Jack and Sawyer slash goes mainstream?

Mar. 4th, 2006 at 5:26 PM

Wow. This vid was linked from Defamer.com (who've been avidly tracking all the Brokeback Mountain parodies -- they say the NY Times article on them all is the death knell of the genre, LOL.) So those happy LA bloggers are into J/S slash too. Yeah! I knew I always loved them. Here's their snippet promoting it: They Must Press The Button Every 108 Minutes Or Their Forbidden Love Will Die

This is the THIRD Jack&Sawyer Brokeback Island parody video I've seen (all at Youtube.com), but this is the most slashy, if you ask me. WOO!

It's not just us is it? When Foxy did his TRL appearance, the VJ asked him about romantic possibilities and she threw out Sawyer's name in there but he just let that one go. Still, we did get him saying Josh is "hunky" on GMA. ;D

And in BBM award news:

BBM and Ang Lee won. Heath and Michelle did not. Jake wasn't nominated at the Spirit Awards but tomorrow ... *keeps fingers crossed*

ETA: BBM in 30 Seconds (Bunny Theater)

Current Mood: bouncy

I love the added dialogue, tee hee. And now Kate's whacking Sawyer because it's really all about Jack, while Jack's pacing anxiously is just because Kate is kissing Sawyer! LOL. Ahhh, recontextualization!

I somehow missed that on TRL. :(

But I did see that GMA. :)

I guess it's getting to obvious not to see at this point. ;)

TEAM JAKE!!!!!

I've stopped watching those damn BBM parodies after seeing that really dumbass one about the guys in the office. I really want them to stop using that line "I wish I knew how to quit you".....I don't want to have BBM backlash but it's starting to get to me. Real bad. I mean, really really bad.

Woo hoo!

I actually thought the Mac one was funny - at least it was short.

And oops, forgot to link to the Bunny Theater one! (If you can stand it!)

And for me, the worst thing about the BBM parodies is they use the exact same template 'It was a secret,' etc. And (unlke most people) I really, really, really hate the score and I get so damn tired of hearing it over and over again. Those same damn notes over and over again! It was repetitive enough in the movie! That's seriously the only category I think the movie deserves to lose.

But I know what you mean. I guess it's cool that it's so much part of the zeitgeist, but the joke's getting pretty tired.

I used to love the score to BBM, but I'm just so tired of hearing it over and over again. It's like everywhere! I went into Borders and they were playing it! I turn on the TV and they're showing the commercial! GAH! It's too much! I think they're gonna give original score to John Williams....I mean, it wouldn't be too cool for him to lose when he's nominated twice in the same category...although it would be funny as hell if he did lose. Heh.

You know what else I'm so tired of besides these stupid parodies? Stupid talk shows talking about "real life Brokeback Mountain stories." OMG. Please let this die!!!!!!! Grrrr....

Certain things always get to the point where they're too much and move from being funny or cool to being annoying because some people can't just leave well enough alone.

Example: Today, my mother said "bling". I now declaire "bling" officially dead.

My dad said to me one time that he had his entertainment system "tricked out." And it was "fo' shizzle." Mind you, this is a middle age Korean man saying this. It was painfully awkward.

Oh my goodness. My dad says things like that just to see the uncomfortable look on my face, which is the worst. I wonder how parents think they can get away with saying things like that when I can't get away with saying things like that.

That was a pretty cool video! I loved the editing.

I swear, everytime I hear the BBM theme, I'm gonna think of all the parodies out there!

I know! It's been played to death. And they'll be playing it througout the Oscars too. *runs and hides* I was tired of that theme before the end of the movie, so it's definitely worn out its welcome with me long ago!

I'm just so tired of all the parodies. :( So does this mean no more gay cowboys? Heh.

The first few were funny. But I have to love all the J/S footage edited together. Guess I haven't seen a new J/S vid in ages!

I was just thinking how lucky people are whose TV OTP actually have scenes together every week! Spoiled sons of bitches! ;-D

Whew! I thought I was going crazy. I saw this one earlier and was thinking, wait, this isn't one I saw a week ago! So, there's 3? The other one I saw had Kate as Sawyer's wife, and Sarah as Jack's wife. And there was much crying. :-) What's the third one?

The first one I saw didn't really add in the women - was just some J/S longing looks, etc. It was the weakest of the three, I think, so perhaps skippable.

It was missing some nekkid Sawyer swimming footage! ;-D But yeah, there IS a lot of J/S canon footage to be mined, isn't there?

I've been asking for weeks if there was a way to download those to my computer and no one seems to know.

I really want to save them. :(

My fave was the one without dialog, just great, great J/S footage, and the BBM theme of them each being involved with women -- Sawyer with Kate, Sarah with Jack (as mentioned above). It was brilliant, I thought, and I became quite addicted to it, on youtube -- but now, it's gone! Wah! Any idea where it might have disappeared to, or why, or how to get it back? Oh well, I did enjoy it while I had it...

Hmm, no idea, sorry! I liked these last two best. The first one I saw wasn't quite as good.
