Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a personal preference for this May 11, 2000 shot of Sarah Michelle Gellar by Stewart Shining on the cover of the "Rolling Stone" over the one on the April 2, 1998 cover, but that is a minor point of quibbling given that either way you get not only a 10 x 12 reproduction of the cover but a 12-issue subscription to the magazine (if you want to figure out the savings, then read above where they do the math for you). Of course, down the road they will undoubtedly contact you about extending your subscription, but for those seriously into the contemporary music scene (you know who you are), you probably should be reading "Rolling Stone" by now.
If you actually have issue 840 of "Rolling Stone" then you get to read the cover story by Mim Udovitch, which asks the question, "What Makes Buffy Slay?" Given the choices between clothes, attitude, saving the world, or "the hot, sweaty sex," Udovitch goes "Behind the scenes at the coolest show on TV." Gellar and her cast mates were a few days away from shooting the final episode of the fourth season of the series, which had Buffy finishing her first year of college. Udovitch talks to both the cast and crew, and I like her concise version of why "BtVS" was so cool: "because it was writer driven; because it was increasingly ensemble driven; and because, at first glance, it was of a genre so fundamentally silly that it could get away with murder." It also gets beyond the obvious facts that Joss Whedon is a creative genius and Sarah Michelle Gellar can act.
Actually, the entire article tends to be more analytical than conversational (there is a section where the writer provides the text of an interview with Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon, and Anthony Stewart Head, and they just take it over completely), and I especially like Udovitch's take on how the show was subversive because of how integrated the character's sexuality are into their beings. The previous time Gellar was on the cover the story was more focuses on her career, but this one really is a pretty serious look at "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which is exactly what it should be. This is another reason to be interested in "Rolling Stone," because they take pop culture as seriously as they do music.
