Death to Spoof Movies

So...I finally watched a movie I have been anticipating for quite some time. First off, let me explain my intense love and fascination for everything "superhero". Maybe I'm a geek that way but I love movies about superheros. The X-Men movies and the Batman movies (old and new) are great. Yeah, the Spiderman movies were kind of duds in my opinion but it doesn't deter me from fully anticipating the next big new superhero movie. This included THE "Superhero Movie". Yay, I thought, making fun of superheros! Fun! Funny! Yay!

We didn't see it in the theater... Sad! ...I was eagerly waiting for it's transfer to DVD format when Justin informed me they wouldn't be getting it in at Hollywood Video... Dreams dashed again! And then they were getting it at Hollywood Video! I forgive you for aforementioned dashed dreams!

We rented it. Then we began watching. Suddenly, without warning, we were accosted with gaudy sexual inuendos, atrocious slapstick "humor," and the main focus of the movie: Spiderman. (As I said, Spiderman is the last superhero we need more movies about in this world.) What a disappointment!! I couldn't believe how much my face hurt from NOT LAUGHING. Really.

So, I decided that if someone really funny would go to Hollywood and actually make a funny, witty spoof, they would make so much money and it would be awesome. Every spoof I've ever attempted to watch were the same, no matter the topic: disgusting humor and people getting hurt. You know, running into things and such. It could be so much better. I think it would be kinda easy, too. There's not much competition out there for funny spoof movies. Maybe I'll be the one to do it! That's it, I'll be the pioneer for a new spoof movie! A spoof movie for the intellectual! Until then, death to all spoof movies.
