thewanlorn | 9 reseñas más. | Feb 24, 2020 | I've long been a fan of the original Movies in Fifteen Minutes blog, as well as Cleolinda's writing in general, so I sort of expected to enjoy this. That said, I was giggling almost nonstop through this book. I don't know how much I would have appreciated had I not seen all the films being condensed, but now I want to go back and re-watch all these movies just so I can then go back and appreciate the m15m versions all the more. I loved the endless footnotes and the jokes that repeated through multiple films. And like most books I really enjoyed, I have basically nothing to say about it. Pick up a copy if you can find one - it's a gem.… (más)

melydia | 9 reseñas más. | Jun 21, 2013 | If you haven’t heard of Cleolinda Jones, do yourself a favor and check out the Movies in Fifteen Minutes sitehref>. (I recommend all four parts of the Twilight Saga, personally.) This collection is no exception to her sharp wit and eye for comedy, covering ten movies between 1993-2003. My only issue is that the print version isn’t as fully linkomatic as the online parodies, so some of the jokes fly over my head. However, this collection is still one of the funniest things I have ever read.… (más)

princess-starr | 9 reseñas más. | Mar 31, 2013 | THE READER: Is late to the party
CLEOLINDA JONES: Is funny like a fox
THE READER: Will stop this at once because it’s obvious and annoying
It’s been a long, long time since I told myself ‘hey, I really must get a copy of M15M so that I can read the first Harry Potter film parody and whatallever else she’s got hidden away for paying eyes only *mutter*'. Then the book sort of fell off my reading radar. Okay, I don’t have one of those. I forgot. But when I remembered again I was right on it. And, even though it had waited around for a long time for me to get to it, it was still eye-scrinchingly funny. So, let this be a lesson to you; if you’ve forgotten to buy this book, GET ON IT.
[disclosure: for some odd reason, these things come across as very slightly more hilarious online. Maybe it’s the screencaps and links, maybe it’s the 600+ commenting fans all leaving ‘BWAHAHAHA’ messages, making it a sort of communal movie-lovers love-in, but I find it helps to hum like a gently overheating CPU while reading].
[disclosure the second: despite the sub-title ‘for people who can’t be bothered’, these things are also very slightly more hilarious if you’ve seen the films. Even once, ages ago. So you might want to check the index and weigh your ratio of seen/unseen blockbusters. Or not].… (más)
