At work on Thursday two fifteen year old girls and their mothers were killing time before going to see it, and judging from their phone conversations they were meeting at least four other people. 8/21/2010 1:47:16 PM |

Scary Movie 3 is good.
also Scream and Scream 2 are almost perfect, but they are a different category.

scary movie two is horrible and i have never understood why people like it
one is fine i guess, but i've always had a problem with the fact that it is mainly spoofing a movie which is partly a spoof itself. (from what i remember?)
three is legit good. people hate on it for no reason. it is funny as fuck OK.

i have the opposite opinion. 2 spoofed a lot of movies that were big when i was growing up so i enjoyed it. it is over the top but maintains the perverse, but still silly feeling of the original.
3 was alright, but i didnt really enjoy it. i bet people like it because it is more like the spoofs of the past. less gross out and more off the wall silly if you will. its really just a preference as far as im concerned. 8/22/2010 12:50:36 PM |

Scary Movie 3 was low-brow, pretty dumb comedy. didn't like it
i don't remember the second one but i lol'd my ass off at the first. i was also pretty young when i saw it so i'm sure it wouldn't hold up today 8/22/2010 6:22:28 PM |

I think the old ones are so good because, for the most part, is that the humor doesn't derive from very specific parodies. I have no idea what film or story airplane! spoofs, but it's still hilarious. The original Naked Gun includes a bunch of references I don't get, but it's still funny.
But even if "Vampires Suck" were funny, it would have a shelf-life of about 15 minutes. An eight year old right now who sees this movie in five years will (rightfully) think that it's gibberish. Come to that, from the previews I think it's gibberish right now. I started losing touch with large sections of teenage pop culture years ago.8/23/2010 9:43:42 AM |

airplane! is a parady of several late 70's airport dramas
airport 1977 I think 8/23/2010 10:18:56 AM |

Right, OK. I knew it parodied something but obviously I've never seen any of them, and it's funny anyway. 8/23/2010 10:30:49 AM |

I always thought this was interesting:
Quote : | "The ZAZ came to the idea of spoofing airplane films when they accidentally taped the 1957 film Zero Hour!, while they were looking for commercials to spoof. Abrahams later described Zero Hour! as "... the serious version of Airplane!"." |

Mr. Joshua Swimfanfan 43948 Posts user info edit post |
why can't they make spoofs without super obvious pop culture parodies that aren't even clever, much less funny? 8/23/2010 1:35:11 PM |

For some reason I thought Spy Hard had at least one of the ZAZ guys*, but it turns out it just had Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer...
Date Movie Epic Movie Meet the Spartans Disaster Movie Vampires Suck
The only people laughing are these two laughing all the way to the bank. Excuse me while I go watch The Kentucky Fried Movie again.
*I also thought Amazon Women on the Moon was ZAZ, but it's just John Landis (who also directed Kentucky Fried). 8/23/2010 5:21:15 PM |

Not Another Teen Movie has nothing to do with Jason Friedberg and Adam Seltzer.
I like NATM, it's far better than the Epic Movie stuff, but nowhere near Airplane. 9/11/2010 2:02:01 PM |
