Romantic vampires are all the rage once again, what with HBO’s popular True Blood series and fans anxiously awaiting the release of the next Twilight movie. So, what does Joss Whedon, creator of Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, think about this renewed interest in the genre?
In talking to MTV, Whedon recalled back to 1997 when he was originally conceiving the now-legendary romance between brooding vampire Angel (David Boreanaz) and beautiful slayer Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar).
He said, “I thought a vampire romance with a slayer… people are going to laugh me out of the room. They’ll never go for it. Clearly I was wrong. There’s something really timeless about it. I saw Twilight… there’s something primal about that story. You can’t get away from it and it just works like gangbusters.”
But make no mistake about it, Whedon still backs his guy. Who does he think would win in a battle of Angel and Twilight’s Edward Cullen?
Whedon says, “I think Robert Pattinson is really cool. Angel would kick the s**t out of him. He’s Angelus. There’s no Edward ‘Cullunus.’ He just gets shiny in the sun. Boreanaz would have him down in a heartbeat. No offense, cause [Pattinson 's] hot.
What do you think? Would Angel win or would Edward surprise?

Why don’t they make a movie with: buffy&angelus ,the cullens, blade, dracula, other vampires,warewolfs,van helsing, mr hyde, withes, deamons and sl!!!
it would be something to watch!!! don’t you think?
I’ve seen all the buffy seasons about 10 times (me-nerd!), all the vampire movies that were ever made, and i red the twilight books (and saw the movie), so i’m a great fan of themes like these.
sadly my most beloved books were never made into a movie/series – the legend of ice people by margit sandemo. you all would love it.
but back to the subject: dawn would make a red slop out of eddie and buffy would take the rest of them out in 3 seconds… so why bother angelus or spike …
take care.
David Boreanaz would so kick Edward Culluns behind! No way will someone who shines in the sun would beat our Angel. Personally, Edward looks like a wimp – what vampire would get wrapped around Bella, anyway? I see nothing special about her….
Anyways, I can’t wait to see a little action between Booth and Brennan on Bones! I know it’s coming; the end of last season left it wide open.
Did anyone see last weeks episode, “A Night in the Bones Museum?” I watched it at http://bonesepisodes.net last night and it was aaaamaazing. When a mummy is found charred and chained to a chain link fence, Bones is fascinated by the archeological find. It is a mummy called the “Bleeding Heart” and something is missing from the gaping chest cavity. When the Egyptian government gets involved, the investigation is limited as they demand the return of their famous mummy.
On a romantic note, Bones is invited on a date with Booth’s supervisor, and of course he is upset by this prospect. Bones responds, “It’s a physical attraction,” and he goes crazier as she actually goes out for dinner and drinks. It’s so cute. Can’t wait for the next!
Angel with kick his ass, even with his mind reading power and stuff…now Angelus will probably go after that B…ch Bella, or his family, angelus will toy with his mind, he will want edward to go crazy at him, because thats what angelus love
Angel is the best, him and spike would wipe out the whole twilight cast, hate all this vampire stuff coming out now, once you watch buffy and angel than see the other stuff your like ok what the hell is this, angel vs edward come on won’t last 10 seconds, stefan from vampire diaries can beat edward and that show sucks, angel for life who’s with me
Angel is amazing, a hot and sexy vampire, he is so lovely and beautiful. I think Buffy and Angel are the most perfect Joss Whedon’s criation! Besides, in my opinion they have the most perfect love immortal together in the TV world! The chemistry between them are great.
