I wanna get the t-shirt that says "Buffy staked Edward. The End." Even though I like Edward. Good stuff.

In this remixed narrative, Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer at Sunnydale High. It's an example of transformative storytelling serving as a visual critique of Edward's character and generally creepy behavior. Seen through Buffy's eyes some of the more patriarchal gender roles and sexist Hollywood tropes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways. --- This transformative work constitutes a fair-use of any copyrighted material as provided for in section 107 of the US copyright law.

Thanks for posting that, Ray! It's been a big hit with the Austenites.

Holy Cow, HOC-- 70% of your funding ... where is the rest generated? Fines and donations? Man... you have a great set up if you're getting that much from donations...

50% is huge. I'm reading two books-- both geared toward the same thing-- about the dumbing down of the curriculum in public schools. Access to libraries is the one place even poor folk have to even the score-- and they are the pride of our democracy, or ought to be. I'm not a resident of Ohio, of course, but a toast to you and yours in the good fight.

An amusing bit of spoiler I think originally from EW for true Blood fans.

The Hoyt-Jessica ship will of course be consummated, and they will discover that for Jessica, every time is a "first time."

Evil is making the premedicated choice to be a dick.

I dun think anybody has posted this link, yet:

Twilight on Cracked

It's a none-too-respectful dissection of the books, but it's highly amusing, anyway. Worth a read, if you have an opinion pro or con on the series. =^[.]^=

Burton Confirms "Dark Shadows" Next

By Garth Franklin Friday July 24th 2009 04:26AM
Its been previously touched upon, but now its confirmed - Tim Burton's first project after his upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" 3D project will be the long gestating "Dark Shadows" film says Digital Spy.

Based on the cult '60s supernatural TV show, the spooky soap-opera featured gothic horror staples like vampires, ghosts and zombies. Johnny Depp is attached to play Barnabas Collins, the vampire patriarch of the series.

"That’s something that [Depp and I] both love and are excited about. When I’m done with [Wonderland] I’ll definitely focus on that" says Burton.

TV Guy: Hybrid 'Human' more than the sum of its undead parts

What if the gang on "Friends" were vampires, werewolves and ghosts? Sometimes the best way to create something original is to recombine the familiar in new and different ways. Take the well-worn TV notion of three unmarried singles sharing an apartment, and blend that with our current obsession with the supernatural and the undead, and you have "Being Human" (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-14), a surprising and frequently superb new series from Britain.

George (Russell Tovey), Mitchell (Aidan Turner) and Annie (Lenora Crichlow) aren't your typical "Three's Company" roommates. Annie may be chatty, insecure and too concerned about keeping tidy and making tea, but you'd be on edge too if you had just died and found yourself haunting the apartment you had shared with your fiance. George and Mitchell work as hospital orderlies and look out for each other. That's because George is a werewolf, prone to some pretty destructive behavior one night a month, and Mitchell is a handsome vampire who has been struggling with his thirst for blood ever since he "died" during World War I.

Gentle and often surprising humor undercuts the gothic nature of this far-fetched tale. But don't go looking for "The Munsters." The laughs come laden with pathos. Because she is new to the spectral sphere, Annie's longing for her old life is both understandable and touching. It doesn't help that her old beau happens to be their landlord and that he's taken up with a rather trashy-looking operator of a tanning salon. "She's orange," complains Annie, who is herself quite invisible to most mortals.

George chafes at the hideous violence of his nature and the fact that most vampires hold werewolves in rather low regard. Mitchell's desire to be "good" around humans leaves him shaking with bloodthirsty desire in front of a pretty nurse who stammers with Bridget Jones-like awkwardness and harbors an obvious crush on him. Will he break her heart or do something much more rash?

Domestic affairs occasionally take a back seat to talk of a vast, international vampire conspiracy that may overshadow the much more engaging tale of friendship and mutual support among characters struggling with fate and playing the tarot cards they were dealt.
