.

Have you ever been to Disney World or to Disney Land? If not, would you like to?
I went when I was about 4 years of age but I don't count that. I really want to go before I get to old to enjoy it.
WHat was the last thing you ate?
Sushi!
What's your favorite food?
Orange Chicken from Panda Express. Have you ever noticed that orange chicken tastes really different from every place!
