It's just as bad as you've heard. I went in hoping that people were just being harsh on Shyamalan out of habit, because I like suspense movies and would like to see him pull it back together. They really... aren't. ( Hey, get out the binoculars you use to spy on our neighbors )

Because numbered lists make me feel organized:

1. I really liked the movie.

2. I don't know when I'll do another one or what it will be. These things kind of just... happen. I can't force it, so I can't take requests, either.

3. Haven't done Golden Compass icons yet (eeek, sorry about that). I'll... do a double batch or something ( Read more... )

A few quick notes:

1. I'm posting this in honor of Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretchery Day, since I got my book deal because I put my work online for free.

2. The parody includes spoilers for Goblet of Fire (obviously) and at least one major spoiler for Order of the Phoenix. If you're not caught up, beware ( Read more... )

Well, finally. I would have done this weeks ago, but I didn't get to see the movie until Monday night as it was. A few quick notes:

>> Feel free to quote, link, or make icons, as always. The one thing I've always asked people not to do is repost an entire parody on any board, site or journal, and certainly not without my name. It's still ( Read more... )

Okay. This is just a very quick, light, loose 15M of The Prestige. My goal here was actually to write a shorter parody than usual, particularly because the movie was so complicated, and it ended up being a shade longer than Van Helsing and taking only a few hours. Which means that I'm happy. It's not meant to be a paragon of accuracy, chronological ( Read more... )

Go easy on me, you guys. This is the first "Fifteen Minutes" I've written after only one viewing since Phantom of the Opera. I left things out on purpose because it was going long, and I probably made mistakes. But it was fun, and it felt good after a long dry spell of writer's block ( Read more... )

As promised: Phantom of the Opera in Fifteen Minutes. I'm still counting up the fundraising, but we'll have a final count soon. I'm already running late with the book manuscript, but this was a very quick write--it practically parodies itself, and it was fun, and a good palate cleanser.

ETA 4/02/05: Okay. I'm gonna try to be real clear about ( Read more... )

Disclaimer and actual opinion: I had a lot of fun watching this one, and it was a perfect “Fifteen Minutes” movie-just good enough to bother parodying, and just over-serious enough to deserve it. I also tried to have more fun writing this one and got a little more loose with it, so all complaints that this or that was left out will be ignored ( Read more... )

Disclaimer and actual opinion: I thought the movie was brilliant, which means it was extremely difficult to parody, as it was already 1) good and 2) intentionally funny, so don't expect great things from this one. I’m going to warn you up front: despite-or maybe because of-being a parody of a children’s movie, this contains strong language and ( Read more... )
