SonomaLass: ROFLMAO!
I totally want to wear the shirt and go hang out at a bookstore. The last time I was at a brick-and-mortar bookstore, two weeks ago, I watched two women each purchase some kind of collector’s set of the Twilight books. I wanted to comment, boy howdy! did I want to comment, but kept silent since I figured they had a right to buy whatever cranked their engines without snide comments from me. After all, no one comments on my purchases. (Except my family, of course.) But the tee would just say it for me… more eloquently than I ever could. Does that make me a mean girl? *g*
He didn’t. Oh, how he didn’t. Both he and the lead actress pretty much snark on the series and its ridiculousness whenever possible. Don’t believe me? go to cleolinda.livejournal.com and check out her entries tagged sparkle motion.
Oh this was awesome coated in wicked dipped in cool sauce! I was laughing like crazy the whole time—even my husband thought it was funny, and he only got about one chapter into Twilight before wallbanging it.
I’ve been following Yes, I Read It. It’s Still Stupid. for my continued Twilight mocking enjoyment, and recommend y’all check it out too if you enjoyed the video. Rachel’s *good* version of Twilight is funnier than all heck.
Security word plans62—62 best-laid plans gone awry?
I absolutely LOVED that!
Have any Twitards shown up yet?
And so it came to pass…. That Buffy beat seven bells out of Edward the Awfully Written ! Bliss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t mention the proposed Buffy revamp (PUN…did ya notice?) No Joss….No chance of success !
This. Is. Perfect.
‘Also, if you want to watch a relationship between a human and vampire where the vampire is not simply a hot immortal dude with fangs, the best evah! is Sunshine by Robin McKinley.’
Ah, Suze, you’re my new best friend. >Waves a copy of Sunshine at the screen<
That was amazing; I absolutely loved it.
I don’t know if people here are familiar with MST3K, but the people who made that show now produce Rifftrax, where they sell audio tracks to play alongside the movie and just make fun of it the whole time. I watched the Twilight Rifftrax, and while it was hilarious and I recommend it to everyone, I still needed alcohol to get through it. The funny still needed liquid help to combat the bad.
(but again, I totally recommend the Twilight Rifftrax to anyone who used to like MST3K)
God, I hope somebody stakes Edward. Even as a teenager, i wouldn’t have liked him. Very creepy. Now, for a great vampire, I go with Angel (David B.) or Frank Langella or Richard Lynch (my favorite blond vamp).
Or in books, favorite vampire would have to be Cian from Nora Roberts’ Circle trilogy. Snark and angst and heroics and some serious hotness.
Oh, and some of the vamps in Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire series (more commonly called the Sookie series), particularly the crew in Dallas.
Has22? I would love to have 22 vamps as long as they are the good guys.
I read the books, saw the movie and liked them all.
But this was genius! Fantastic!
For all that I enjoyed Twilight in all it’s forms I am very aware of how overly angsty and drama queenish it was… but hey it’s still about vamps. Love my vampire movies and books.
reason63 – 63 reasons to love this remix are so obvious!
Hands down, the best book vampire is Henry Fitzroy in Tanya Huff’s Blood series. A smart, sexy, competent detective heroine and a believable sexy vampire—with mummies, shapeshifters and mad scientists thrown in for good measure throughout the books.
If you’re really interested the DVD of season one of the series based on the books just came out. It’s called Blood Ties and is fairly faithful to the books—they had the author’s input in production. Watching the series is far far better than the Twilight movie fiasco.
Plus, in the books, he’s a Romance Writer! (I still like Sunshine best, though.) *waves back at Kezia*
Apparently everybody who saw the video wanted the t-shirt; the Jinx site is down. I do want to to warn those of you who are thinking about ordering the shirt that, like pretty much every other seller of cool t-shirts on the internet, their sizing is wonky. The women’s shirt says that it goes up to a 2XL, but if you check the size chart, 2XL is like 38” in the bust, which is a size 12.
Spamword: rest87. Yep, the rest of the 87 places to buy shirts with slogans don’t sell to fat chicks either. Sigh.
ditto – if there are other people doing the same thing, does that mean I am not evil?
No staking Edward for fattys like me??
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks MichelleR for giving me fuel for arguing with my friend over the twilight vs buffy. LOL
Must admit it has been a year or two since I watched the series and was struggling to argue as all I could remember of the romantic relationships was that I hated Buffy in love.. lo
Joss rocks BTW.. lol
Loved this for giving a credible ending to a crappy movie. I saw it a month ago and I didn’t remember seeing half of the scenes; I think that tells how memorable it was.
And regarding how Angel and Spike were also stalkery and Buffy’s relationship with them was twisted, the point of difference between Buffyverse and Twilight in this aspect is that Twilight treats the unbalanced relationship bet its leads as something wholesome and envy-inspiring while in Buffy, Whedon makes it look as unhealthy, bitter and dark as it is. Everyone around Buffy isn’t happy about her relationships (except the Riley one and that was b.o.r.i.n.g!) Of course people romanticize Buffy’s relationship with Angel and then Spike but the series itself was very clear about how creepy and sometimes irredeemable both of them were.
And best vampire ever according to me, definitely the Sunshine guy. My god he was droll and grounded, what an awesome combo for a vampire. Has anyone ever come across a practical vampire (I wouldn’t count Louis in this as he was just a milk-soaked-cardboard, mind you, I love Louis)? For those who read m/m, Jordan Castillo Price’s Bill in her Channeling Morpheus series is wicked awesome!
-anin
Practical vampire?
I’d say that the version of Dracula in Fred Saberhagen’s The Dracula Tape and The Holmes-Dracula File qualifies. These are straight fantasy rather than romance, but compact and very readable. There are a number of further volumes in the series, but the first two are the best by a considerable margin, as later entries become increasingly oblique.
Someone mentioned “Twitards” earlier, a term with which I wasn’t familiar. xkcd, one of my favorite cartoons, created its own awesome in a similar vein (oops): http://xkcd.com/591/
ME: *giggle* “OMG this is so funny!” *snort*
My 13 year-old daughter: *glare* (pointing at screen) “THAT IS SO NOT FUNNY!” (stomps off)
She keeps trying to convince me to read the Twilight series (she has about 12 times each) and I keep evading… I had plenty of angst in my own teen years, and plenty more to experience in my daughter’s life now, I really have no desire to read about someone else’s.
And count me as another big fan of Sunshine, though I also enjoyed the Saberhagen Dracula books as well. : )
I am one of the few that have not seen Twilight but did LOVE Buffy. I fell off my ass watching this. I do agree with Angela James – don’t see the attraction for Edward as shown in the movie.
Watching this video makes me realize what a breath of fresh air Buffy is. You’ve got the fantastical Edward and his angsty stalkery feelings and Buffy’s tone is like a cold shower of realism.
Loved the video. I’ve tried to read the first of the
Twilight books but not being a twelve year old girl, the only redeeming thing I could see was that she at least had the kids reading. Haven’t seen the movie but I know I would still prefer Buffy.
A coworker sent me that video last week. I love it, and will adore Buffy and the whole Joss Whedon oeuvre until the end of time…
but especially Buffy.
And Angel is SO much better than Edward in every possible way.
Just wore “THE” T shirt to the cinema…cue lots of smirks, & many tweenage sniffs (OK I took the spawn to see Ice Age 3. ….It’s fab BTW!)
But there can be only ONE vampire, and it is the utterly
wonderful, sumblimely psychotic Spike !
lol. I particularly liked the shot of cedric diggery.
