Luuuunga! E la sto postando con Agent (se sono capace :-) perche' ho

Non ho alcuna intenzione di tradurla, sia chiaro :-)))))))

August 2001 OUT Magazine Cover Story
ALYSON'S WONDERLAND
Written by Jeffrey Epstein. Photographed exclusively for OUT by Todd
Oldham
The phenomenal success of the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" stems
from good writing, compelling plotlines, and a not-so-secret weapon:
Alyson Hannigan, the 27-year-old actress who plays Buffy's best
friend, Willow, and ever-more-out lesbian and increasingly powerful
witch. Hannigan talks shop with OUT about the positive queer image
she's creating for young gays and lesbians and her role in this
summer's sequel "American Pie 2", where she shows up at band camp as a
counselor who knows how to use her flute.
Waiting up front at the Broadway Deli in Santa Monica, Alyson Hannigan
is early for her interview. "I'm always early," she blushes -- with
such guileless candor, it's easy to see how the charming redhead
genuinely may not remember how "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss
Whedon informed her that her character, Willow, would blossom into a
lesbian.
"I really wish I had a better memory of how Joss told me," apologizes
Hannigan, 27, as she digs into an omelette in a cozy back booth of the
restaurant. Her smile is warm and natural, and she has a down-to-earth
presence that eludes some actors who have starred in hit television
shows (she's been on "Buffy" since its debut in March 1997) and movies
(she's in this month's "American Pie 2"). "It was such a nonissue. He
mentioned I was going to have a new friend, and she was going to be my
friend, she wasn't going to be the group's friend. But we didn't have
a sit-down conversation."
The show, based on Whedon' flop 1992 movie of the same name, centers
around the Slayer (Sarah Michelle Gellar), whose job is to protect
innocents (i.e., is human folk) from the likes of vampires, demons,
and all-around shady characters. Since the beginning, Willow has been
an indispensable member of the group, as a computer brainiac and now
as a very powerful witch.
In fall 1999 the "Scooby Gang" (their self-given nickname because of
their tendency to be those "meddling kids" who ruin the bad guy's day)
arrived at college, where Willow met Tara, with whom she would
eventually fall in love. But earlier that year we got our frist hint
that Willow, who at the time was dating a boy named Oz, might be a
little queer. In an episode titled "Doppelgangland," Willow met her
evil twin from a parallel dimension and concluded that her alter ego
was "kinda gay."
"But at that time Oz was still there," shrugs Hannigan. "So I didn't
give it a second thought."
A waiter comes over to check on things and does a double take. "You're
from 'American Pie'! Can I have your autograph?" he finally manages to
get out as Hannigan blushes and obliges. "Don't tell my boss," he
whispers, fumbling for a pen. "And will you write that line on there?"
"No, don't make me do it!" she groans sweetly as he walks away to tend
to another table, leaving Hannigan with the slip of paper. "That's the
worst part of 'American Pie.' Everybody wants me to do that line."
"That line" contains the words Hannigan made infamous two summers ago
when playing the shockingly sexually aggressive Michelle in the teen
sex comedy. "And this one time, at band camp..." They are words that
will haunt her forever, especially since the high-profile sequel is
opening in theaters this month.
"It was a blast," she says of filming the first movie, in which four
guys are determined to lose their virginity before graduating from
high school. "I just hope people like the second one too, because
there are so many expectations." Because of secrecy regarding the
plot, Hannigan can reveal only that the movie takes place the summer
after the teens' first year at college. "And my character is now
working at a band camp," she giggles.
Hannigan was born in Washington, D.C., where her parents, who divorced
when she was an infant, were both photographers. "So whenever they
needed a baby, they would put me in front of the camera, and I loved
it," she says. After moving to Atlanta, Hannigan began appearing in
print ads and commercials.
After Hannigan's father relocated to Santa Barbara, Calif., she and
her mother went out to visit when she was 11 and decided to move to
Hollywood. Her first job, on the 1988 movie "My Stepmother Is an
Alien," led to other roles. But things slowed down in high school, and
Hannigan found herself babysitting ("I babysat for Bob Saget's girls,"
she recalls) and working at a video store in the San Fernando Valley,
which was more disturbing than it might sound. "I'd say that 75% of
the store was porn," she explains, "There was one guy who would come
in right as we opened, renting the maximum -- which was, like, six --
and by the end of my shift he would return all of those and rent six
more. He would do that all weekend long. How much porn can you watch?
Even on fast-forward, that's gotta give you a headache."
Hannigan's headaches ended when she landed the role of Willow
Rosenberg on "Buffy." She loves to remind Whedon that she wasn't his
first choice for the role. "Until the day I die, I will give him a
hard time," she laughs. At the time the WB network wanted one young
woman and Whedon wanted another; Hannigan was the compromise.
"She won't let me forget that," cracks Whedon, who has become close
friends with Hannigan. "I was charmed by her, but I had no idea,
basically, how great she was. She responds to every challenge the same
way, which is to be as good an actress as I'm ever gonna get to work
with."
"She's a very generous actress who is 100% there in a scene," says
Amber Benson, who plays Hannigan's on-screen girlfriend, Tara. "I met
her long before 'Buffy', and the first thing I remember thinking was
that she had a great laugh."
Willow's self-discovery was initially hinted at when Willow and Tara
worked some magic together that seemed like a little more than
witchcraft. "Obviously, during a couple of the spells, they were so
fucking," notes Hannigan. "I was like, 'This isn't a spell -- this is
just the sex you can get away with on television!'"
"In one episode the spell they did involved a great deal of chanting
and Willow falling into convulsions, which did not disresemble an
orgasm," concedes Whedon.
"I never had any apprehensions about it," says Hannigan regarding
Willow's sexual journey. "It's always been a part of my environment
and my life. Growing up, my mom's best friend was -- well, he still is
-- gay."
While the show's characters were accepting of their friend's
sexuality, fans weren't necessarily eager to embrace the new Willow.
"I think there may have been a little bit of a shock at first, maybe
even some animosity," reveals E!Online TV expert (*insert snort*)
Wanda, whose weekly chat and column get more than 2 million hits a
month.
"There was at first this giant bunch of people on the Net going, 'I
will never watch this show again. You made Willow a fag,'" remembers
Whedon. "I'm kinda like, 'Bye. We'll miss ya a whole lot.'"
Many fans were just disappointed that Willow's boyfriend Oz [Seth
Green] had left the show. "The biggest problem was that people loved
Seth so much," Whedon points out. "We loved him too, but he left. And
getting people into a new character is difficult."
But over the months, fans of the show have warmed to Tara and her
relationship with Willow. "I didn't realize how much so until Tara
suffered a tragedy near the end of last season," says Wanda. "I
started getting E-mail after E-mail asking if Tara would be OK, if
they were staying together, if Willow would save her. I got things
like, 'You must tell me! Will Willow and Tara make it? I can't sleep
at night. Signed, so-and-so, mother of three.'"
"We do have a bunch of people saying we've changed their lives," says
Whedon, who has said in the past that he didn't want to make "Buffy"
an "issue" show. "I always want to put out good role models. But I
wasn't there saying, 'I want to help gay teenagers be comfortable with
themselves.' We talked about the idea of college as being a place
where people expand their sexuality or discover their sexuality. Then
Seth Green decided he didn't want to do the show anymore. That's when
[Willow's sexuality] blossomed into full womanhood. To get these
responses was wonderfully overwhelming. It turned out to be one of the
most important things we've done on the show."
Not that it didn't cause some grief with the WB. "They were a little
thrown," recalls Whedon. "They said, 'We've introduced gay characters
on all our other shows.' Ultimately, they felt it out, expressed some
concerns, and called me and said, 'Do whatever you want.'"

Had the WB known it would end up losing the show to UPN, "they would
probably have said, 'We're taking it out!'" jokes Whedon, referring to
the show's move to the rival network in the fall, after the WB (where
"Buffy" was one of the network's top-rated shows) failed to cough up
the show's requested renewal fees.
"We think that the money spent on 'Buffy' is not only reasonable but a
very good investment," says Dean Valentine, president and CEO of UPN.
"'Buffy' is one of the best, if not the best, shows on television."
As for Willow and Tara, Valentine says, "the lesbian storyline has not
been discussed with us yet. However, it is a nonissue in terms of
UPN's purchase of the show."
Adds Whedon: "They haven't said anything except, 'Make the show like
you make it.'"

The show is also being turned into a cartoon for Fox, but because that
series will take place back in high school, expect to see a young
Willow still doting on her first crush, Xander. "Every now and then
we're like, 'Willow says, "I'll have the tuna platter,"' and we
laugh," cracks Whedon. "There may be some hidden subtextual joke that
keeps us amsued, but it's a show for younger kids, and we're keeping
it simple."
That's how Hannigan likes to keep her life too. As we leave the
restaurant and make our way to Santa Monica Pier, Hannigan puts on her
sunglasses (not out of pretension; it's bright). Walking toward the
renowned tourist-trap amusement area, I realize I may be bringing the
poor girl into the pits of hell. "No, she says with a laugh. "If you
don't want to get noticed, you don't get noticed."
Hannigan did turn the head of her boyfriend, Alexis Denisof, whom she
met when he guest-starred on "Buffy" before landing on the show's
sister series, "Angel." "He wouldn't date me at first," she notes.
"Professionalism or whatever. So we became really good friends. But it
was sort of inevitable; we'd had such a flirtatious friendship."
The pair just got back from Fiji, where Hannigan had a chance to relax
after filming "Buffy" and "AP2" simultaneously. "When I was in Fiji,"
the actress says, "I started to miss everybody and wonder what was
going to happen this year."
One thing she won't have to worry about is the strong effect her
character is having on people's lives. "I was at the grocery store,
and this woman came up to me," Hannigan recalls. "She was with her two
kids, and she said, 'I just want to tell you, I'm a lesbian, and your
show has done so much.' You can't ask for anything nicer than that."

scusa, ma sta scena proprio me manca...
oddio, forse la scena dell'incantesimo quando cerca di capire se nel
corpo di buffy c'e' davvero buffy o meno (insomma, nell'episodio con
faith nel corpo di buffy)
pero' non me sembra di ricordarmi incantesimi che "involve a great deal
of chanting and Willow falling into convulsions, which did not
disresemble an orgasm"...
insomma
che me ricordi, le scene piu' "ambigue" possono essere state:
->quando appare tara la prima volta, che si prendono la mano per
concentrare le energie e spostare il distributore e bloccare la porta
per fermare i gentiluomini
->quando buffy entra in iniziative, che willow va da tara "per fare
incantesimi" e poi buffy torna la mattina presto (dopo una notte con
cicciobombomarine) e will arriva pochi istanti dopo
->quello sopra ricordato
->in New Moon Rising (che tra l'altro non hanno fatto) il "devi stare
colla persona che ami" ed anche prima che will si mette a paingere su
tara, poi stacco, e oz sente su tara l'odore di will
e qui penso siano finiti nella quarta stagione;
nella quinta, beh...
piu' e piu' volte loro abbracciate, quasi in intimita'...
ma una scena cosi' porprio nun me viene in mente...
Illuminami, o sommo Laz...

beh, l'episodio potrebbe essere questo in "who are you" (16mo della 4a

da 
http://www.buffyguide.com/episodes/whoareyou/whoareyousyn.shtml
===========
Back at Lowell House, FiB (=Faith nel corpo di Buffy) climbs onto Riley's
lap and begins to kiss him. Riley points out that the door is open, but FiB
doesn't care - she figures they could learn a thing or two. Riley sets her
down and closes the door, and FiB climbs on to the bed, asking Riley what
"nasty little desire" Riley wants to try out ("Am I a bad girl? Do you wanna
hurt me?"). Riley is confused, and wonders what they're playing. He tells
her that he doesn't want to play, and he kisses her tenderly.
Meanwhile, Willow and Tara prepare their spell. They sit facing each other,
one hand on each other's knee, and chant. A circle of light builds around
them and begins to rise. The girls touch their left hands together and begin
to sweat and breath heavily, staring at each other. The light suddenly
disperses, as Willow falls back to the floor and arches her back, moaning.
Concurrently, Riley and FiB have finished making love, and Riley looks down
at FiB, saying (for the first time) that he loves her. FiB is clearly thrown
by this, and pushes Riley off her, asking, "Who are you? What do you want
from her?" She tells him that this is meaningless, and he wonders what
happened. He wraps a sheet around her and holds her lovingly
===========
ovvero: di buffy e riley vi possiamo far vedere quasi tutto, di willow e
tara solo che di toccano le mani e ansimano
F.
P.S.: io questo episodio me lo sono perso; nell'originale Buffy (posseduta
da Faith) dice a Spike: "I could ride you at a gallop until your legs
buckled and your eyes rolled up. I've got muscles you've never even dreamed
of. I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you would
beg me to hurt you just a little bit more." COME LO HANNO TRADOTTO!?!?!? mi
sorprenderei (positivamente) se ne avessero trasmessa una trasposizione
fedele!
