I thought it was comedic in a way that was explicitly parodic of the original, as well as affectionate. I enjoyed it, and I was a devout Starsky fan back in the day. It felt like a variant on the franchise. Related, if not an extension.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't believe someone got paid to write this sentence in a movie review (or anywhere):
If you've seen the first 12 minutes of The FP, you know how the movie begins.
Now, I like IO9, but I do not like all of its authors. This one is particularly...pointless. But she's been asked to write a review of the Dance Dance Revolution (or whatever) movie, so she had a hard task ahead of her.
Still, she does a really lousy job.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well you can't fault her accuracy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's like the ads for John Carter that proudly proclaimed that people were saying it's the first blockbuster of the year!

Shame about the rest of the article, though.
I'm confused by the middle row of this. First off, the reason the one sticks with me is not good, and second--what movie is that? I feel like I'm missing something huge.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nice correction, ita !

We'll see if she's one of the writers that thanks you (if she even makes the correction). Seriously--do they not have red squiggly lines where they live?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm sitting here, refreshing this page from time to time, waiting for someone to answer ita !'s question, as I have the same one.
The one about the gif, not the red squiggly line.

Looking at comments on reblogs, I guess it's Percy Jackson?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Someone reblogging it complains that it shouldn't include Twilight and Percy Jackson, so maybe that's the unfamiliar one.
