Spoof trailer for Twilight, with the real movie trailer underneath.

Feminist Narrative and the Supernatural:  Waaaaaannnnnttttt!! (Which is not to be mistaken for "Buy for me!")

Stargate: Universe:  Strangely, not so sure I want. I mean, come on, why call it Stargate if it's primarily a space ship show?  And can't they leave the Ancients with a little dignity?  At this point, I'm amazed they were competent enough to tie their shoes, given how many times TPTB has had them make potentially-galaxy-ending goofs.  (Also, the emphasis on their being younger and wanting relationships makes me think of that one bit in 100, which is the only bit that made me want to hide, as it was so close to stuff that's out there.)

*giggling* My, that Amazon link looks familiar. :)

As well it should! (Why can't it at least have a token discount?)

Wasn't Stargate: Universe previously known as Star Trek: Voyager? And God knows how many mortal enemies this bunch will make for the human race.

You know, in 10 seasons, SG-1 only made 3 mortal enemies. And only one was from being stupid. And they made just as many allies.

I figure Universe has a 50/50 chance of escaping suckage.

I agree with lesbiasparrow that it sounds very Voyager-ish. I think they're trying to turn Star Gate into another Star Trek (with the mass cult following, etc.) But it sounds interesting either way. I love Atlantis so I'll be very sad to see it end, though. At least they've promised us movies, too. I think they're trying to prevent Atlantis from languishing toward the end like SG1 did (to me anyway).

That they're trying to turn Stargate into Star Trek is one of my current big fears.

"He also has my Nickelback cd and I sort of want it back."

Why is that trailer so much better than the real one? Also the guy flopping around in the cardboard box amused me.

The real trailer is painful primarily, I think, because the actors have some serious chemistry going, but have clearly figured out that they chose the wrong movie to display it in.

And having read/watched interviews with Kristen Stewart and seen a few clips from various things, I don't think I could ever buy her as a clumsy twit with no survival skills. She seems more likely to stomp on someone's instep and then find the closest thing to swing or throw, if there's no obvious escape route.

The spoof it good because it revels in the absurdity. And you aren't quite sure if the door was really supposed to be closed.

Poor RPattz gives the impression that he just sort of wants the craziness to blow over. Poor kid, he seems like a pleasant guy. And Kristen Stewart seems far too capable for Bella. She reminds me slightly of Emily Deschanel, who is most definitely not needing to be saved.

In most shots you see of them that aren't in character, she looks like the one who will be beating people up, and he looks like he doesn't mind.

You can't picture her stumbling in the woods while running for her life unless it's as a distraction to grab that nice, sturdy branch she saw.

I classify them both as pleasant kids who want to escape. But being 18, she seems to be trying harder to save face. (I half get the feeling that she's a fan who didn't realize how bad it was until she was playing Bella.)

*watches both* Okay, the main difference I can see is that one has slightly better production values, one is funnier, and the acting feels stiff on both of them.
