    A reminder that Dolly Parton is the reason we have Buffy the Vampire Slayer! She hated the movie but believed the show could be amazing so she let them film on her sound studio. By season 2, it was a HIT! As a thank you, Buffy Summers and Dolly Parton share the same birthday. January 19th.

    There's a whole separate subcategory of this complaint titled, "Color Grading Fucking Up Re-Releases." I think one of the LoTR editions is grossly color-graded, and streaming Buffy The Vampire Slayer will give you color grading in conflict with the narrative, but you'll likely be too distracted by the bizarre framing to notice.
