So what if Amy Winehouse  dies before the film comes out? 

Also, that can't be a whole 'nother level of bad taste.  The movie itself will do that!

That is being very, very, VERY generous.

THIS "MOVIE" IS A "DISASTER" WITH NO "DISASTERS" IN IT!(**/*****):


I wasn't surprised to hear Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer a.k.a. Seltzerberg have fans.Not because people like the most juvenile jokes and don't mind home-made production values.But because they see that their movies don't pretend to be anything more.True,movies that take themselves to serious can be bad.But that doesn't mean they have to keep their efforts at minimum.Making a bad movie on purpose is like...well,doing anything bad on purpose:it's still bad.

So what is the problem with this movie?Even those fans I mentioned will be disappointed because no disaster movies were parodied.I know it doesn't sound like a big deal,but it is.It's about expectations.Most parodies are from movies a year before.Other are from movies that didn't premiere yet.That's right.They parodied trailers.Why not call it
Trailer Movie then?I'm not joking.At least it wouldn't be a lie.At first I thought these movies never get a big budget so they couldn't afford to recreate movies that rely on special effects.Do you remember the so-called TRANSFORMER in MEET THE SPARTANS?This time we get IRON-MAN and ALVIN & THE CHIPMUNKS.Too expensive to use CGI.But then I find out this somehow cost $20 million!I hope they didn't over-spent on
the biggest star of the movie:Kim Kardashian.She wasn't as bad as I expected,but still.

I know I gave it the same rating as it's 3 predecessors,but those were guilty pleasures which made me laugh a few times.This was campy.A lot of people think it's the same,but it means I laugh at how bad it is.There weren't genuine laughs.What saved it was the fact that I smiled once per scene,and also MAD TV alumni Crista Flanagan,Nicole Parker and Ike Barinholtz.Their impressions are always pleasant to watch,even in this movies.

Parodies obviously are meant to not follow the usual script writing rules.But what they do require is a plot.If we dig to much into semantics,this series of sketches is a plot.But let's put this way:if you can't describe the plot with a simple sentence(premise),or without going into details(full script),there's a plot but no story.The plots in this movies are usually the same of the movie that's the main target to parody,and then they add sub-plots from other movies.That's the easiest way to write a script,and Seltzerberg can't even do that?!

The only thing anybody needs to know about the Seltzberg duo is that they are the genital wart on the cock of American culture (Thanks Greg Giraldo for that one)

Well, I'm not attacking you for liking him. I'm just pointing out that you place him in high standards, even though he has only met those standards half way. As I said, you and Vits might consider him to be on top of his game at like 70% or 80%, but for most critics and audiences, he's more like at 40% or 50% right now.

I've never called you an idiot or moron, I just said you don't make for a reliable critic because you seem to defend one too many bad movies and your mind-set on rating movies is not the same as everyone else who posts here. We're very critical about what a good movies, and as I said, you're barely critical at all.

You're wrong with that interpretation but it's a nice theory. I'll explain my secret once and for all: When I go in seeing a bad movie (in other words, a movie with generally negative reviews/word of mouth), I set my expectations so low it would reach Hell (eh, I don't know a better metaphor). This is why when I watch these films, it ends up surpassing my super low expectations. The same goes for good films. If films are hailed as masterpieces, I set my expectations just like that: As a masterpiece. You know 2001: A Space Odyssey? I freaking hated that film. I hated, hated, hated the movie so much because it's ridiculous to see people praising a film with images that are shown with classical music in the background.
You go in with low expectations, but come out with ratings of 6 or higher? That comes across to me that you are easily taken, or you're either not seeing something that everyone else did. As for "2001", I can understand why someone wouldn't like it, it's far from the tradition sci-fi movies like "Star Wars", "Star Trek", and other space opera adventures.

But most of the times, I usually end up liking good films, although I don't consider them masterpieces. However, it's bad for your health to be so negative all of the time. It's proven if you're happy, it's good for your body so me liking 96% of every film I watch isn't such a bad thing. I'd hate to be the person who criticize every movie they see.
I'm not mad, I just don't care for the current product that Hollywood puts out, so I stay away from going to theaters.

No, I don't. When any person say their opinion, it's IMPLIED that it's their opinion. I say it if I have to but I don't say it all of the time because I do get tired saying, "in my opinion" when it's already implied.

B.H.B.,you do tend to hate and not dislike movies.You name says it all.

As for Shyamalan,he's not a masterpiece maker,but he's also not bad.He has made 2 failures,2 semi-failures,1 semi-hit,2 hits and 1 potential classic.In R.T.,he has an exact 50%,which makes him average,not bad.

Hypocrite.

To me, at least, he seems to view movies with a child-like, uncritical eye, in which all movies start at 10 and are good until they are proven to suck, and that is why he ends up giving them ratings of nothing below 6 and up. That's not how movies work and it's not how life works. Everything starts with a clean slate, in other words, movies start at 0 and they have to be proven good in order to reach that 6 or higher, and that is where MWG is flawed.

Another thing with the Razzies is how we choose what is Razzies worthy, and they usually aim for people who have past records with bad movies. I know you and MWG love, love, love, LOVE M. Night Shy, but even you have admitted, his record in filmmaking is not spotless.

I never said every film he made were masterpieces.

I know you and MWG might look at his movies with that child-like, uncritical eyes, but to us (as well as many other critics and movie goers), he's must up one time too many and is not the great talent that everyone thought he would be. I'm just saying.

I read just one part,'cuz I don't wan'na know ev'rythin'that happens.

I don't need to read it to know that is isn't worth payin'money.I never said it was.In fact,if you read my first post,you'll see that my reasons don't make me "sound" very excited.

I'm not sure when Moviewizguy said that.Maybe in another forum?Well,if he did,he's wrong.Although I sometimes disagree with the Razzies and members in certain aspects,they generally show movies considered bad.
