Farewell to Donald Sutherland
Our third Halloween season is almost here, and we are excited and sentimental. With the loss of Donald Sutherland, we are gearing up for big feelings around his beautiful performance. It is Sutherland’s performance that brings weight to the story. He manages to be hilarious, but serious and nurturing when the time is right. It’s an underrated performance, like many of his smaller subtle roles he was so kind to leave behind. Let’s raise a proverbial cup to his legacy and show out and show up for him!
About Buffy
The vampire story does not seem as cyclical in cinema as do other subgenres; it appears we always have room for vampires. But no other time is as saturated as the late 80s and early 90s. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was part of that boom thirty years ago, and its impact stuck around longer than its teen-vampire predecessor The Lost Boys (1987). For better or for worse, Twilight owes this layer of the genre to the Buffy legacy. Intentionally or not, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a teen cult camp classic of the horror genre, one that built an empire and a very specific coming-of-age storytelling style, and one that has continued to power girlhood and teen rites of passage.
