[[http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/ Cleolinda Jones]] is the author of [[http://community.livejournal.com/m15m/tag/parodies Movies in 15 Minutes]], which began as a series of Internet parodies and eventually led to [[http://www.amazon.com/MOVIES-FIFTEEN-MINUTES-BIGGEST-BOTHERED/dp/0575076879/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220888289&sr=8-1 a book]]. The parodies frequently engage in LampshadeHanging or subverting common tropes. She is also known for her [[http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/Twilight#Bookdiscussionentries recaps]] of the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' books and the popular MegaCrossover series, ''Fanfic/TheSecretLifeOfDolls'', [[http://cleoland.pbwiki.com/The+Secret+Life+of+Dolls which can be found online]].

!!Tropes pointed out or parodied in ''Movies in 15 Minutes'' or other writings in her Website/LiveJournal:

* ActorAllusion: [[Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Snape to Peter Pettigrew, with Bellatrix present]]: "Begone, Wormtail! Go fetch us a meat pie or something."
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Discussed in one of her ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' recaps.
* AllWomenAreLustful: During ''Troy in Fifteen Minutes'':
-->The Greeks climb out of the horse, affording the ladies in the audience a spectacular view.
-->'''WOMEN IN AUDIENCE:''' *wolf whistle SQUEEEE throw dollar bills at screen*
** ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera in Fifteen Minutes'' portrays Christine this way, having her all but pounce on Erik and even complaining ArentYouGoingToRavishMe
* AutobotsRockOut: [[Film/ThreeHundred 300's]] "Guitars Of War".
* TheElevatorFromIpanema: Happens in ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 Avengers]] in Fifteen Minutes'', in Black Widow's intro scene, where Agent Coulson is put on hold (and listens to "The Girl from Ipanema") while Black Widow kicks her "interrogators'" butts.
* EmoTeen: The Phantom is portrayed as this, with a bit of {{Jerkass}} thrown in for good measure.
* EveryoneHasStandards: In her ''Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow'' commentary, when learning that the ocean is suffering from rapid desalinization (loss of salt), she suggests resalinizing it... by dumping the world's table salt reserves into the ocean (but, y'know, make it [[BuffySpeak sciencey]]). The response she gets is "Ma'am, that idea is too stupid even for this movie".
* FemaleGaze: She points out that, despite ''Twilight'' commonly being perceived as sexist towards women, it's the ''male'' characters who wear revealing outfits. "Bell's goods" are always concealed behind several layers of clothing.
* FoxChickenGrainPuzzle: One of her ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' descriptions references it:
-->Yeah, it's like, Bella wants to be a vampire but she doesn't want to be a vampire before she's had sex as a human, and Edward doesn't want her to be a vampire but he wants to get married, but Bella doesn't want to get married unless she can be a vampire, but Edward won't have sex with her until they get married, and then you put the fox and the grain in the boat and you leave the goose back on the riverbank.
* AGoodNameForARockBand: From her commentary on Literature/MidnightSun2020 (Literature/TheTwilightSaga):
-->"HER 'OUTRAGEOUS FLAVOR' IS MAKING HIM LOSE CONTROL!... Whoever it is, Outrageous Flavor is totally opening their next concert."
-->"'It was odd how endearing her anger was. Like a furious kitten, soft and harmless, and so unaware of her own vulnerability.' I'm going to pass over the obligatory Those Wimmins Sure Are Cute When They're Mad criticism and simply note that Furious Kitten is going on tour next summer with Outrageous Flavor."
* GuiltyPleasure: Cleo describes ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' as this, with a metaphor:
-->''A lot of people are really passionate about these books. Some of them love and defend them passionately; others... well. I'm not going to defend them any more than I'm going to defend Twinkies--you go and get yourself a Twinkie when you have a very specific kind of craving [[strike:SUGARRRRR!]]. If you want gourmet pastry, or even a homemade cake, you know where to get that. If you're eating a Twinkie, you clearly know what you want and why you're eating it, and you know that it's not good to eat very many of them, but... you know... sometimes you just want one. [[strike:And then when you're done you read it all over again.]] Apparently there are people who think that Twinkies count as fine dining, but... well, live and let live, I guess.''
** Of course, during her summary of ''New Moon'':
--->''Where are my lulz? My sparkly, sparkly lulz? MY TWINKIE HAS GONE BAD. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY COULD DO THAT.''
* HollywoodHomely: Cleo makes fun of how the 2004 ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' movie gives Erik what she calls a "Sunburn O' Doom" and treats it like it was a hideous deformity. [[invoked]]
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: [[Film/HarryPotter Voldemort]] in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet Of Fire]] in Fifteen Minutes'':
-->'''Voldemort:''' I'm going to kill you, Harry Potter. Just as soon as I finish this monologue. Any day now.
* LampshadeHanging: The Dementors in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'' weren't really given much of a description beyond 'hooded and cloaked'. The movie, of course, basically turned them into [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium flying ringwraiths]], and Cleo ran with it.
-->'''SCARY SHRIVELED HAND:''' *pulls open door*\\
'''DEMENTOR:''' SHIIIIIRE…. BAAAAAGGINS….
* LittlestCancerPatient (TropeNamer)
* ManlyTears: "Raoul, how come *you* never cry when I kiss you?"
* MrFanservice: In her ''Film/TheDayAfterTomorrow'' commentary, she can't mention Sam without also mentioning how studly he is. To be fair, he's being played by a young Creator/JakeGyllenhaal.
* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: Frequent in her Twilight recaps. As she says [[http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/630150.html in the beginning of her Breaking Dawn recap,]] "Hand to God, I did not make one word of that up. [[MemeticMutation Twilight means never having to say you're kidding.]]"
** And again with ''Film/TheHappening'', in response to the line "it may be an act of God which we may never fully understand".
* OneWomanWail: She refers to it as "Our Lady of Soundtrack Sorrow".
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: She describes ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'' as "the best series starting with a teenage girl in love with a mysterious boy in her class that ended up with a teenage girl defending her growth-accelerated mutant hybrid baby from an ancient clan of evil vampires with her magical psychic shield that I ever read."
* PassThePopcorn: During her recap of ''Literature/BreakingDawn'', when they near the part where Bella realizes that Jacob has imprinted on her infant daughter:
-->''"Excuse me, I have to go make some popcorn, I'll be right back.'' [...] ''Okay, I'm back. Om nom nom."''
* {{Retirony}}: King Arthur [[LampshadeHanging lampshades it]] in ''King Arthur in Fifteen Minutes'' ("Awww, dude! Look what you went and did! Now you're totally going to have to die, so we can dispose of your body in that precise manner. It's like, a rule.") and given a CallBack-slash-ActorAllusion in ''Film/{{Clash of the Titans|2010}} in Fifteen Minutes'' ("But it is not my time to meet her yet. Unless it is, in which case I intend to go down smiling like a badass." "Well now that you've SAID THAT, it is! Didn't you learn anything from Lancelot?")
* RousingSpeech
* RunningGag: Most of her Movies in 15 Minutes will have a running joke throughout the entry. Example of a series-wide one that can be found in her Harry Potter series: [[CompressedAdaptation (This scene has been cut for time.)]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial:
** "[[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Lecter is giving his final Please Hire Me, I'm Totally Not a Fugitive Cannibal presentation.]]"
** From Troy:
-->'''Odysseus''': Hey, man, what up?\\
'''Achilles''': Nothin' much [dodge, parry, stab]. Just teaching Patroclus [dodge, parry, dodge] to fight [stab].\\
'''Odysseus''': Lookin' good there, kid. What is he, your--\\
'''Achilles''': Cousin. He's my cousin. Cousin. Totally my cousin. In conclusion: Cousin.
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments "QED, BITCHES."]]
* YourOtherLeft: in ''Film/TheMatrix''. ("Go forward! No, your ''other'' forward!!")
