the really mindboggling/upsetting thing is that people actually DO go to the cinema to see these things. I think i'm right in saying that Epic Movie hit #1 in the US box office charts. ENNN-URRRRR. Joooeeey.
I guess you guys never liked the old "Hot Shots" Movies either then.
Sure it's nothing that is supposed to be super involved or sport an incredible story. It takes the piss out of a movie that took itself so very serious, that's what makes it fun - for me at least.
there's a big difference to the fresh and inventive movie spoofs like Airplane, the Big Bus, Top Secret (not so much Hot Shots, i thought that was pretty lame) to this sort of by-the-numbers quickly-churned-out-with-whatever-pop-references-are-on-the-front-page shite. A BIG bloody difference. Even the trailer made me do the opposite of a laugh (a grimace and a frantic stab to make the video go away), god only knows what the full movie would make me do ... probably hit a kid. In a wheelchair
This looks to be 2007 in comic review. I, for one, have loved these over the top idiotic spoofs. Naked Gun, Hot Shots, etc. Obviously these movies are just good for a laugh. Spending the cash to see it in the theater? Maybe...maybe not. Either way, there's no real reason to get all huffy puffy about a flick looking to make people laugh a bit. :]
For the record...I've chuckled every single time Britney breaths on the baby's head and gets kicked down the pit. I will enjoy this flick, no doubt. :]
haven't watched the trailer yet, won't seem to load...
do they make fun of tom cruise? only way i can like it if they make fun of tom cruise and is crazay religion. that would be comedy gold. man, i hope they do. tom cruise... he's so rich and wacky. laughing about it already!

yes there is. They're spending too much time making money out of stupid people, by feeding them the turds they enjoy eating for their dinner every night.
What they should be doing is spending just as much time trying to make just as much money out of people who aren't stupid. It IS possible you know, just not as simple to pull off - so they don't bother and simply service the mouth-breathing turd-gobblers 4 times a year instead.
I like spoof movies well enough. I do agree about the difference between them though. Epic movie in particular just wasn't funny to me in the slightest. I'm not sure, but it seems that this movie may have been made by the same folks. One particular series most people probably think is shit that I love for some odd reason is the scary movie franchise. Sure most of them bleed together and are forgetful, but the first scary movie is one of my favorite spoofs of all times.

from a business standpoint this is ridiculous... there are way more stupid people than not.. making movies/media for them makes you rich, guaranteed.. why do you think halo is so popular?
if i had the choice to make a dumb movie and send my kid to Harvard, or make a smart movie and send my kid to a community college, i would be making the dumb movie, and telling everyone to lick my balls, my kid goes to Harvard and i have a Ferrari, while on my yacht getting wasted on a bottle of something that costs more money than the smart movie generated at the box office.
Well if your in business to purely make money sure. If your in the business to push the envelope and find new ground then probably not. If you end up doing both, then your onto something. But in the end we are talking about spoof movies.
thats the double edge sword, people that are in charge of green lighting movies are in it to make money.. the people that make the films are the ones that want to push the envelope.. its just like games.. i cant count how many huge tittied, big gunned, robot, space marine, alien, basketball players i have made.. if it were up to me i would be making teamfortress 2 all day long.. its not up to me and when you get into a field it takes a long time to really get into a position where you can make something you actually give a shit about.

You know, one could say the same about the Games Industry these days .
Once there's too much money to be made in a certain field, it gets overrun by people with Dollar-Signs in their Eyes, and stuff just spirals downward from there. Most great Games have already been made, now its usually just rehashing, mixing and matching of stuff that has worked in the past.

So every movie ever made should be ground breaking or pushing the envelope? That's some stupid shit.
Just to clear things up, it's often the movies (and games) that follow proven formulas pay for the movies that push the envelope.
Oh I'm not saying they should be making "smart" movies to make their money. If they did that, the cinemas would be littered with even more teeth-grindingly sincere, po-faced worthy cock than there is already (and there is too much, thankyou very much Mr Eastwood)
I'm more thinking of things like jaws and lord of the rings ...proper, uncynical demographic-spanning cashcows that keep everyone happy.
Or - get this - making a properly budgeted hollywood film with christopher lee as the top-billed star. An honest to goodness Christopher lee filn. EVERYONE would go to see that, from your kids to your granparents. No, fuck off, they would. True star power is present in only one man

I just meant that the people really concerned with pushing the envelope aren't necessarily concerned with the money as the end result. Although it's a welcomed result. It wasn't meant to be a black and white blanket statement.

I don't know about that. I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent person. I'm certainly not a "mouth-breathing turd-gobbler". I plan on seeing this movie, probably just as a rental.
What's the issue with a studio making a movie in a genre that people obviously enjoy? Don't get me wrong, I like a good "ground breaking" film as much as the next guy, but come on...it's a satire flick. Doesn't mean I like ALL spoofs...Epic Movie especially was an Epic pile of shit. Besides, if all of the films out there were "serious"...who would we have to make fun of them? :]
i dont want to ruin anyones high hopes for this movie, but it's written and directed by the same guys who did epic movie and date movie, one of which's wiki reads:
Aaron Seltzer: He is a talentless hack. He is known for making horrible movies that attempt to pass themselves off as "spoofs" when in reality all they do is appeal to young pre-adolescents who think that simply having a movie referenced that they recognize equals hilarity. He and his partner Jason Friedberg must be stopped.
aye, that's sad that it was created by the same people that horribly forced epic movie and date movie upon us. still though....maybe it will be funny. I still may rent it after reading a few reviews.

I liked Hot Shots. It also made fun of one type of movie. Unfortunately the writers of this one can't find any more than 1 joke for each movie. So they string ..300.. of them together to try to make a buck. (Movies like this make me wish the writers stay on strike permanently)
The Wayans family had nothing to do with Meet the Spartans but I curse them for starting a neverending string of bad spoof comedies when they released Scary Movie. (While I'm at it I'll curse the producers of the American Pie franchise too)
I rented Epic movie and fell asleep 20 minutes into it. One of the least funny pieces of shite movies I've seen in a while.. This one looks even worse.
Although, I do love seeing britney spears plummeting down an abyss.
I had to go see this movie on opening night with my dad since it was his birthday and he wanted to see it, I literally HURT inside thinking about this movie over and over
a quick run down
made fun of:
American Idol

They should shoot everyone in the face who buys a ticket to this movie.

cracking idea that. They could run a warning flag next to the MPAA certificate - a skull or something. "You have been warned". You'd cut right down on the cretin-knacker factor that's quickly ruining the planet.
I'd run it on a lot more than lazy unfunny comedies though.
