http://www.rebelliouspixels.com/2009/buffy-vs-edward-twilight-remixedI LOVE IT ! As I've mentioned before I think Buffy is great art. Saw Twilight on DVD to see what the fuss was about. All I could think of was it was the kind of thing a 13 year old girl would be embarassed about 5 years later. The creepy emovamp looked like the kind of guy Spike or Angel would have beat up to take his lunch money. All I could think of was how Buffy would have laughed at this guy - and then staked him.
Nothing wrong with fiction that targets niche markets, but that stuff only holds up if now juxtaposed with art - that trancends genre and generation. And up a against Twilight - Buffy kills.
Could be a real teaching moment if you had an adolescent daughter.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
