I loved the gag where she's looking at pictures of a dude who has seen The Ring video and his face is all warped and then she meets him and it's just his face. It's a shame Scary Movie 2 & 3 get lumped in with the whole "Movie Movie" lot. 4 though. All I rememver from 4 was giant IPods on legs.

Not Another Teen Movie is another great parody film that gets lumped in with the others a lot. It's loving hilarious, imminently quotable, and there's a lot of great details that most people miss on the first viewing.

Yeah, Scary Movie 3 was the last good one, and I agree with Rough Lobster that Not Another Teen Movie was pretty great too. Everything since then has pretty much sucked, though I'm told A Haunted House is actually pretty good? Haven't seen it, wouldn't know.

Also my favorite thing in Scary Movie 3 is the scene where they make fun of the alien sighting newscast from Signs:

The way he walks across the field was always funny to me. I am a child, I guess.

I also really like the bit in the Ring video where the guy sits on the spinning upside down chair and then vomits into a bucket, but I can't find that one.

The unrated version is a good reason why. Tits! Cocks! For no reason whatsoever. Looking up differences led me to this example quote

quote:

While the R-Rated show a bra and a bellybutton, the Unrated shoves a pair of breasts in the viewers face for five solid seconds.

Here's the actual intro to the unrated version

Sex Drive was hilarious, and I only ever saw the unrated version. The unrated version was great because it wasn't just tits and cocks everywhere. They had things that were almost like bloopers as part of the movie. I haven't watched the movie in years, but there was one part I kind of remember where James Marsden's character shows up to beat up the main character or something and the main guy yells "CYCLOPS!!!" when he opens the door.

As I understand, no, it's absolute garbage unless you are a massive fan of fart jokes and gay jokes.

...I could have sworn Jim Abrahams and David Zucker (the Airplane guys) were involved in the first three Scary Movies, but apparently no, they were involved in 3 and 4 with 1 and 2 completely unrelated. Zucker is writing and producing 5, but he's also got An American Carol on his resume...

I don't have as much faith in the Airplane guys as I used to, guys.

That's partially because the Movie-Movie crowd has proven multiple times that you don't need to actually be witty or the least bit expensive to make your money back. All you need are bargain-bin actors, lowbrow jokes, and LOADS of flash-in-the-pan references and you're golden.

Once again, Netflix spurs a poster version comparison.

I kind of like the basic Scrooged poster, even if Murray is playing it really big.


But I guess the region guys felt that the UK needed it made clear that this was a CHRISTMAS movie.

the bow-tie color change is what really gets me

But then someone felt that wasn't spiffed up enough.


Which is all well and good, except the Japanese version still kills it.

I bought this just the other week, and the best part is that there's a little circular sticker, you know the ones that give a little run down of the special features or whatever, and this one is just white and says BUY.

I take that back, the best part is that They Live is inside. That sticker is icing.

It's the ship, but it's just obscured to create mystery around the ship design I guess? It seems more like a teaser poster than anything else to me.

That's how warp looked in the movie. It's the ship going into warp.

The Driver is a quiet loner/mechanic/stuntman who falls in love with an unattainable woman and then brutally murders people to solve his problems. Maybe I meant "platonic ideal goon" instead of manic pixie dream guy.

Yeah, I was gonna say, haha. If the male equivalent of the manic pixie dream girl is represented by awkwardness and bouts of extreme violence, every goon would be a ladies' dream. Someone on Twitter pointed out to me that Edward Cullen from Twilight is the same kind of awkward, creepy, quiet, disturbingly violent character... so maybe you're actually onto something about Awkward Hunky Nightmare Boys being the male version of Manic Pixie Dream Girls after all. (Which is scary and sad.)

If you blur your eyes a bit, it looks like a ground-level view of a guy holding a large drink can with a long straw he's drinking out of.

God damn it, you've got to be kind.

This movie is worth watching if only for Carol Kane, and Bobcat's shotgun rampage.

Oh, and this amazing bit of dialogue:

Frank (Bill Murray): I want to see her nipples.
Network Censor: But this is a Christmas show!
Frank: Well, I'm sure Charles Dickens would have wanted to see her nipples.
Carpenter: You can barely see them nipples.
Frank: See? And these guys are really looking.

If you're talking about "equivalent" as in "what would sad, lonely loser women be into" then yes, Edward Cullen and Driver would be what those women would be into. But if we're talking about literal analogues for the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, the male equivalent would be a character like Stephane in The Science of Sleep. He'd be someone who's quirky, has seemingly no "life" outside of being a charming love interest, does dubiously-legal things like breaking into people's houses, and seems to be either "simple", bubbly or outright retarded at times.

I can't really think of many other examples because I don't watch many romantic comedies.

But back to the Drive example, there's an entire sequence where Ryan Gosling takes his neighbor and her son out for a drive through a drainage tunnel, like it's a life-affirming event. Then they sit silently and watch the sun. It has all those trappings of "X person takes Y person out to teach them how to live and love life", it just turns it on its head by making the Dream Guy a violent, unhinged sociopath.

The effect is all wrong though, as the motion lines on the poster make it look like the ship is flying backwards, away from the viewer.

I'm sure there's a good technobabble reason to explain it though!
