FX BUYS RIGHTS TO ‘TWILIGHT’ SAGA
11.24.09FX primarily caters to a male audience, but it has expanded its scope to heavyset teenage girls now that it has purchased the television rights to the Twilight saga. From The Live Feed:
FX has acquired the ad-supported TV rights to the four “Twilight” movies in a package deal with producer Summit Entertainment that also includes the indie studio’s Oscar hopeful “The Hurt Locker,” the Nicolas Cage thriller “Knowing” and actioner “Push.”
Under the pact, FX will start running last year’s “Twilight,” the first movie in the franchise, beginning in late 2011. “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”… will be available in late 2012. “Eclipse,” which is slated for a June 30 release, will have its premiere on FX in early 2013. Summit has yet to greenlight production on “Breaking Dawn,” an adaptation of the fourth book in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series.
Obviously, this story is just a grand excuse for me to debut my spin on the Internet’s finest t-shirt. It features three shirtless Taylor Lautners, and I call it Three Werewolf New Moon. Once I made it, I started disappearing into a rabbit hole of mutating memes. I had to make Lautner wear a shirt of of him shirtless, and then I had to add a well-dressed wolf to the picture, so that there was a wolf in human clothes looking down on a werewolf wearing a shirt featuring shirtless werewolves, and AHHHH SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STOP THIS. All these wolves are gonna hurt someone, and my copy of Photoshop is starting to smoke.





I have a legitimate question: Why do we not hate on the 20-to-40-something women who finger their va-jay-jays to thoughts of Taylor Lautner as we hate on guys who want to take Selena Gomez out for dinner at a Mexican restaurant? Why?!?!?!?!? Fucking society and it’s rules. Taylor Swift can statutory rape Taylor Lauter but God forbid I (wait, what?) want to take Gomez out for some tamales and salsa. Damn you America and your rules!!!!
It will not end until there’s a 3 Airwolf Moon shirt.
All this Twilight gay-ness and you couldn’t mention the bad-ass-itude of the Hurt Locker, or work in a dig on Nicholas Cage? You’re getting soft. Great shirt though.
If you make these for cats they will sell like hot cakes to Twilight fans.
I can’t find the order form for this shirt anywhere???
But where is Keyboard Cat?
I’m not sure there’s enough fabric available to make the 10 XXXXLs you’ll sell immediately.
TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM, TAYLOR, GET SOME OF THESE DREGS OF ACNE-CATTLE TO FOLLOW *YOU* AROUND FOR A WHILE!
the similarities between the FX the network and F/X the NYC based gay periodical are growing by the day…
Bachelor Frog enjoys this Meme-related post.
Someone please get the It’s Always Sunny guys working on a Twilight parody right now.
Sheesh, Matt, you should be selling this thing – you’re sitting on a gold mine.
actioner? really?
Well I guess FX has to make Dirt look good somehow.
