Vampires Suck (Twilight Spoof) Review Thread

[detective392]

They just released the trailer for the Twilight movie spoof Vampires Suck coming out August. Wasn't what I thought it was and had a few funny moments in the trailer.

Oh come on you knew they couldn't make such a profitable but hated franchise without someone spoofing it.

[tbizzle]

Oh god that looks bad, the shovel part was pretty funny though

[Walts Ghost]

I think some of my brain cells died while i watched this... o_o

[DetroitSportsFan]

Enough with the parodies that aren't funny.

....THEY'RE BACK.

But at least Seltzer & Friedberg have become self-aware enough not to put "Movie" in the title, that's at least a helpful step toward a cure.

Another helpful step is that--even though they're using the same strategy of putting their movie in August date to cash in on a lot of jokes they were telling back in April when they were filming it--there are surprisingly FEWER before-the-fact trailer jokes about summer movies that hadn't opened yet than there were in "Disaster Movie". (Well, we get an Alice joke, but that had already opened when they were writing it.)
Of course, this means that they have to fill in the void with more rockstar jokes, but be grateful for small miracles...The twelve steps back are never easy, and it starts with admitting a problem.

Vampires Suck...the movie. So these are the same guys who made all those movie movies? That means I won't be seeing it after all unless it gets favorable reviews.

Movie Trailer: Friedberg/Seltzer Twilight Spoof Vampires Suck, Entire Movie Leaked Online?

In February, I reported that Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, the screenwriting/directing team credited with ruining the spoof movie genre (Disaster Movie, Meet the Spartans, Epic Movie, Scary Movie series, Date Movie) were filming a new movie in Shreveport, LA under the working title “LA Art Movie”. We were the first to reveal at the time that the movie was not a spoof on the indie film genre (a la Chris Gore’s 2005 movie My Big Fat Independent Movie) but actually something spoofing Twilight and the recent Vampire trend. 20th Century Fox has finally released a trailer for Vampires Suck, which is set to hit theaters on August 18th 2010.

Also, /Film reader Garn B informs me that the entire movie has already leaked onto the bit torrent websites. While I can’t verify this claim (I’m not going to illegally download a movie to find out), I have seen references to the film on multiple Torrent sites along with screencaptures which seem to prove its existence. You would think 20th Century Fox would have learned with X-Men Origins: Wolverine to take the extra security precautions to prevent a workprint leak online, but guess not. As always, we advise anyone reading this not to illegally download the movie (and not just because it looks horrible, and it isn’t likely worth watching — even for free).
You can watch the trailer legally, and for free, embedded after the jump. I’m still not quite sure why a vampire spoof is filled with jokes about Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, the television show the Jersey Shore, and Lady Gaga. But why question the motives or logic behind Seltzer and Friedberg now?

They deserve it. I can't stand these a-holes and the fact that they make Uwe Boll look like Francis Ford Coppola is sad.

The only two funny moments of this piece of crap were shown in the trailer.

#1. "Why does everyone think that we are the Black Eyed Peas?"

#2. The team Edward/team Jacob fangirl moment with the shovel. If they made this crap a 2 hour marathon of the insanity of the fans, I might have given it an opportunity.

Should my 'internet sarcasm detector' be going off right now, or are you serious?

Yyyyyep--What, the plethora of I-hate-celebs Lady Gaga jokes wasn't your first hint?

(Well, technically they weren't the ones who started it with "Not Another Teen Movie", but the guy who did has been struggling for a break ever since.)

[ArmyOfDarknessAW]

Yay another spoof.

This. Seriously, these dudes killed the spoof genre. Actually, Scary Movie 3 and 4 might have...but still, these guys are running it straight into the ground

On the most current "Young Frankenstein" Blu PIP commentary, Mel Brooks appears saying "I've been called the inventor of the movie-parody genre, and....I'd like to apologize. "

These "parodists" are nothing but I-hate-celebs slacker trolls with a camera, and even their own peers and influences shun them.

Really?! I hadn't listened to it yet...but that makes me so sad inside
That man was the master of spoofs and comedy, and to hear that he apologized because of what these guys have done to the genre makes me die a little inside. That's awful. They need to stop! Mel Brooks shouldn't have to apologize for what he created...Damn you hollywood!

[Monolithium]

The real fun will be when the TwiHards see this and start lobbing death threats at the producers.

[perdition]

this movie got leaked online awhile ago.

[Foggy]

Did they say, "From the guys who couldn't stand to watch another Vampire movie" how many vampire movies have they been as of recent 3 and it seems like they are only spoofing those 3!
