But That's All In The Pastiche
Happy birthday, kudzita!
A litbit for you (originally found here):
I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud
There once was a poet named Will
Who tramped his way over a hill
And was speechless for hours
Over some stupid flowers...
This was years before TV, but still.
Many people have asked, "What kind of moron actually enjoys those Scary Movie/Date Movie/Epic Movie movies?" Apparently, the answer is the me kind of moron.
I just finished my torrented copy of Epic Movie, and I laughed really hard at it. Sure, there were points when it was essentially a joke tossed in just to make the reference, but seriously, Tumnus' house as an episode of Cribs? Hermione with herpes? Darrell Hammond as Captain Jack Swallows? The entire final battle after the huge surprise turning point? Oh god. I love these things.
Now, I will say I don't own the DVDs of any of the Scary Movie series. I don't feel like they pop enough to actually get me to buy them. However, I am proud to own both 'Not Another Teen Movie' and 'My Big Fat Independent Movie,' which attain a level of comedy that 'Epic Movie' definitely reaches.
I have a very puerile sense of humor; I freely admit that. I don't laugh at an overload of fart/piss jokes, but sprinkling in a few is fine. The same goes for Fred Willard, and 'Epic Movie' managed to give me just enough to nod my head in wry amusement, then quickly kill him off so I could enjoy the rest of the film.
So rah-rah for 'Epic Movie'... I guess this means I need to buy it after all. And see 'Date Movie', I suppose. Congratulations, Alyson Hannigan, it's your lucky day.
