It’s also why they aren’t as funny or really funny at all compared to proper parody films like Airplane! and The Naked Gun.

Nope I didn’t listen to it but I’ll have to check it out! I think it’s a good point, and that’s why all these spoof movies like Meet the Spartans and Epic Movie are so damn easy to churn out.

Yeah Sean you must have listened to my podcast about “stupid comedies” where my buddy Zack talked about how they don’t write jokes in these newer parody movies (though I’m sure he’s not the only person to figure that out). Gondry and parody might make it more fun than usual I’ll look forward to a matinee of this some dreary Wednesday.

I have to admit, on some level it could be relying too much on the fact that bad acting and home-made costumes are going to be inherently funny. It’s almost like a Scary Movie-style spoof where they parody a scene from a popular movie without even writing actual jokes… they think it’s automatically funny just because it’s a reference to something everyone is familiar with. But on the other hand, this is Michel Gondry we’re talking about, so I think there’s going to be plenty of other weirdness going on to make it worthwhile.

I think the idea of this is amazing, but I have to admit the fake trailers on the (awesome) site, has me worried. I didn’t really find them funny, and I was just reminded that Jack Black is going to be hamming it up throughout the movie.
