Cleolinda Jones: Difference between revisions

[http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/ Cleolinda Jones] is the author of ''[http://community.livejournal.com/m15m/tag/parodies Movies in 15 Minutes]'', which began as a series of Internet parodies and eventually led to [http://www.amazon.com/MOVIES-FIFTEEN-MINUTES-BIGGEST-BOTHERED/dp/0575076879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220888289&sr=8-1 a book]. The parodies frequently engage in [[Lampshade Hanging]] or subverting common tropes. She is also known for her hilarious [http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/Twilight#Bookdiscussionentries recaps] of the ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' books and the popular [[Mega Crossover]] series, ''[http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/The+Secret+Life+of+Dolls The Secret Life of Dolls]'' (Which has a series page that can be found [[The Secret Life of Dolls|here]].).

* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Filmfilm)|Snape to Peter Pettigrew, with Bellatrix present]]: "Begone, Wormtail! Go fetch us a meat pie or something."

* [[Fox Chicken Grain Puzzle]]: One of her ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' descriptions references it:

{{quote| Yeah, it's like, Bella wants to be a vampire but she doesn't want to be a vampire before she's had sex as a human, and Edward doesn't want her to be a vampire but he wants to get married, but Bella doesn't want to get married unless she can be a vampire, but Edward won't have sex with her until they get married, and then you put the fox and the grain in the boat and you leave the goose back on the riverbank.}}

* [[Good Name for A Rock Band]]: Outragous Flavour and Furious Kitten. Both actually come from [[Midnight Sun]] ([[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]).

* [[Guilty Pleasure]]: Cleo describes the ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' series as this, with a metaphor:

{{quote| ''A lot of people are really passionate about these books. Some of them love and defend them passionately; others... well. I'm not going to defend them any more than I'm going to defend Twinkies--you go and get yourself a Twinkie when you have a very specific kind of craving <s>SUGARRRRR!</s>. If you want gourmet pastry, or even a homemade cake, you know where to get that. If you're eating a Twinkie, you clearly know what you want and why you're eating it, and you know that it's not good to eat very many of them, but... you know... sometimes you just want one. <s>And then when you're done you read it all over again.</s> Apparently there are people who think that Twinkies count as fine dining, but... well, live and let live, I guess.''}}

{{quote| ''Where are my lulz? My sparkly, sparkly lulz? MY TWINKIE HAS GONE BAD. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY COULD DO THAT.''}}

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Erik's "Sunburn O' Doom" is the subject of much mockery.

* [[Just Between You and Me]]: [[Harry Potter|Voldemort]] in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire (novel)|Goblet Of Fire]] in Fifteen Minutes'':

{{quote| '''Voldemort:''' I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter. Just as soon as I finish this monologue. Any day now.}}

* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: Frequent in her Twilight recaps. As she says [http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/630150.html in the beginning of her Breaking Dawn recap,] "Hand to God, I did not make one word of that up. [[Memetic Mutation|Twilight means never having to say you're kidding.]]"

* [[Overly Narrow Superlative]]: She describes the ''[[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]]'' series as "the best series starting with a teenage girl in love with a mysterious boy in her class that ended up with a teenage girl defending her growth-accelerated mutant hybrid baby from an ancient clan of evil vampires with her magical psychic shield that I ever read."
