“Jonathan” Does The Florida Recount 2000

Avedon has a great find, “Jonathan” of Buffy fame, Danny Strong, wrote a movie on the Florida recount that is in production, appraently with some big names:

Recount, the film written by Danny Strong about the 2000 presidential election, is currently filming in my state — at the scene of the crime. . . . What was more fun was meeting Danny Strong. Since I’m not a convention-goer, I figured I’d never actually meet any of the Buffy actors. But he was on the site, and I saw him here and there between takes. Then, there was one fairly long wait between takes, and he was taking photographs of the set. I was talking to another extra, and then I turned, and there he was a mere inches in front of me, with his back to me. Well, I couldn’t let the moment pass, so I said, “Thank you for writing this movie.” He turned, and I told him I was a fan, and we ended up talking about 15 minutes about the film, the election, etc. A couple of other extras also entered into the conversation, talking about their memories of the protests in Tallahassee back in 2000. Anyway, I think he was genuinely surprised to have someone single him out, as I don’t think anybody else among the extras knew who he was . . .

For Buffy fans like me, that is quite cool.

    zilch about Buffy, let me share my favorite Xena story.  Xena is off slaying Goliath, so Xena’s sidekick is flirting with David, who says, I just composed a new song.  Sidekick says:  let’s hear it.  David sings:  The Lord is My Shepherd.

    I met him at one of the fan things, and my daughter had a couple of pictures taken with him, and got an autographed magic bone.  

  1. …is now clearly explained.  We’re both Buffy fans.  The world is well.
