cleolinda is an author that writes and shares parodies of popular and fun movies and television shows, as well as discussions and commentaries of books as well. She is hilarious and it is well worth reading her work, some of which I will link below.
Cleolinda's FAQ regarding her parodies and the Movie in Fifteen Minutes that she writes can be found here
The LJ community for her Movies in 15 minutes can be found here:m15m.
Some of my favorites are:
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince in Fifteen Minutes
The Pensieve
BABYFACE TOM RIDDLE: Can you only split the soul once? I mean, wouldn't seven plot points be a lot harder to track down?
SLUGHORN: Seven? My GOD, Tom, they'll have to split the last book into two movies at that rate!
BABYFACE TOM RIDDLE: But could it be done?
SLUGHORN: Well, I mean, sure, but you'd have to kill a bunch of people and round up a whole lot of plot points--
BABYFACE TOM RIDDLE: Not to worry--I have a number of famous and/or personally meaningful objects I'm planning to use.
SLUGHORN: But... won't that make it easier for your enemies to guess what they are? Instead of using, I don't know--a rusty old key and a snail you found on the sidewalk?
BABYFACE TOM RIDDLE: Yes, but, you see, we're not going to show any of the flashbacks that tell you those objects are important.
SLUGHORN: ... your genius is terrifying.
All the Twilights are hilarious, given the mockability of the source material. Here's the first one:
Twilight in Fifteen Minutes
(also linked are her recaps/commentaries of the books... totally worth it.)
Biology Class
[There's only one seat open and guess whose table it's at. NO, GUESS. Edward's even sitting in front of a taxidermy owl so it looks like he has wings sprouting from his shoulders. You know. Because he is an angel marble cupcake Adonis. And then he gets a whiff of Bella's outrageous flavor, clutches his nose, and spends the entirety of biology looking like he's going to hurl.]
BELLA: I... I have no self-esteem now.
Phantom of the Opera in Fifteen Minutes
Hannibal Rehearsals
[Judging by the costumes, Hannibal apparently crossed the Alps on several Raggedy Ann dolls after he ate all the elephants.]
LEFEVRE: These are the two new managers, Firmin Something and Andre What’s-His-Name, and this is our new patron the Vicomte de Chagny. I am leaving because this whole freakshow is giving me ulcers. Best of luck, break a leg, enjoy your phantom, au revoir!
FIRMIN: Whoa, check out the blonde with the headlights.
MADAME GIRY: Zat ees mah DOTTAIR.
FIRMIN: Oh. Well, what about the hot brunette?
MADAME GIRY: Zhe es LAIK mah dottair.
ANDRE: Hey, we’re all French, right?
FIRMIN: Last time I checked, yes.
ANDRE: Well, then why is she the only one with a French accent?
cleolinda, over on her own journal, also has several other projects going on. My favorite at the moment is her Secret Life of Dolls. You can get caught up here.
Cleolinda has written a book of parodies which can be purchased off Amazon UK here.
Now, on to the podcast. I first heard of Made of Fail (made_of_fail_pc) through cleolinda's journal. I started out listening first to the episodes she was in and quickly got hooked on Kevin, Dayna, and their guests. It's a geeky, fannish, awesome podfic and I heartily suggest it. I listen to episode 32 on a regular basis for the glory that is Cleolinda playing a game of Horrify the Twilight Noob on poor Kacie. It's truly quality, people.
