A slice of "Wedding" Pie

(Scene begins as “Laid” by James plays in the foreground while a group of execs played by Team TLOTA trade their Charts, Graphs, etc., for pie baking utensils as they make the perfect pie crust then fill it with the nastiest bodily fluids possible then slap it in the oven, pull it out and the pie explodes. Cut to later as they clean up the mess and notice an entire series of movies. Cut to the outside of James’ office as he picks them up and sighs as the door closes as the words “American Pie” Bakery” are seen. Cut to James dressed in a tuxedo in his office.)

TLOTA:
I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views I’m about to express are that of my own and some of yours. I’m wearing a Tuxedo because, well this slice of pie, happens at a Wedding. Which of course means all sorts of jokes from… you know what? I’m going to try to keep “The Room” jokes and references down to a minimum. Instead, I will try to use references to other movies released around that time. I mean what other movie was released around the same time…(Cut to a poster of “Gigli” as a dramatic sting plays. Cut to James getting ready to run for his life as Julia Alexa Miller drags him back in by the seat of his pants)

Julia Alexa Miller:
Okay, if you can get through this without making a reference to “The Room” and as few mentions of “Gigli” as you can then maybe, just maybe I’ll reward you with (Whispers something in James’ ear which makes James smile)

TLOTA:
LET’S DO IT! (Cut to title card of “American Wedding”. Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
This is the slice of Pie that took down “Gigli”!  What made this movie so successful outside of being made to take on the Worst movie ever? What could happen as Michelle and Jim walk down the Aisle? How can Stiffler be more of an ass? Can Finch find someone a little more age appropriate? How much more gross out humor will they shove in? (Cut to James in a tux his office)

TLOTA:
Let’s see if this slice of pie is can be as good as the other two, this is “American Wedding”! (Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
The movie opens as Jim and Michelle are on a date celebrating graduating from College and Jim has something big on his mind and for the first time it isn’t sex! As Jim talks about the fact they live with his parents and probably knowing Jim he and Michelle are in “Jim’s Bedroom Of Shame” and in the middle of this date, Jim’s dad informs Jim he left a ring back at his place and he’s coming with the ring. Stalling until his dad arrives, Michelle decides to pleasure Jim in the restaurant right in the middle of that, Jim’s dad comes in with the ring but as it is with Jim comes at the most inopportune time as Michelle overhears something and Jim’s dad embarrasses him as he is… yeah, Censoring everything below Jim’s waist here and just to ensure the little dignity he has left the top of him as well. After that Jim asks the big question, the question that changes lives, permanently! (Show Jim proposing marriage to Michelle. Cut to the rest of the movie as James does a voiceover) We soon see Jim being congratulated by Finch and Kevin with the happy news. But where’s Oz? (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I guess he had better things to do than to congratulate his friend on his upcoming nuptials for… (Show poster of “The United States Of Leland”. Cut to James physically) Nothing I saw. (Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
As a matter of fact, Heather, Jessica, Nadia and Vicki aren’t in this one either, Where the hell were, they? (Show posters of “Devil’s Pond”, “Van Wilder” and “My Boss’s Daughter” and James says “Okay, never saw those, Where’s Jessica?”. Show posters of “Die Mommy Die” & “Party Monster” and James says, “Never seen those either, Okay Heather, where was she?”. Show poster of “Trauma” and James says, “Seriously? Where was Nadia at this point? I’d really like to know…”. Show poster of “Love, Actually” and James shouts “OH COME ON?! YOU GUYS COULDN’T SHOW YOURSELVES AT A WEDDING?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH AT LEAST THREE QUARTERS OF YOURSELVES, TARA REID I SADLY KNOW WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER!” Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
The next day, everyone comes to congratulate Jim and Michelle when… (Show Stiffler as he enters, and James says “Right on Cue and as big a horny ass Stiffler is! Seriously, He’s getting restraining orders the same way the Cullens from “Twilight” has graduation caps! “. Show clip of Edward as he says, “Uh yeah, it’s a private joke, we matriculate a lot!”. Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Yes people, I just made a reference to “Twilight”! This is not a good mental sign for me! (Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
As Michelle’s parents arrive, their dogs have their way with Stiffler and Jim! Hoping to start fresh Jim and Michelle continue to feel good about their wedding, Stiffler discovers Jim and Michelle are getting married which of course means Bachelor party and for Stiffler means more of a reason for him to be an asshole and hopefully for our sake be locked up for the rest of his life having to sleep with one eye open and praying his bunkmate doesn’t want to weave up and down the Hershey Highway. At any rate, Jim continues to try and patch things up with Michelle’s parents. Meanwhile Stiffler forces himself into the wedding by showing Jim how to dance because Jim dancing is a plot point in this movie. Jim however decides if Stiffler is going to be at his wedding to Michelle, Stiffler better tone his actions and attitude down to zero otherwise Michelle will kill him and she doesn’t mean it as a Euphemism, Michelle will literally beat the living man crap out of him and mount his privates on her mantlepiece. The only caveat for Stiffler acquiescing is that he gives Jim the most fowl and disgusting Bachelor Party since the movie “Bachelor Party”. Meanwhile to get Michelle’s dress it’s off to Chicago and to a bar to find Leslie Sommers. As the others look for Leslie, Stiffler goes bar hopping at a Gay bar while there an associate of Leslie by the name of Bear played by Eric Allen Kramer. Stiffler and Bear have a dance off to find Leslie. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
I’m getting a little exhausted right now, there’s only so much I can take. We’ll be right back!
(The scene fades to black before cutting to James as he stands on top of a slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before fading to black then cutting to James as he stands on top of a slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it before cutting to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
As Stiffler wins the dance off, Leslie reveals himself and says whatever Michelle’s dress she wants, she’s got it no questions asked. Meanwhile Bear helps with the Bachelor Party. And Michelle’s sister Cadence played by January Jones stir a romantic rivalry as to who will win her. Stiffler or Finch. (Cut to James physically as he puts on a dealer’s cap)

TLOTA:
Okay People, who do you think will win, betting begins, Now! (Cut to Team TLOTA as they all shout who’d they think will win and Julia Alexa Miller looking at everyone and wondering what’s going on as her whistle shatters glass.)

Julia Alexa Miller:
What is going on? Are you guys seriously betting on who will win the heart of Cadence? (James walks over to Julia Alexa Miller)

TLOTA:
It was meant to be a funny joke that I do but since you said that, I am now forced by Internet Creator Guild laws to use this clip. (Cut to the clip of The Joker shouting “If you have to explain the joke, THERE IS NO JOKE!”. Cut to James and Julia Alexa Miller)

Julia Alexa Miller:
Oh, okay, put me down for neither at a hundred dollars.

TLOTA:
Okay.  (The others look on and sigh in disbelief and walk away.
Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Finch tries to overhear their conversation as Michelle tells her sister she can’t explain love! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU’VE BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A DUDE WHO AFTER EMBARASSING HIMSELF TIME AND AGAIN BETWEEN PUTTING HIS DICK IN A PIE, EMBARASSING HIMSELF ON-LINE AND CAUSING THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT TO BE SENT BACK TO HER HOME COUNTRY, GETTING HIMSELF SUPERGLUED TO HIMSELF AND A PORNO, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, WHO TROMBONED HIMSELF TO BE WITH YOU , GIVING UP THE WOMAN HE THOUGHT HE WANTED FOR YOU AND YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN LOVE?! (Cut to clip of Linkara having a mental breakdown in his review of “Maximum Clonage”. Cut to the movie as James continues his voiceover) Ugh, at any rate, Stiffler see Cadence as well and wants nothing more than to bone her. So, what to do? Change his appearance and attitude just to get into bed with her. But spoilers, it’s still Stiffler which means he’ll do something so infantile, so disgusting that anything he does will come back to kick his ass and leave him a pathetic broken pile of garbage with no hope whatsoever and I will have NO sympathy for him WHATSOEVER! As a matter of fact Stiffler weasels his way into the Wedding even further as Jim and Michelle see what he’s doing around Cadence and Michelle’s family and if Michelle isn’t happy, even though they had plenty already, it means that Jim ain’t getting any on the honey (Singing): Moon! (Talking): As the two give him the only chance he’ll get. Stiffler and Jim continue the dance lessons and they talk about of all things shaving the hair down there for that optimum effect. Meanwhile the battle for Cadence continues as Stiffler tries to up the intelligence and Finch goes to the bottom of the barrel! There are not enough pillows for me to scream into for how STUPID this is that it works in Finch’s favor! Meanwhile the Pre-Wedding jitters hit Jim, just as Kevin, Finch and Stiffler have Jim’s Bachelor Party when Michelle parents come in unexpectantly with Jim not that far away because they made a turkey dinner for Michelle’s Family and Jim! (Cut to the “UHF” audio clip of Gedde Watanabe shouting “STUPID! YOU’RE SO STUPID!” at a still of Kevin, Finch and Stiffler! Cut to the movie as James continues his voiceover) Bear hides in plain sight as a part of the help around here. Meanwhile the strippers decide to play hide the anal beads. I’m just glad this was made in 2003 and not when Jared Leto was “The Joker”. The maid stripper comes out as a maid and Stiffler says that all of this was his idea and it went wrong. Surprisingly Michelle’s parents forgive the whole gang! I now present this image! (Show clip of Alec Baldwin in “30 Rock” as he pours a drink with the words “This drink is for all those who are in pain right now from watching this movie” over the clip! Cut to the movie as James does his voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Now the gang head upstate as the hijinks continue and preparations for the wedding intensify and tensions are ramped up big time and as someone whose seen this happen twice already with my brother marrying my sister in law and my sister getting married to my brother in law, I’ve seen people in my family crack like eggs! And in the case of Stiffler it means waiting for a dog to crap just to get the Ring Michelle’s mom entrusted to Stiffler and Jim’s grandmother not approving of Michelle because she’s not Kashrut! While that goes on, Jim decides to clean himself, down there and the results are a cake that no one can ever eat! Meanwhile Cadence discovers the real Stiffler after Stiffler ruins the floral arrangement by shutting off the power to the refrigerators to get a bottle of champagne to get Cadence liquored up then bang her like a drum. Pissed off at that, Cadence tells Stiffler to drop dead while Jim and Michelle boots him out of the wedding! Then in a moment nobody watching this movie would expect, Character development for Steven Stiffler as he grabs the florist and the entire football team that he was coaching as a job to recreate the floral arrangements. He even makes Jim’s grandmother forget certain things like how much she doesn’t care for Michelle by… (Show clip of Stiffler and Jim’s Grandmother. Cut to James physically as he  looks disturbed to the point of total disgust , takes off his glasses and then the sound of “The Crying Game” plays as James runs out of the room, Julia Alexa Miller sees it, shouts “Oh Mein Gott!” and follows James. As The song plays James and Julia collectively toss their cookies, Brush their teeth with violent vigor, Stick clean plungers on their faces, toss their cookies then toss their clothes and every single “American Pie” movie in a barrel filled with a flammable liquid then console themselves in a fetal embrace in the same bathtub as both shout and cry “NO! NO!”. Cut to the movie as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
So after…. (shudders) Jim thanks Kevin, Finch and even Stiffler for all they’ve done. Finally, after what feels like an eternity of mishaps, escapades, and all sorts of disgusting things that’d make Tom Green heave his regurgitated lunch, Jim Levenstein and Michelle Flaherty exchange vows and make it legal. As everyone celebrates cue Stiffler’s mom to come by just to give Finch more of a complex problem and the movie ends with the two of them in a bathtub for two. Jesus Christ forgive me for what I just saw! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
Because for as much as I wanted to enjoy this one, Yeah, this was just a rough slice of pie to sit through. (Cut to clips of “American Wedding” as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover):
Now don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad film, it was just a hard one to sit through one time. The acting is good, the story moves at a fair pace and it felt like a natural ending point for these movies. But the gross out humor took me out of the movie and lest I forget (shudders). Quite honestly, if you enjoyed this one, L’Chaim! But this was just one slice of pie that left a bad taste in the mouth! (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA:
And to save myself some time, next week four mini reviews of the Straight-To-DVD fare! I’m James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to comfort Alex after what she’s been through!

Bad Romance: Is The Fifty Shades Of Grey series secretly smart?

(An eye is looking around trying to discover what is going on until an audible scream is heard. Before cutting to Team TLOTA as Olivia Horvath brandishes a Minigun, Paulo Fonseca has twin gold plated desert eagles, Rebecca Yaun has 50 Sai Daggers, Nick Yaun has a Recurve Bow and a quiver full of weaponized arrows, Eric Kurtzke has a Katana, John Santos has a Semi Auto 30-06 Rifle, Mike Santos has axes of all size, Renee Miller has a sword, Eliza Dushku is brandishing ten Kunai & Traci Hines has a Semi-Auto 12 Gauge Shotgun with deer slugs before cutting to see “Cupid” played by Ed Champion strapped to a wall screaming before cutting to see everyone walking in slow motion either firing or throwing their weapons forwards in a straight line towards “Cupid” as the scene cuts to see “Cupid” Screaming as they either do very little damage or miss entirely before Olivia, Paulo, Rebecca, Eric & John move to their right and Mike, Renee, Eliza & Traci to their left as James Faraci The Last Of The Americans is seen in the center as he is brandishing a Rocket Launcher before cutting to “Cupid” with a look on his face that screams “DIAPERS TO BE DARKENED” before cutting to James firing the Rocket Launcher and the Rocket locks onto “Cupid” before cutting to everyone turning their back as the explosion engulfs the back wall and everyone has a look on their face that shows they’re not a happy bunch and the words “Bad Romance” is Stamped in Steel as 4:11-4:54 of Bad Romance plays in the background throughout the entire intro before cutting to James in his office)

TLOTA: I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and the views that I'm about to express are that of my own and some of yours. We're all aware of the Fifty Shades Of Grey books and the first movie that happened two years ago and the next movie coming out in a few weeks and next year the finale of this movie series that are a step below Z-Grade Soft Core Adult Movies. (Cut to clips of the first movie based on these books and clips from the "Fifty Shades Darker" trailer as James does a voiceover)

TLOTA (Voiceover): And yes, I WHOLLY AGREE with The Nostalgia Kid and every Internet reviewer who despise these as the Soft Core Schlock. But as I checked out the books and the clips from the first movie, I noticed certain themes, motifs and even certain truths that are prevalent in our society. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: So before I see even ONE angry mob listen to why I ask this question Is "The Fifty Shades Of Grey" series secretly smarter than we give it credit for? (Cut to clips of the first movie based on these books and clips from the "Fifty Shades Darker" trailer as James does a voiceover)



TLOTA (Voiceover): Well I won't say it's on the same level as say something from Stephen Hawkins or anyone that same level. But I will say that it's not as dumb as some make it out to be. Creepy as ALL Get out but what do you expect when Fifty Shades Of Grey's source material is a adult romantic Twilight fanfic! That's right, the source behind Fifty Shades of Grey is a Twilight Fanfic! So I know it's good! Oy Vey! But regardless is the romance between Christian Grey & Anastasia Steele better or worse than the one between Bella & Edward. Well in The Twilight books Edward actually didn't want anything to do with Bella in the beginning it was through circumstance and bad decisions on Bella's part that made Edward slowly fall for Bella and conversely Bella was not interested in Edward in the beginning and it was because Edward was basically doing everything to keep her safe from harm that she doesn't do anything to harm Edward's family that she slowly begins not only to empower herself but discovers her emotional attachment to Edward was more than just some little crush. There was something there that the two could draw strength from each other. The romance between Anastasia and Christian on the other hand is very much like a hunter after his prey. But in a weird way it's even more realistic to how things may come to be. Christian has an agreement in order for him to be in bed doing the "In Bed Tango" with Anastasia whenever he wants and to a degree it's a little too realistic in some way it feels as if we NEED to have a legally binding contract just to go on a date in the first place. But for the sake of legal authenticity I did research and asked a lawyer to see if this contract has any legal standing ANYWHERE and I can conclusively say that it is NOT worth the paper it is written on. But I do understand Christian Grey's mentality on why he would even suggest it. He thinks romance and the in-bed tango is no different than a business deal and yeah his own backstory as a character makes me understand why he's the way he is, doesn't make him a good character but I understand the mentality of Christian. As for the intensity of adult themes of Fifty Shades Of Grey I would have to say yeah it is so close to being a Z-Grade Stag Film that it's not even funny. But that's because I know I'd never force myself onto a woman or even go as far as Christian goes when he wants Anastasia. However I do know that there are groups who are into that type of stuff and I won't judge them, if it's what they like then that is how they want to live their lives. Do I agree with their way of thinking when it comes to what arouses them?  No. Though it does take different strokes to move this rock. Will I talk to them socially without prejudice? Definitely. I don't judge people for what they do in their private life. If they think I'd be into certain things like say certain adult things, well I'm not a prude but I would like to think if I say no they know better and let me be and I think that's where it is smarter than it's source material. If it has attracted people into some of the darker and more twisted views of romance well I'd probably like to think it was in them already and this just made them feel as if they were as normal as anyone else. So it is smart but not as secretly smart as I thought it was. But it is smart in a certain way we can't think of it being. Do I recommend the books and/or movies? Hell No! Will I ever review them? I maybe crazy, but I'm not that far gone! All I can tell you is if you are into this and you've found something to like, then good for you. Me I'll try to enjoy the more realistic aspects of romance. If I'm ever in a relationship with a woman. (Cut to James physically)

TLOTA: And now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to get myself ready to deal with possibly my greatest assault on my intelligence ever. I'm James Faraci The Last Of The Americans and that's my opinion!

(Scene changes to James carrying three full totes)

TLOTA: Ah nothing better than moving into a new work place so you can get work done without getting disturbed at all plus this place has a fully furnished bathroom and kitchen, it has Cable TV, Wi-Fi internet. If I ever decide to move out of my place, this will be the perfect Bachelor Pad.

Lea Michele: Correction, it’ll be OUR place because I’d like to move in with you.

Darren Criss: Just wish you’d give us more of your stuff instead of one tote per person.

Naya Rivera: Hey James, I thought I saw two other people moving stuff in.

TLOTA (Audio only): You did! (Cut to James walking out the backroom with two other people)

TLOTA: Paulo & Rebecca Fonseca say hello to Lea Michele, Darren Criss, Naya Rivera, Chris Colfer, Jane Lynch & Chris Lee Moore alias “The Rowdy Reviewer”.

Rowdy: Feel free to call me “Rowdy”.

Paulo: A pleasure to meet you guys.

Rebecca: I’ve heard of most of you guys but “Rowdy” is it? (Rowdy nods his head to say yes.) I’ve just heard of you now. Who are you?

Rowdy: I host an internet review series called “TV Trash” and I already talked about "Brickleberry", "South Park", "Family Guy", “The E Network” & “Reality Television” already.

Rebecca: Okay.

Chris Colfer: So how did you guys meet?

Paulo: Rebecca’s my sister and we met James in both Church and school and he’s been a casual acquaintance of ours and he asked us to help him in any function with his reviews or anything he needs and we’re more than willing to help him out. (Cut to TLOTA Staring at the audience)

TLOTA: Everybody get that? (TLOTA then turns to everyone in the room) Okay guys, kickback, watch some TV, play a game or pop in a Blu-Ray or DVD while I put everything in place and set up a final security protocol with ORAC. (Cut to everyone else sitting down and relaxing on a couch)

Jane Lynch: So now what?

Rowdy: Well, it is October. Why don’t you guys find a scary movie while I make some popcorn?

Paulo: Sounds good (Everyone else agrees with a yeah or a sure and Lea turns on the television and scene cuts to the screen on the TV as The Maven Of The Eventide appears.)

Maven Of The Eventide: Hello James, it’s time to pay your penance once again. (Cut to everyone on the couch.)

Darren: Oh hey, a sequel to one of those cheesy Sci-fi movies you see on the Syfy channel.

Jane Lynch: You really want real sci-fi cheese check out the “Chiller” channel, imagine the Syfy channel except with lower level Z-Grade scary movies. (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide.)

Maven Of The Eventide: Wait, where’s James? I was sure he was here. (Cut to everyone on the couch as Rowdy comes back with a bowl of popcorn.)

Rowdy: Hey everybody, what you watchin’?

Paulo: A cheesy sci-fi sequel to one of those movies on the Syfy channel.

Rebecca: From what I gather this woman is on the hunt for someone named James and instead of James having the cojones to face her el pollo bastarda sent his minions to get her. (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide.)

Maven Of The Eventide: Is that what you guys are? James’s Minions? (Cut to The couch)

Rowdy: I know that voice. (Turns to face the television) Maven! (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide.)

Maven Of The Eventide: I know of you too, you’re the associate of James. (Cut to The couch)

Rowdy: I’ll call for him. (Door opens)

TLOTA (Audio only): For who? (James walks over to the couch as Rowdy points to the TV as James turns to the screen at the 0:00 mark of the Ironside theme from “Kill Bill” is heard then the scene cuts between James & The Maven as the Ironside theme from “Kill Bill” 0:01-0:07 mark is heard. At the 0:07 mark the image of The Maven Of The Eventide comes closer to The Maven. At the 0:08 mark the image of James being shocked is pulled closer to him then cuts to The Maven as the last few seconds are heard as The Maven speaks.)

Maven Of The Eventide: Hello James, you know what time it is! (Cut to James and everyone on the couch with James groaning.)

TLOTA: Sorry to have dragged all of you into this but guys say hello to “The Maven Of The Eventide” (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide.)

Maven Of The Eventide (Sounding like a female Bela Lugosi): Good evening, I am The Maven Of The Eventide and it is time once again for me to punish James Faraci The Last Of The Americans for liking “The Twilight Saga”. (Cut to everyone on the couch looking at James.)

TLOTA: What? (Cut to footage from the movies from “The Twilight Saga” while James does a voice over)

TLOTA (V.O.): Okay, let me clarify something. The fact that I like “The Twilight Saga” doesn’t mean I think it’s bulletproof nor do I think it’s the best set of Vampire movies ever. (Cut to James & everyone else on the couch.)

TLOTA: As a matter of fact, I can name 13 vampire movies that are without question better than “The Twilight Saga”. (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: You mean to tell me that you’re counting down and reviewing thirteen vampire movies better “The Twilight Saga”?  “Dark Shadows” by Tim Burton is a better movie than all five of “The Twilight Saga”. (Cut to James & everyone else on the couch.)

TLOTA: I get it but that movie isn’t on the list.

Others on the Couch: What list?

TLOTA: The top thirteen Vampire films better than “The Twilight Saga”

Rebecca: Why thirteen?

Rowdy: Because while The Nostalgia Critic will go one step from the normal countdown list. James is going to go two steps beyond The Nostalgia Critic’s one in order to appease The Maven Of The Eventide.

Lea Michele: Time out, this Maven Of The Eventide, where is she now?

Rowdy: Looking at us. Don’t ask how it works.

TLOTA: So let’s check out the Thirteen Vampire movies better than “The Twilight Saga”

Rebecca: Who’s the Nostalgia Critic?

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background then the title of “The Top 13 Vampire movies better than “The Twilight Saga” then cuts the scene of the woods as the aforementioned song plays while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 13

13) “Once Bitten”

(Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Never heard of it. (Cut to James doing a voice over to the footage.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Well you should know about some of the actors in this one. Lauren Hutton, Cleavon Little, Megan Mullally, JIM CARREY!

Maven Of The Eventide (V.O.): Jim Carrey in a vampire film? And you think it’s better because?

TLOTA (V.O.): Because Maven like many Vampire Movies it took liberties with Vampirism and it worked to the advantage of the project and while yes by today’s standards it is a cheesy horror comedy if “MST3K” were still on the air would shred to shreds but still with a cast that good even Joel & The Bots would cut it some slack and besides what other vampire movie can say it helped kick start Jim Carrey’s career? (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Got me there.

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 12

12) “Tales From The Crypt Presents: Bordello Of Blood”

TLOTA (V.O.): While it may be cheesy and campy, it’s got a charm all its own and besides for guys like me it’s just one of those movies that is custom made to be better than “The Twilight Saga” because it is made so tongue in cheek and so crazy and the cast is amazing especially when you have Dennis Miller, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart, Chris Sarandon who was in the Original “Fright Night” and Corey Feldman who’ll be in another movie on this list. (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide and then everyone else on the couch saying “The Lost Boys” in unison)

TLOTA: I’m aware what the title of the movie is. But the point is it’s a vampire movie, it doesn’t have any of the flaws of “The Twilight Saga” and is immensely more entertaining than “The Twilight Saga”

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 11

11) The “Underworld” movies

(Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Wait a second, I reviewed a couple of these movies. (Cut to James & everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: And do you think that those movies are better than “The Twilight Saga”? Because I do. (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Me too (Cut to footage of the “Underworld” movies with the Maven Of The Eventide doing a voiceover)

Maven Of The Eventide (V.O.): And unlike “The Twilight Saga” the “Underworld” movies take liberties in the mythos that work in favor of making the Vampires stronger instead of wussy emos.

TLOTA (V.O.): And to the credit of these movies they did handle the conflict between Werewolves & Vampires a BILLION FOLD TIMES better than “The Twilight Saga” and tell me the romance between Selene played by Kate Beckinsale & Michael Corvin played by Scott Speeedman isn’t more human than the chemistry between Edward & Bella. (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Touche

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 10

10) Wes Cravens’ “Vampire in Brooklyn” (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Wait a second The horrendous Vampire movie with Eddie Murphy? (Cut to TLOTA & Everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: BINGO! (Cut to footage of “Vampire In Brooklyn” while James does a Voice Over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): And the reason why I say this movie is better than “The Twilight Saga” is because they did have a vampire played by Murphy who is vicious and able to be romantic without acting an ounce like Edward from “The Twilight Saga” and let’s face it this movie is what lead Eddie Murphy to doing “The Nutty Professor” and started his second wind which he has since squandered. (Cut to “The Maven Of The Eventide”)

Maven Of The Eventide: I can’t argue with the fact that A) This movie is better than “The Twilight Saga” & B) You’re right about Eddie Murphy and his squandered second wind so... lets move on. (Cut to TLOTA & Everyone else on the couch.)

TLOTA: My thoughts exactly

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 9

9) “Interview With The Vampire”

TLOTA (V.O.): While the Maven has Reviewed this and while I agree with her thoughts on this movie. I kinda felt that the cast including Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Antonio Banderas and Kirsten Dunst were overdoing it a bit. (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide looking as if daggers were to come out of her eyes then cut to everyone else looking at James.)

TLOTA: Didn’t mean I didn’t think “Interview With The Vampire” was not better than “The Twilight Saga”. As a matter of fact it’s a hundred times better than “The Twilight Saga” because of it. LET’S MOVE ON!

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 8

8) “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Who knew that the 16th president was the steampunk male version of “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” because the rail-splitter, while trying to keep The United States for a lack of a better term United, was hacking and staking Vampires and for the most part, I found it more entertaining than “The Twilight Saga” (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Speaking of Buffy will she make an appearance in this list. (Cut to James and everyone else on the couch.)

Rowdy: Well let’s see does Sarah Michelle Gellar have restraining order on both me & The Blockbuster Buster stay at least 5000 miles away from her and her family.(Everyone else scoots away from Rowdy slightly) WHAT?

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 7

7) “The Dark Crystal” (Cut to The Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Wait a second, The Dark Crystal is a vampire movie? (Cut to footage of the movie while James does a voice over)

TLOTA (V.O): Well not in the usual sense but yeah, it’s a movie about vampires in another dimension with Jim Henson & Frank Oz in the director’s chair. I saw more creativity, more imagination more of what made Jim Henson’s work memorable in “The Dark Crystal” than there was in the entirety of “The Twilight Saga”.

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 6

6) “John Carpenter’s Vampires” (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): The man behind such classics as “Escape from New York”, “The Thing”, “Halloween”, “They Live”, “The Fog”, “Assault on Precinct 13”, “Big Trouble in Little China” and a numerous other great cult classics created this action romp with James Woods as a leader of a group of Vampire Hunters with a papal sanction by The Vatican and the Vampires are a lot more impressive with their plot than all the movies in “The Twilight Saga” (Audio is interrupted as infant cries and scene cuts to “The Maven Of The Eventide” as Paw runs in with their son.)

Paw: Hey Pookie, could you do me a favor and help me clean up Grey?

Maven Of The Eventide: Okay. Say Can we take a break? (Cut to TLOTA and everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: Sounds fine to me besides it’ll give me time to explain what is up with you & Paw and the baby.

Rebecca Fonseca: And maybe someone can explain who in the world the “Nostalgia Critic” is?!

(0:36-end mark from the theme from the final season of American Gladiators original run play the camera moves back to see James on top of the slab with the words “The Last Of The Americans” on it act as the commercial break intro and return act to the review then cut to The “Maven Of The Eventide”)

Maven Of The Eventide: So we’re back, James are you there? (Cut to James and everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: And that’s the deal with Paw, The Maven Of The Eventide and the baby and who the “Nostalgia Critic” is Rebecca.

Rebecca: Okay.  (Audio of Maven coughing.)

TLOTA: Oh hey let’s get back to work guys!

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 5

5) “The Lost Boys” (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Proof positive that a blind dog with a missing leg named “Lucky” can find not just a duck shot down in Duck Hunting but a female dog to mate with. Joel Schumacher aka the guy who made “Batman & Robin”…

Maven Of The Eventide (V.O.): As well as “Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom Of The Opera”

TLOTA (V.O.): I’m aware of that but this was for me THE first vampire film I ever saw and what I can say is this movie was awesome. I loved the characters, the setting, the music, the story, the cast, EVERY Little thing is one trillion times done better than “The Twilight Saga” even the ending has an awesome twist.

Grandpa: One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn Vampires. (Cut to the clip of David being killed by Michael.)

TLOTA (V.O.): What else can be said? If “The Twilight Saga” took this route it wouldn’t have been so ridiculed but the fact remains that for me, this remains one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 4

4) The “Blade Trilogy (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): While The Maven Of The Eventide touched base on what it did for Vampire Films it also became the only salvation for Wesley Snipes until he shot himself in the foot while making the third film. But regardless these movies are awesome in their own rights for my own reasons. The first one did a great job telling Blade’s origins and Blade II which under the direction of Guillermo Del Toro and for me the final one registers as guilty pleasure for me the movies were great it gave a shot in the arm to not only Vampire films but Comic Book Movies as well AND Yes it is a million times better than “The Twilight Saga”

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 3

3) “From Dusk Till Dawn” (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Robert Rodriguez before he became known for the “Spy Kids” franchise made one of the most insanely great vampire movies ever with Salma Hayek as the Queen of The Vampires and putting George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino in the movie as Anti-Heroes instead of being the stoic guys with the answers was a clever touch and while The Maven Of The Eventide and The Angry Video Game Nerd have touched on this movie after all is said and done this kick ass vampire film is a hundred times better than “The Twilight Saga”

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Number 2

2) “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” (Cut to Footage of the movie while James does a Voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): While yes I’m aware that 20th Century Fox did mess with Joss Whedon’s movie, it has a charm that seems to transcend the zeitgeist of what the early 1990’s were all about and while this movie is seen as inferior to the TV series. I find it to be really amazing entertaining despite its flaws and it’s so better than “The Twilight Saga” words can’t say anything. (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Did you forget that I reviewed it? (Cut to James and everyone else on the couch)

TLOTA: No and I know everyone here and I know you and everyone else here know what the number one movie is but…. (Everyone else says “Dracula”) I wasn’t finished. Which version of the character? (Show clips of different actors playing Dracula while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Oh there have been so many iterations some coming off more demonic and some more suave and more seductive then there was the comedic version played by the late Leslie Nielsen and a new version of the tale of Dracula coming soon but for me there is only one version that is THE definitive Dracula and for me…

(Cut to a scene of the woods as different vampire movie franchises as “River Flows In You” aka Bella’s Lullaby plays in the background while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): THE number one Vampire movie Better than “The Twilight Saga” is….

1) “Dracula” (1931) (Show footage of Dracula (1931) while James does a voice over)

TLOTA (V.O.): For me the Bela Lugosi version is the one vampire film if I had to choose between watching this version of “Dracula” or “The Twilight Saga” I’m choosing the 1931 Dracula every time. Bela Lugosi sacrificed so much to play the role that made him & Dracula Iconic and if you haven’t seen “The Blockbuster Buster”’s video at the Knott House Museum on the subject of the movie of Dracula, SEE IT and get Dracula it is far, far superior than “The Twilight Saga”.  (Cut to James and everyone else on the couch.)

TLOTA: So those are the thirteen Vampire movies that are better than “The Twilight Saga” but do I believe that without these better films there would be no “Twilight Saga”? (Cut to different clips of movies about Vampires while James does a voice over.)

TLOTA (V.O.): Well to be honest, were it not for “The Twilight Saga” I don’t think people would be thinking of the thirteen of the movies I listed as better Vampire movies were it not for “The Twilight Saga” because let’s face it some of these movies are classic and some of these for me in comparison are better but not by much when it comes to “The Twilight Saga” but what “The Twilight Saga” de-evolved into it made people look for something better. (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Wait, Just remind me, which of “The Twilight Saga” movies did you really dislike the most. (Cut to James and everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: Breaking Dawn: Part 2, Why? (Cut to Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Well, I know you don’t want to be stuck with me annually so the way I see it. Review “Breaking Dawn: Part 2” of “The Twilight Saga” and we’ll be square. (Cut to James and everyone on the couch)

TLOTA: Maybe next year. See you then. (Cut to the TV screen with the Maven Of The Eventide)

Maven Of The Eventide: Very Well then, Bye Bye! (Scene statics and then becomes the party scene in “Hocus Pocus” then cuts to James and Everyone else on the couch)

TLOTA: Ooh! Awesome, Hey Rowdy you still got that popcorn?

Rowdy: Yep!  (Everyone else says “sweet” and smiles and enjoys the movie and popcorn.)

TLOTA: Thanks for staying tonight.

Lea Michele: No Problem. Hmm, it’s so weird, last year around this time you and I were planning to get together for a Halloween Karaoke party and now here we are together for a quiet night together while everyone else is planning the finale of “GLEE” and our last wrap party, you’ll be there, right?

TLOTA: Yeah, I’ll be there.

Lea Michele: You sound a little down in the mouth. Everything all right?

TLOTA: As long as you and I can enjoy our time together, everything is fantastic. (James starts to kiss Lea’s neck as Lea goes for the side of James’ face and James’ hand feels around Lea’s right upper thigh and finds two bumps on the center of the thigh and James sniffs her.) Hmm, you smell different. New perfume?

Lea Michele: Actually, it’s sunblock.

TLOTA: EH? (Lea’s face morphs into a vampire like on “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” TV Series and its spinoff “Angel” as camera cuts to James screaming mouth then scene cuts to James laying on the couch in his studio.)

TLOTA: Wow, what a nightmare. (Paulo and Rebecca walk in through the back room.)

Paulo: Hey James, rough night?

TLOTA: To say the least.

Rebecca: Hey James, what’s that on the table? (Rebecca picks up envelope hands it to James and James reads it to himself.)

TLOTA: Hey guys get ready for a Halloween party with the cast of “GLEE”!

Rebecca: What’s the theme?

TLOTA: End of The world.

Paulo & Rebecca: Groovy!
