Haters to the Left

There's been over a month of silence on the blog, but we're sure a bunch of you can relate to the reason - that time of the university/college term where everything's due and then come the exams. And now the winter holidays are upon us all, so you should be seeing more from us over on Youtube.

Speaking of Youtube, in the several months since we posted our Twilight review, the hits and comments have kept on coming. Our official policy isn't to respond to the comments directly on Youtube (as far as I know) especially when it concerns the odd flame we receive. We do see your comments though, and your compliments just totally make our days!

This blog though seems like fair enough space (and I doubt any nay-sayers bother to read it) so I'd like to take this entry to go through some choice comments - both positive and negative - that we've received.

From silvertamagachi: "I'd let sparkly!Aladdin sneak into my bedroom and remove me of all human rights."

Exactly. I mean, it's not like Aladdin DOES anything... other than sit in the corner in a rocking chair ALL.NIGHT.LONG. (Peachers, you could be on to something!)

From FrenzyChickenStudios: "haha even though i luv the book that barbie part made mee pee my pants!"

Peachers - making people piss themselves since 2008!

From Mbmonkey: "You guys are hilarious. x]"

Thank you! We do try our best!

From decaydancegurl23: "okiz some of your video was funny and i admit it was true in some parts... but at some points you just went TOO FAR!"

It's comments like these that really make me smile. I mean, really I was the person who really ragged on Twilight the most. Laura said she rather enjoyed it, and Adri didn't seem to know where exactly to fall. Sure she didn't like it, but she didn't seem to hate it either. And yet people feel so slighted by our review because we didn't fangirl and flail over what is - in my opinion - on of the worst abominations of literature ever. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, the only person who has permission to be seriously butthurt by our opinions is Stephenie Meyer herself (which, from what I've seen, is a strong possibility thought I've seen worse from other people). But I guess to some fans, opening their eyes and seeing how ridiculous a book they like is... just HURTS. But we're sure not sorry about it.

From holechko232: "wow, you have like NO life. shes has enough thoughts dipshit. shes VERY complex. i just think you need to go back to the 70's miss BEATLES shirt."

Evidently, our video has thrown you into such a rage that you find yourself unable to type or know my name. I mean, it shouldn't be hard... our names were given at both the beginning and the end of the review. Also, you're off by a good decade on that insult. The best thing about this is that we DON'T need to get involved, because a sane person usually comes by to offer up the proper correction/defence in the comments on theit own. But yeah... The Beatles? Try the 1960's, thank you. SpinachPuffs said it best: "YOUR COMMENT HAS FAILED TO DAZZLE ME."

Also, let it be known that if anyone EVER wants to convince me otherwise that Bella does indeed have thoughts, feel free to! I'm eager to hear a proper argument.

From reneconner58: "F*** you. If you can't understand it then you must live a sad and lonley life. I don't feel one Oz. of sympathy. Twilight is about a couple. I couple who cannot possibly be together, but yet they try. They try and try and try. Edward's love for her overpowers the monster within him. It's a love story. You are a disgrace to the entire Twilight community and to Stephenie Meyer."

I think a lust story covers it better. All they want to do is jump each other and have lots of raunchy sex. But if that's what's passing for love these days then OKAY!

From JustMissMelon: "okay after 18 seconds this was not even worth watching, if you hate it so much why waste your time talking about it (rhetorical question)"

BECAUSE WE CAN.

From CptnTightpants: "I kind of love you all for this."

Believe me, we love all of you for watching!

From erinya13: "You guys are awesome and made me LOL. This should totally be a series."

Thank you! And while we will be working on other projects, this might be an occasional reoccuring series. And the books might not always necessarily suck too!

From Dominican231: "you guys r gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay seriously n i im not hatin im juxx telling da truth"

Well I am feeling pretty damn happy right now.

From Scapegoat723: "Hey, Beatles shirt. You are a god. This review is fucking awesome."

As it happens, I'm not technically a god. Timelady is more like it, but then again, a lot of lesser beings perceive us as godlike so... okay, I'll give you that one.

From neispita: "Awesome stuff, now I have to read Twilight. For the lulz. And I'm now very jealous that I don't have friends who'd do this sort of thing with me. Hope to see more of you, afterall fandom is infinite in its possibilities..."

You're exactly right! Fandom is infinite in its possibilities, and there will be more to come from us. There's some school vacation time ahead, so hopefully you'll see a finished video from us soon!

In the meantime, you could always check out Robot Girlfriend!

And until then, stay brilliant!
