I also haven't had a chance to read your review on this film, but I do have a couple of general curiosities for you:<BR/><BR/>1.) Why do these films feel the need to blatantly point out exactly what it is they're parodying (or attempting to parody)? In the first trailer for "Disaster Movie", some character has to point out that the person underneath a meteor is Hannah Montana by delivering this comedic gem: "Hannah Montana?" <BR/><BR/>In a later trailer for this same film, a caveman encounters a beast that looks suspiciously like Amy Winehouse... He confirms this by uttering: "Amy Winehouse?"<BR/><BR/>Why does this need to be done at all, let alone twice, in the same movie? Are people actually lauging at this BS?<BR/><BR/>2.) Why does the trailer insist that the writer/director/random-guy-who's-seen-one-of-these-movies-before is going to get me to see this crap sandwich of a movie? Every trailer for one of these "Something-Or-Other Movie" seems to think it's funny to point out that two of the sixteen writers of the previous "Something-Or-Other Film" is responsible for this one.<BR/><BR/>This does not encourage me to see this film. This only serves to lower my expectations of an already barely-there expectation of this film. [For the record, I expect this film to be a huge waste of time.]<BR/><BR/>3.) I would like to make a film entitled "Supid Pop Culture Reference Movie" that makes fun of these "Something-Or-Other Movie". Is this a grand idea or is it entirely too meta?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-2191982585938854602008-08-31T21:22:00.000-04:002008-08-31T21:22:00.000-04:00Wes Fierce: Imagine the speeches if she did.

Is anyone really crying out for a remake of this? Jesus, a half-decent spec horror script could be bought for a pretty reasonable price, why spend more buying remake rights to a beloved movie when the target audience will automatically hate it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-56331689721397654542008-08-31T18:38:00.000-04:002008-08-31T18:38:00.000-04:00In all the uproar over carl anne and her friends l...In all the uproar over carl anne and her friends litening to the soundtrack , I overlooked the most important part of this FG brief, that she survived Disaster Movie! I am picturing Stacie fleeing the theater as an urban version of Sarah running out of the cave. So maybe Stacie is still trapped in the theater? Bah, multiple endings confuse me.
