given the hysteria over the Twilight saga, i really haven’t found it that impressive – as a book, a movie, or an idea. however, once you acknowledge this, you can appreciate the amazingness that is The Hillywood Show’s mash-up parody of the movie, where they ingeniously retake and remix shot-for-shot sequences from the first Twilight movie and Katy Perry’s Hot n Cold music video:
i’ve been showing it to everyone i know (regardless of whether they have read or seen Twilight), and you should too. these two girls (Hillary & Hannah Hindy, the Hillywood sisters) are miles more creative than Stephanie Meyers, and damn do they have skill and follow-through. talk about commitment!

I think I love Twilight just for the parodies.

This girl kept a moment-by-moment written commentary as she read the Twilight books. She’s frickin’ hilarious. She coined sparklepire, sparkle motion, and fursplode (the description of the transformation of Native American into werewolf).

This is a hilariously ridiculous thing done by a few of her friends. It basically extrapolates into the conversations that must go on between the Cullens. Things like the fact that Edward scrapbooks and listens to Bright Eyes. For all its absurdity, it’s painfully canon.
