Seriously. The studios are going to keep handing them money as long as their films remain profitable. And the general population’s still going to zombie-walk to the multiplex every time one of their cinematic abortions comes out, no matter how retarded. The only thing that’s gonna stop Friedberg and Seltzer is straight-up sabotage. We need to go Anonymous/Space Monkeys on these guys. Seriously.

Can someone with even half a brain make a spoof for once?

Spoofs help to define genres. What makes a film "teen movie"? What makes it a "horror movie"? Those elements are blatantly exploited in spoof films. Tons of papers have been written on the backs of spoof films, especially within the last decade. It's a quick buck for Hollywood. No one is holding a gun to your head and saying "SEE THIS MOVIE".

Kind of funny to listen to that and read about this in the same day.

Every time i go to the theater and there are a bunch of people in front of me buying tickets to "Meet the Spartians" or "Superhero Movie" or whatever is out that weekend, i just think to myself.... "these people have the right to vote in this country?", and i get sad. But then i go home and watch the movies that they are "trying" to make fun of and i feel better...

Also torture or something, I don't know. I wonder how well these movies do outside of the US. It has to be a cultural thing, comfort in stupidity or something along those lines.
