BAMF Girls Club Review

I watch a variety of web series’ on the internet but the BAMF Girls Club has caught my attention in a big way. Six big pop culture characters are moving in together: Hermione from Harry Potter, Katniss from The Hunger Games, Bella from Twilight, Buffy from (what else?) Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Michonne from The Walking Dead, and Lisbeth from The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy. These are all characters I’m not only familiar with but fans of so I couldn’t wait to hear these characters banter – and I wasn’t disappointed.

In the first two episodes, Katniss kills a wolf for dinner who turns out to be Jacob, and Buffy demands no vampires be invited into the house despite Bella whining about Edward possibly visiting. The dialogue is funny and rich with inside jokes from each character’s universe. I love the actresses playing the characters and committing to them completely.

You need to check out the videos on the Comediva website and get hooked. If the Comediva’s are reading this, when this series is over, I desperately need a DVD for my shelf to put next to my Buffy: The Chosen Collection…or the Dragon Tattoo Extended Edition…or with the Walking Dead Season 1 & 2…I have to give this a little more thought. In the meantime, they’ve got hilarious shirts in their store and a lot of great videos to watch.

“Happy Birthday To Me” or “My Version of Ghostbusters 3”

I’ve accepted it. There will never be a Ghostbusters 3. Bill Murray was on Letterman a few days ago and explained how tough sequels were for him because they were never as good as the original. Bill Murray keeps shooting scripts down and legally, all three creators need to agree on anything before a movie gets made.

About two months ago, for my birthday, I wanted a commission sketch. I’d been watching a few commission artists on eBay for awhile and I finally decided on purchasing four character sketches from John Johnston (you can find him on eBay by searching title and descriptions or going to JohnJohnstonArt.com). I told him about my concept – an all girl cast of Ghostbusters.

When I was forming my concept, I thought about making the members actresses I’d like to see in a new movie. Then I thought about making them characters from TV shows, movies, and comic books. They had to be characters that had ties to the supernatural.

With that in mind, I chose my all-girl, pop-culture team: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Zatanna, Magik (of the New Mutants), and Hermione Granger (from Harry Potter). They are four of my favorite characters and it felt great to put these characters who didn’t share a common universe in the same line-up. And it felt great to see someone else looking awesome in Ghostbuster gear.

 They ain't afraid of no ghosts, vampires, demons, or boggarts.
