Buffy vs. Edward: Twilight Remixed
“Seen through Buffy’s eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways,” writes Jonathan McIntosh about his classic mashup of the two vampire franchises. With Twilight’s release of Breaking Dawn on November 18, it’s worth revisiting this subversive, and highly entertaining, critique.

Many thanks to Flavorwire for rounding up this list of world-wide literary traditions for die-hard fans of Ernest Hemingway and Jane Austen alike. I once journeyed to Dublin one ill-fated June 16th to celebrate Bloomsday, only to discover upon my arrival that the festivities had been shut down to commemorate a national funeral. Mercifully, my traveling companion and I managed to find the one tour in operation, only to desert after 30 minutes due to the gross incompetence of our guide. He was filling in, and admitted to never having finished the legendary tome in question, Ulysses.
Now, as you begin planning your 2012 travels, pick your poison. May you have better luck than I:
The Poe Toaster (Baltimore, MD)
Bloomsday (Dublin, Ireland)
Muggle Quidditch (Middlebury, VT)
The Hemingway Look-Alike Contest (Key West)
Kissing Oscar Wilde’s Tomb (Paris, France)
The Jane Austen Festival (Bath, England)
The Annual Moby Dick Marathon (New Bedford, MA)
Baker Street Irregulars (New York City)
Your book, Role Models, is about the people that you look up to. Are there any people that you look down on?
There are, but my specialty in my career is never saying negative things about people — it’s praising people that other people don’t like; that’s more my beat … It basically wouldn’t be worth writing a book about; people you don’t like, you just ignore. I’d say the greatest success that I’ve had in my life is that I never have to be around assholes anymore; that’s better than rich. And rich just means you can just afford any book you want without looking at the price. That, to me, is rich.
