The parody movie has been around forever. However, most parody films focused on making fun of an entire genre, such as, Naked Gun or Spy Hard. In 1996, the Wayans brothers came along and made a movie entitled 'Don't be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Juice in the Hood.' The movie directly referenced other films, like 'Menace II Society' and made fun of it.
At this point these parody movies started referencing pop culture as much as they came up with unique material. Now I've been very tolerant of these movies. However, this new Vampires Suck movie or whatever the hell its called, just crossed the line. I would rather watch my bowel movements for an hour and fifteen minutes then go watch this movie. I'm having a difficult time understanding how these movies get financed, or Matthew Mcconaughey movies for that matter.
All this crap is reducing the legacy that movies like Don't be a Menace and Scary Movie established. One of my favorite movie characters of all time is in Scary Movie and that is of course Shorty. Here are some highlights of his best lines. ENJOY!
