Good list. Along with Antoine Dodson from the linked article, I also have a feeling Betty White will be mentioned in some fashion. And also someone you wouldn't expect to use Twitter will use Twitter at some point in the movie.

These movies are so awful. I have never seen an entire one of these films, but having worked at a movie theater during the time period when most of them came out, I can vouch for them all being just absolutely awful. Meet the Spartans had an American Idol ending. Ugh.

This thread though has at least brought it to my attention who is responsible for these "films", though to be honest I never really put that much thought into it. For all I knew it was some computer just spitting out parody scripts from data garnered from current events.

Vampires Suck made more money than Scott Pilgrim because Vampires Suck was marketed to a wider target audience (i.e.: morons). With all the video game references, Scott Pilgrim was extremely...nichey. Don't get me wrong, I loved Scott Pilgrim and think it sucks that it made so little money, but it at least makes sense why that happened.

Also, you know what I want to see? I want Mel Brooks to make one last parody movie before he dies, just so modern moviegoers can understand how a parody should be done. I know Mel Brooks isn't the man he once was and if he did a new movie it'd likely suck, but it would still be several billion times better than anything Friedberg and Seltzer have done.

The first Scary Movie wasn't so bad. Granted I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters, and granted I was 16 or 17 at the time, but as far as I can remember it was actually parodying horror film cliches and such, as opposed to randomly inserting YouTube videos or whatever. It wasn't anything brilliant, but it shouldn't be compared to these... things they're making now.

I tried watching Scary Movie once. I couldn't get through it because Anna Faris is a cancer upon this planet, and I despise her. Seriously, she is so irritating and there's something so repulsive about her to me. I can not stand her. I want to run her over with a frakking semi with the words SLAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE painted on the side.

Scary Movie 2 and 3 on the other hand, were somewhat watchable for me because of three people: Tim Curry, David Cross, and Leslie Neilsen. Yes, I think both movies are relatively funny for various parts. Scary Movie 2 is better than 3, but 3 does have some rare parts I can enjoy. I shudder at the thought of the fourth movie though. Actually, I've never seen 2 all the way through, nor 3. Maybe I should do this before giving favor to either one, although I'm automatically biased toward 2 because of Tim Curry.

That's the one thing about the movie that I didn't like: Scott Pilgrim is NOT a Cera-esque character in the source material. The exact opposite, really. Sometimes he becomes the soft-spoken socially awkward geek, but he's normally egotistical, loud, and boisterous. He's still a dick in the movie, but not nearly as much.

I thought Scott Pilgrim was a pretty funny and enjoyable movie. I still haven't read the comics to compare. I just felt that they took a whole bunch of different elements that I typically enjoy separately, and combined them in a pretty effective way. I particularly liked the comedic timing. It's all very punchy.

As for the Seinfeld scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElcC9ttxVxo):

Wright said the idea came from a single panel in the comics where it said “Studio Audience – Ahhh” and that gave him the idea to continue the sitcom theme into the next scene.

-from an interview (http://collider.com/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world-interview-edgar-wright-tintin-the-worlds-end/41737/)

Works for me. Personally I just viewed it as an odd, stylistic interpretation of Scott's cheerful mood.

Yeah, the whole movie is actually told within Scott's point of view. It's not really apparent until you think about the transitions from each scene to the next.

So, Comedy Central showed Disaster Movie today and out of morbid curiosity, I watched some of it.

DISASTER MOVIE had a 5 minute long High School Musical sequence, featuring random appearances of actors pretending to be Justin Timberlake and Jessica Simpson. Also someone pretending to be Ellen Page from Juno was there too. For some... reason. I am pretty sure that neither of those movies are in the disaster movie genre. And they had nothing to do with anything going on with the main characters as far as I can tell. Ugh.

It was so bad that I had to put on Star Trek Generations instead.
