ThisIsTheYear 241 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 quote: Originally posted by Jackie Treehorn: Don't know his name, but the main dude in that is giving Michael Cera and Seth Rogen a run for their money in the "Let's see who can play the same character in the most movies" competition. Impossible. No one can take that crown from Cera, which is why I sarcastically dubbed him "Mr. Versatility". And it wouldn't be as bad if they didn't try to wrap him around the same freakin plot scheme on every film. Synopsis: "Shy, awkward boy finds love with a unique, different girl, who may or may not share similar interests in indie rock-themed music." Interestingly, the guy you're referring to (from Zombieland) and Michael Cera play virtually the same role in every film, except I actually think he does it a bit better.

Outside of the Naked Gun, I can't think of any I've enjoyed. I particularly can't stand the "Genre Movie" movies. I can think of some I've seen that I liked, but the "genre movies" are just ****ing terrible. A girl I knew in high school was in one of them, and I wound up getting dragged to see it as a result. I literally told people later that it was the single worst 2 hours of my life, and I wasn't exaggerating nearly as much as I should've been. I remember that I made it a point to groan as loud as I could whenever everyone else was laughing. Although to be fair: those movies don't really satire things so much as they just blitz you with references to previous, better movies. But yeah, there are GOOD spoof movies: Airplane is great, Airplane II isn't terrible, Galaxy Quest is shockingly good, Dodgeball leans a little broad, but it hits the right notes on the satire portions, any of the movies with the guys from Shaun of the Dead are good. Hot Shots is....not terrible. And I'm not sure if it counts since it's more an ironic take on a topic rather than an out and out satire, but I think The Princess Bride is one of the greatest films ever made. Edit: Oh, and duh: Everything from Guest/McKean/Shearer is golden. Sure, they never topped This is Spinal Tap!, but who the hell could have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted July 19, 2010 On the subject of spoofs, weirdly, the best spoof I've seen in years was on the new Adult Swim show "Childrens' hospital", which is a spoof of hospital shows like Grey's Anatomy, ER, and what not, and it features like, 5 minute episodes.
