I blame it on the writer's strike. I mean, maybe they had a lot of good comedy writers lined up and then they started picketing, so after that they went to the nearest grade school and had a whole classroom participate in putting together what 10 year olds think would be hilarious. Right guys?

Uhhh. the writers who wrote this are on strike, BTW. For the strike to affect a movie, the movie would have had to have been written between November to about now, meaning the film (as cheap as it looks) wouldn't have been delayed until a year from now. The only thing you can blame the strike for is the delaying (and possible cancellation of) the Justice League movie.

I hope it doesn't get cancelled.

Also, since the writers of that are indeed on strike, I guess not all Hollywood writers are deserving of that pay increase. The one thing that would be a laugh related to that movie would be the announcement that "Hollywood writers would get compensation for the DVDs and iTunes and so on...except those responsible for Meet the Spartans".

Well, I feel some are more deserving than others (especially people who work on generic tripe like "According to Jim" and "Back to you"), I want them all to get the compensation they deserve so they can actually get back to writing again. I miss Family Guy (unlike other animated sitcoms, the writers work on the show up until the last minute).

I just hope this doesn't disturb the Fraggle movie.

the difference between those listed and this spoof movie, the others have stories. MtS looks like it's all cheap shots.

Yes, but even a movie like that would need at least one month to write a script, a few months preproduction, and a couple months shooting, and a couple months in post preduction. It does look like a bunch of bad MadTv skits put sloppinly together though.

As for films and the strike, everything through Fall of this year has been finished, or in the process of being finished. It's only after then do we have a problem. But once the writers have this solved (Lord knows when that is) they'll get right back to all the scripts they were working on.
