Re: Disaster Movie
From what I've heard and from what I've seen, this movie includes parodies of Enchanted, The Chipmunks, Indiana Jones, The Incredible Hulk, Hellboy, Juno, You Don’t Mess With the Zohan, Sex and the City, Hancock, Dr. Phil, Hannah Montana, Iron Man, Kung-Fu Panda, Batman, High School Musical, Amy Winehouse, The Love Guru, Speed Racer, Never Back Down, Superbad and There Will Be Blood. Now, what do all those things have in common... what unifying thread... oh yeah. None of those are disaster movies. It kills me that these guys are taking concepts with such great potential and just excreting all over them. I mean, a well-made parody of the disaster movie genre would be great! There is a lot to draw from, isn't there? Armageddon, Twister, Dante's Peak, Deep Impact, Volcano, The Day After Tomorrow, just to name a few... movies like these are begging to be made fun of. But these guys, Friedberg and Seltzer... they haven't "seen" way too many movies, like the trailer suggests. No. They've made way too many movies.
I know, I know... this rant has no place in this forum, does it? I apologize.
But it's so, so true.
