Let’s face it. National Lampoon hasn’t produced anything good since may-be Christmas Vacation (and that’s debatable in most people’s minds). Well now the crew that made Animal House, and a bunch of recent bombs you wouldn’t reccognize have decided to spoof the sword-andsandal films with National Lampoon’s 301: The Legend of Awesomest Maximus Wallace Leonidas. According to Variety, “Protag is Awesomest, an out-of-shape Spartan general who fails forward on a path to greatness.” Sounds like a disaster in the making. I have an idea, why not have National Lampoon attempt something more original?
Last month we reported that Robert Moniot, the guy behind the popular internet short Pearl Harbor 2: Pearlmageddon, had gotten the greenlight from Sony to make Armageddagain: The Day Before Tomorrow, a movie that would spoof all those epic over-the-top Michael Bay-type action movies. That film sounds like it has much more potential.

I did not just read that Peter Sciretta thinks that Christmas Vacation might not be a good movie.

LOL. For the record, I LOVE Christmas Vacation. But I was just saying that I’ve met more than a couple people that didn’t, and would probably say that National Lampoon’s Vacation was the last good movie made by the comedy group.

it’s true they haven’t made a decent movie in a LONG TIME

It’s a parody… how “original” can they be?
