That line is from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

The movie.
Not the tv series, but the movie.
A funny, funny mockery of vampire movies, with Rutger Hauer as the chief vampire and Pee Wee Herman as his stooge.
An excellent, tongue-in-cheek satire of teen movies and vampire films.

What happens?
They take an amusing and satirical movie and turn it into another sci-fi based serial show where geeks slobber over the female form and download pics of Buffy for wallpaper because THEY WILL NEVER EVER GET LAID THEMSELVES.

Ironic really:
A film that ripped into sci-fi geeks has been adopted by those scary, pasty-sociopaths that dress up like characters and go to conventions where they can stumble around with other dog-boxers and take solace in the break from gut-busting laughter at 20-30yr old, overweight white male nerds fantasise about a woman that will treat them mean.

Tear yourself away from your PC for a moment, stop wearing t-shirts with tv shows on the front, put down that doughnut and repeat after me:

The outside world is not scary.
Sunlight will not kill me.
I should probably wash my hair.

Damn Dirty sci-fi geeks.
Worst tv show ever.

True, but the show is also tongue in cheek. Its not quite as blatant as the Movie and opts instead for a more Scream-esque "self analysing" approach. But its still damn funny.

Initially I disregarded the Buffy show as yet another Dawsons Creek angst riddled piece of poo, not even fit for slagging off. But then further down the line I found it to be something quite different and actually took the pee out of the very shows I thought it to be like.

I would now consider myself a fan. Not a dirty geek fan, but i do regularly watch the show, it makes me laugh. I like it when they build up a powerful "emotional" scene and were Dawson's sack of shiat would then cut, Buffy tends to take a step back, point at the the emotional elements of its self and say "Ha Ha, I bet you're lapping this up you sad geeks!"

Have you seen, as a K Smith, the comic book convention in Chasing Amy? Now, those were sad people.

It's sci-fi in general.
I know I talk about Star Wars, but I dont own any of the toys anymore, or the books, or blueprints for ships, or go to conventions.

And I'm not saying ALL sci-fi fans are geeks, but the hardcore ones are way beyond anything I can understand.
Scary, hardcore lunatics that probaly think Trek can solve the world's ills if we all just watched Trek.

Or Buffy.
Or Deep Space Nine, or any of the other ones where decent white ship captains command their ethnically diverse crew to victory week after week.

Says I, sitting here at the computer, watching a video of Blackadder on my TV and cursing the day off school because I'm bored.

I saw a little clip of a sci-fi convention on TV the other day. It made me laugh. But Buffy's not the worst of them. It's Star Trek, and those people scare me.
