No, that was called a joke and a play off the starting events of the game Fable. Shut up now.

Can't argue with that. Watching you die WOULD be funny.

See, I knew we'd find something to agree on. Even I would find me dying (I love me more than most other people) funnier than that trailer.

You're just sour because I was the first one to sh*t on your stupid movie review thread.

Oh, yes. That's exactly why. You got me. The one example of you poo-pooing my lame-brained idea is the only reason I decided to call you on your sorry attitude. I am a bitter douche bag who can't take a joke.

Seriously, there's a difference between voicing an opinion and insulting the opinions of others. S'all I'm saying.

*Voltron* · 01-21-2008, 09:43 PM

I saw the commercial for it today and I got so aggravated that I vomited up an alien who proceeded to fellate me while robo-ravens shot laser beams into my eyes! By watching the commercial, I felt like I was committing some unforgivable sin that God could never forgive. Now my soul's been damned to film Hell where Cinema Satan will chew on my pop-culture interests for all eternity! Meanwhile, a demon lord dressed in Herbert Hoover's flesh will run up out of no where and **** me in the ***** *** ******* off the **** with a ****** that bleeds ****** Roseanne.

I just don't know what the world has come to.

*Brodie* · 01-21-2008, 11:39 PM

I ****ing hate all of you. Seriously.

I'm glad Voltron's back though.

*Spitfire* · 01-22-2008, 12:21 AM

While seeing a trailer for this doesn't make me want to remove my vital organs in alphabetical order I do frown upon films like these being made. I know their nessiciary but how many of them have to bomb before they give up on them? The same five or so people always do them. It started with Scary Movie, which was actually funny for the time I think, and went downhill from there.

I recently tried to watch "Epic Movie" with a roommate who loves that kind of stuff but I couldn't make it all the way through. As we all know though I mainly enjoy serious movies, but I do enjoy spoofs here and there. I just don't think these are done well.

Wow, this thread is ****ing ridiculous.

Don't like it? Don't watch it. Simple ****ing solution.

I will say this, and only this to speak my peace. I would not mind these movies if they weren't so schitzophrentic, and trying to cram too much annyoing pop culture stabs as possible. They seem like nothing more than the wost Family Guy cut scenes pasted together.

This "Meet the Spartins" film looks like a bunch of failed MadTv sketches (indeed, most of the castof this film comes from the show). I wouldn't mind seeing a well crafted parody film that played like a Mad Magazine parody (I've heard great things about Walk Hard, but have yet to see it). Or at least something in the vein of the original Airplane! and Naked Gun films. Referencing multiple movies is alright, but trying to shove a film full of stabs at random movies (deserving or not) into a loose plot that looks like a poorly put together and edited C-grade sketch comedy show is not how to go.

I will say I enjoyed Scary Movie 3, and Mafia! had its moments, but we're never going to get another Spaceballs, Naked Gun... Hell, even Spy Hard has more substance (I do love Spy Hard, though- but whoever edited it did a crummy job). We're going to mainly get these slapped together collages of goofy "satires" shoved into an hour. I'm a parody nut, and even I can't stand these.

And the one thing I'm sick of is the unfunny job of throwing hip hop slang into places it doesn't belong. While everything I seen was annoying, the random "Stomp the Yard" reference in the 300 parody smacks of unfunniness that even Fozzie Bear could never reach. And another thing... who here is sick of the bad reference to Scarface, hearing every single character in everything say "Say Hello to my Little Friend" ? I sure am.

Zog the Equalizer · 01-22-2008, 07:18 PM

Okay I'd just like to say that you people need to calm down a bit. I mean its pretty obvious that I was over exaggerating for comedic effect. It should be pretty clear to a sane person that given the choice between killing myself and seeing this movie I would choose the less lethal one and let my brain cells take one for the team. All I'm saying is that this movie looks f***ing stupid and seeing would be a complete waste of those precious moments of my life.

Great idea, man. I definantly wasn't gonna see it, I just decided that since there are some people here who like real movies, I'd bring up my frustration.

I'm really sorry I made this ****in thread

Myself included my friend, but you got to learn that on the Drome if you don't swim up river with everyone else your a Grizzly Bear. Meaning all the fish hate you. I've learned to muffle my opinion or very vaguely express how I feel.

Peanut · 01-22-2008, 10:50 PM

I don't think anyone has ever had problems with your opinions, Spit. The problem is usually with the way you use blanket statements to insult 3/4 of the people in the thread.

That's a very good point, and could be why I haven't had any problems lately.

*VaughnMichael* · 01-22-2008, 11:33 PM

And on topic I guess as usual I'm the minority I really don't have a problem with these lame joke movies.
I have problems with movies like the Honeymooners.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 01-22-2008, 11:55 PM

Oh I know how to make this topic a little more convo-friendly-- A poll!

Which ticks you guys off most?:

1. Awful sequels

2. Terrible spoofs

or

3. Piss poor remakes?
