Amber Benson at Wizardworld Phila 2012

Postby Tangetman » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:51 pm

I just met Amber Benson at the 2012 Phila Wizard World Con. I was so excited/nervous my friends had to almost drag me to meet her. I've heard that she's wonderful with her fans but to actually meet face to face... I was a puddle. She was soooo sweet and understanding. Please let me know if anyone else was at the con. Amber mentioned a new film that can be seen on netflix: "Drones". I've seen 'Chance', Lovers, Liars, and Lunatics, and Strictly Sexual but not this one. Has anyone take a look? Lemme know and thanks : ) It was so nice to finally meet her... :bounce

Drones is so good! She co-directed it with Adam Busch and Jonathan Woodward, Samm Levine and Angela Bettis star in it - it's super funny, kind of off-the-wall comedy about aliens who masquerade as humans in an office environment. It's really, really funny, even if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea, you should check it out, I've yet to watch it with someone who hasn't enjoyed it.

Tangetman,
Amber is indeed a total doll in person, and absolutely wonderful to her fans. I'm lucky enough to live in SoCal, and she does signings at my local bookstore whenever she has something new out. It's a real treat.

Drones is indeed very good. It's a little weird that Jonathan Woodward isn't a traitor (after watching Buffy, Angel, and Firefly, that is), but once you get past the gut reaction that he's going to screw the party, it's a total blast. Something I'll pick up on DVD once I have income.
More of a dog person, myself.

Drones is very very good. I bought it on DVD and enjoyed it immensely. One thing I do quibble with though is the rating given. On the Amazon.com website Drones is listed as "R" rated. Having seen it I say that is far too harsh as there really isn't anything to justify such a strong rating. The only questionable material in the film is the F-word is said twice. here in the UK the film would easily be released with a 12A rating (our equivalent of the PG-13) and that is the right rating for it.

I know that one should never confuse person and persona, but it was slightly weird (at least, for me) to be watching and listening to the sweet Lesbian Witch having a friendly chat with the Evil Hell Goddess. :lol

Thanks so much, Laragh, for the excellent interview. :D
