It seems these guys are on some sort of mission to create the dumbest piece of shit movie ever made. Why do studios keep funding this shit?
Even Uwe Boll makes better movies.

Yeah it's really sad when they have to resort to spoofing trailers. As for why studios keep funding these guys, two reasons:
1. Their movies probably don't cost much to make.
2. Their movies make money for some unknown reason.

well, i don't know, of the last 3 movies, date movie and superhero movie both bombed, while meet the spartans was a moderate BO success, so maybe the American public is coming to its senses??
also, interesting stat:
Epic Movie - $86M
Date Movie - $84M
Meet the Spartans - $84M
Superhero Movie - $57M
promising, no??

As the only member of the anti-spoof patrol, I am recommending folks, stay away from this film, at least in ultimate leagues.

If you looked like this would you really have anything better to do?

So Lionsgate is dumping Clive Barker's return to cinemas (The Midnight Meat Train) into less than 100 theatres for this piece of shit?

At least Fox and Regency dropped them for a new film by James Gunn that's produced by Ben Stiller.
And I want to make a joke about Friedberg and Seltzer but I'd end up sounding anti-Semetic so I won't make it.

Just when you think their films can't get any worse...
To their credit, the latest poster is actually pretty funny.
http://www.worstpreviews.com/media.php?id=1236&image=3&place=posters&place2=poster
And that, folks, is the closest I will EVER get to seeing, or laughing at, any of Friedberg & Seltzer's films.
There isn't an instrument blunt enough to beat these assclowns with.

Unfortunately we're NEVER going to get rid of these movies because people are still paying to go see this half-baked crap.

I think these spoof movies are coming to an end pretty soon, they've been making less and less money. They all opened to Number 1, until Superhero Movie opened to Number 3.
I can't see this being higher than Number 4 OW, behind Star Wars, Tropic Thunder, Babylon AD and probably The House Bunny or maybe even Accidental Husband.

The Accidential Husband is now opening September 5th but will probably be delayed again and sent to video. The Yari Film Group is apparently in financial trouble considering the constant delays of their films (Possession, Nothing But The Truth, The Lonely Maiden, etc.).
And Banks, Superhero Movie is not part of this series. It's a spinoff of the Scary Movie series.
I could see it opening to second or third even though I'd love to see it open outside of the top ten along with College (aka National Lampoon's Superbad Ripoff That Borrows Heavily From Animal House and John Belushi's Sweater In That Movie Which Can Be Seen On Posters Of Belushi's Character In Dorm Rooms Across The World*).
Early August 29th Predictions
1.Babylon A.D.
2.Disaster Movie
3.The Longshots
4.Tropic Thunder
5.Death Race
6.Traitor
7.Star Wars: The Clone Wars
8.Pineapple Express
9.Mirrors
10.Wall-E (due to a Labor Day boost)
11.The House Bunny
12.College
*-Wertmuller-esque, eh?

I refuse to even watch the trailer for fear of brain meltage.
