The Soup Puts Twilight In Historical Perspective

Did you hear about Twilight's amazing weekend? Joel McHale put Twilight-mania into perspective on Friday's The Soup. It's much better than the Twilight/Gossip Girl mashup. It gets really really funny:

Interestingly, the movie that really won this weekend was Slumdog Millionaire, which surpassed Twilight in per-screen average by 10k. More on that (amazing movie!) later...

I saw Slumdog Millionaire yesterday and it made me cry like a baby with joy. Definately my favorite movie of the year (sorry Dark Knight) and its so good to see the spirit of Frank Capra isn't dead yet. With the world the way it is, with so much pain and anger and hate and fighting we need stories like this to remind us that joy isn't a rouse or an impossibility and to inspire us. what a movie.

The 2nd block of last week's The Soup had my cry-laughing because of it's terrific use of the crazy YouTube Dog when he faked throwing to a clip from The View. Much more worthy of a post than the Twilight montage.

At first, I thought he was saying "white light! white light!" as in, i hate this movie let me die and go into the white light. Freudian slip?
