sometimes i doubt your commitment to sparkle motion

I should just make a Twilight tag and be done with it.

The thing is, I don't feel particularly passionate about Twilight (anymore - once the initial pain of reading it wore off - anyway). Mostly I stick around the anti-fandom because there are some funny people in it. Therefore, let me share with you all:

cleolinda, in one of her usual burst of awesomeness, screencapped the latest Twilight trailer. With commentary. I think my favorites are the West Side Story references.

However, over at twilight_sucks, one poster has a different perspective on that scene.

And truly, sometimes, I wonder why I even need anti-fandom when Twilight practically mocks itself. I mean, I'm fairly certain that Edward The Uber-Hawt isn't supposed to look (a) like a zombie (b) like he has a lazy eye (c) like he's had a mild stroke. The sad thing is that in real life, RPattz is actually pretty cute. Whereas in pretty much any promotional Twilight material, he looks like someone from which you would run. Screaming.

On a totally different note, I randomly looked up music videos for the Dresden Dolls on YouTube this weekend. OMG LOVE. They are so crazy and I <3 them.

I really need to start getting to sleep earlier, but then what else is new?

All I have to say is...

This would infinitely improve everything. :p

SO MUCH YES.

Mind you, there is very little which is NOT improved by naked Barrowman and Tennant :p

Um, of course. It IS Edward, after all, and you're too smart to think he's a good catch.

(but seriously, THIS is their best attempt at a man so gorgeous he gives Bella a complex over it? Really? Wow.)

Ah yes, the infamous EW cover....

See, any sane person would run screaming from Edward once you got to know him. But the way he's being depicted, you wouldn't even have to meet him; one look and you'd be running as fast as you could in the opposite directly. Because he looks seriously CREEPY. And not in a good way.

I love that you linked gofugyourself. The Twilight Poster critique was some of their funniest work.

Also, I have been obsessed with the Dresden Dolls' song "The Kill" for weeks.
