So, what book was this buffet of romance based on? Or, better, how many books?! Total and epic win to the folks at Fandom lounge who said, “OMG WTF MUST SEND TO Smart Bitches.” HA! WIN!
Thanks to InnocentSmith, who also sent me the much higher-res link should you wish to see the high quality version.
You really should watch the high-res version to appreciate what lyrangalia wrote: “I feel like I need an explanation as to why the entire Romance aisle of the bookstore just came alive and [tried] to eat me.”
She also suggests a drinking game “where you take a shot every time a romance novel cover is recreated.” If I did that, I’d be comatose.
You people crack me up. Jennifer Armintrout: you win the awesome award for the day. Everyone else, snarkalicious! I can’t *wait* for the sequels.
OMG… Must…look…away….
My husband finally asked why I was giggling to myself. I couldn’t explain… I must force him to watch this…he must suffer as I did.
Seriously…someone paid people to do this? Obviously they didn’t realize they could find a few crazy ren fair folks, a couple of the dungeons and dragons crowd and one or two theatre majors and get something just as cheezy if not more so. Probably cheaper too, but I bet a lot more fun.
word is farm 64: as in not even the threat of 64 years on the farm would make me watch that again. At least I had it on mute.
It wasn’t the Eddings stuff, but another like it. I only read it a year or two ago. I will have to find it. I know it is somewhere on the shelves.
I loved the Eddings stuff too and really enjoyed this other series. But I am old and forgetful.
it sort of does a really bad david bowie labyrthinth era crossed with neverending story thing for me
less22: less22 of the crazy fantasy elements it might have made sense!
Oh my sides…. I have been laughing for the past ten minutes at not only the creepy white haired manbitch singing whispery lyrics that I can’t quite catch, perhaps due to my sinuses exploding a little, nor do I really care about listening to them much, and the group of women in this video, but also the comments. I love you people so much. XD
But seriously! This video would be fine if the lead guy wasn’t a creepy looking manbitch, especially when he paints that goatee on, and the music. This is the second time in 24 hours that I’ve run into a video where the music seriously needed to be considered when pulling a semi-period costumed video.
Honestly, I have no problem with the song, in fact I like it, and the video is very nicely done. But they should not be combined. EVER.
omg, @ehren. I just went to see that other video. When the Craig Ferguson voice started reading the intro, I thought it was going to be a spoof. Then it got more serious looking. Then Teen Angel started singing that *song* in that *voice* and the wtf dissonance between the song and the images made my brain burn.
Methinks the music industry is picking up on the trend toward historicals in romance and has no idea about how to pair those images with modern music. A session in front of A Knight’s Tale might give them a clue.
Lisa- I agree. Not a bad song, and not a bad video but together?? WTF is up with the white wedding gown crap? They really need to do some reasearch before they throw what they think belongs in one of these things, in them.
A Knight’s Tale- haven’t been able to watch is since Heath died.
Even more than Robin Hood, I love all things Musketeers.
This is a weird hybrid of pop from the 70’s and an ignorance of D&D (or, fantasy). I want to kick him in the pants.
