Title: Twilight Werewolf Casting Call Parody
Post by: amorYcohetes on January 14, 2011, 05:36:10 am
Figured members here might enjoy what I found to be a hysterically funny spoof of a "Twilight-New Moon" casting call by a troupe of young Native actors/comics(?).  Er, not to be too inflammatory but from what I've heard about the Twilight books and movies, they sound absolutely despicable and unworthy of my time or thought.  From commentary friends have pointed me to, one of the many (http://www.youtube.com/user/feministfrequency#p/u/3/zQwqepW97zs), many (http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2010/03/the_writing_style_of_twilight.html) manifestations of utter wrongness in the series was the way the Native American character was handled (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2359216/twilights_inaccurate_portrayal_of_native.html?cat=9) in the book, and then on top of that the casting of the movie version of the character (http://twimedia.blogspot.com/2010/03/issue-of-native-misrepresentation-in.html). 

So it always gives me a laugh to see the author/producers/fans viciously mocked in hilarious parodies (there is a mashup video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZwM3GvaTRM) in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer - a show not without its own major issues (http://forums.televisionwithoutpity.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=2342442&view=findpost&p=10310199) - totally schools him and kicks his ass!)

Anyways, here's the links to the Native actors' sendup of the casting call:

Holy crap.  :o

You have to have seen Silence of the Lambs to fully appreciate it, but the analogy is perfect.

Migizi does a great job, but it would have been even funnier to have someone that looks whiter. Like Ryan Redcorn (ducks).
