I'm getting really sick of these parody/spoof movies Hollywood is chucking out.

I think it all started with the original Scary Movie, whos tagline was "No mercy. No shame. No sequel." It seemed like a bit of harmless fun, like most comedies. It may have spoofed a few movies but I wouldn't have expected a sequel, but one year later, it was revealed that..."they lied" (wink, wink). Then 3 and 4 came out and I thought that was it for the franchise...but noooo, theres a new one coming out this summer, why, why Wienstein and Dimension, why? And it doesn't stop there. FOX has also gotten in on the action with Date Movie, Epic Movie (hardly as epic as it sounds) and Meet The Spartins. Columbia is in on it too with Not Another Teen Movie. Even independent studios churn out total s*it like My Big Fat Independent Movie (hmmm...I don't know what Greek wedding based movie it's parodying). Now, our most recent release, Superhero Movie looks like a box office bomb worldwide. The only way the movie can recoop its losses is by DVD and BD rental and sales. Please Hollywood, stop having no shame in your movies. I want movies that are Golden Era-esque in style and substance, not just the same old s*it like this. I know, there have been rather good movies in the era we're in now, but there are so many craptacular movies (especially the comedies, with the exception of Borat and a few others), it's just insanity. This isn't just a plea for you to stop the spoof, but to settle up and fly straight. Okay, I think I ranted long enough on those topics, give me your thoughts on this.

I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THESE SPOOF FILMS TODAY AS WELL!

The only REAL great spoof films were made by Mel Brooks. I think they are all trying to steal his secret sauce and failing. It's redundant.
