that was even less funny than "something something movie"

you can fill in your own adjective, and it'll probably be true

[Acapelli]

he calls himself "the master of movie satire"

[Spinal]

Ah, so we're building off the fallacy that Michael Moore hates America. That's like soooo 2004.

[transmogrifier]

I really can't wait to go to America, just to see whether it truly is as schizophrenically weird as everything that comes out of there suggests.

[D_Davis]

Why would those people be in this movie?

Why would anyone be in this movie?

[Dead & Messed Up]

Of course, if it fails, it's because of that damned liberal Hollywood system.

[Sycophant]

Why would this movie?

[Spinal]

lol liberals hate America. Lesbians are hairy. Arabs are named Mohammed.

[Mysterious Dude]

I had no idea that David Zucker directed both Airplane! and Scary Movie 4.

I have a terrible feeling that this movie is going to be popular.

My head hurts.

[number8]

They're all outspoken Republicans.

[eternity]

I hope this movie fails so unbelievably hard.

Did he really just quote himself for his own trailer? WTF?

I noticed that, too. I guess there aren't any critics in the entire world who had anything good to say about this movie.

This is utterly disgraceful.

[Russ]

I think that was part of the "comedy".

[MadMan]

I remember when Zucker used to direct funny, good movies. That was years ago it seems. Although Scary Movie 4 was funny in a really dumb sort of way.

Also while yes Moore is a douchebag at least his movies have the following:

A)Some truth to them

B)A clear and interesting point(s)

C)They're entertaining

D)Sicko and Roger and Me are actually spot on.

And this is coming from someone is far from liberal. But I'm far from conservative. I'm the muddled middle. One of those damn swing voters. :P

same here, swingin' like my sack on a mornin' run!

This film needs a special academy award for most unused acting talent in a feature film.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is really the only one that can be argued as not being spot-on. Roger and Me, SiCKO, and Bowling for Columbine are fantastic and ring true no matter political affiliation, imo.

Roger and Me, SiCKO, and Bowling for Columbine are fantastic and ring true no matter political affiliation, imo.I think that Fahrenheit 9/11 is indeed not spot on. Bowling for Columbine is a good film, there's some interesting ideas, but at times Moore went completely off track and some of the film's thoughts were quite muddled. In there lay a really great film, and imo Moore has yet to make a truly near perfect movie. Sicko, which receives a 97/100 from me, is so far the closest he's gotten. I really loved Roger and Me though.

[transmogrifier]

It's obviously a joke. Not a funny one, but a joke nonetheless. Have you never seen a trailer for a spoof before?

[DavidSeven]

There's no reason for me to believe that he doesn't actually believe that about himself. It's not an outlandish enough claim (considering the actual success he has had in the spoof genre) to be taken as a completely farcical comment.

[Skitch]

I lol'd.

[Skitch]

My bad. I looked for a thread.

Anyone see it? I the only one?

[Boner M]

Anyone see it? I the only one?
Fuck, I hope so.

[Skitch]

Fuck, I hope so.

Why?

[Boner M]

Why?
Because it looks like comedy poison?

[Skitch]

Because it looks like comedy poison?

Ah.

[NickGlass]

I just watched Kentucky Fried Movie and I have no idea how anyone associated with that film could become so conservative. David Zucker is, indeed, insane.

Easy Rider -> Dennis Hopper voting Republican.

Listened to Zucker on Studio 360 yesterday. Why are all Republican comedians such unfunny pricks?

I've been asked [by republicans] pretty much the same of Democrat comedians. Different strokes, I guess.

I don't see a side that is solidly funny or unfunny.
