...if it was a book, I'd put it in the "The Bad" board, since it's basically fantasy parody gone wrong, but... I actually thought of this because of the "Those Lacking Spines" thread, because it made me think of how fan parody can be so much better than the kind that they do in movies. I'm almost certain that someone out there could take the overall plot of this movie and turn it into something worth watching. I'm just as certain that the people who wrote it are not such people. Most of the movie was weird, not funny. And there was too much random rap and "PG-13 necessitating" scenes put in just for the heck of it. Movies like this make Ikkin fear for the sake of humanity,

Bah, I was afraid of that. My mom tried to talk me into seeing it, but the commercials made my bad-movie-dar go on red alert. Plus, I hated the Scary Movie series, and that one is made by the same people.

And it had so much potential to be hilarious... bah. I may still see it (cheap theater) if I'm ever bored though.

I wish they'd stop stuffing things that are, as Ikkin put it, "PG-13 necessitating" into movies just for the sake of having them there. Things like that scene with the blue lady in the previews are one of the reasons I steered clear of this movie.
Well, that and it just looked like a bad movie -_-

Oh yes, I dislike PG-13 necessitating things that are blatantly just in there to give it a higher rating.

Exactly. >_< Though, this one had so much of it that it was pretty clear that they weren't just doing it for the higher rating. (I saw it while the new Bloids rules were being discussed on the NTWF, and it convinced me that "PG-13" really wasn't that good of a limit anymore. XD) It's really not necessary, though, and it tends to do nothing but make the movie worse, at least for me. ._. Why must the media have such... misplaced priorities?

(Ah, so we have Epic Movie as a catalyst then? XD Nice. Poor ultimate verb though.) I agree. I'm very easily disturbed in real life- ask katanal, she takes delight in tormenting me... And because the media wants to make money, and this works.

Why must the media have such... misplaced priorities? Hmm. I suppose this is a golden opportunity to make a crack at the movie industry attempting to put heart into their movies and ending up in proximmity of the bra region instead, but I can't think of a clever way to word that >_> ... Speaking of movies having hearts, though, it certainly worked well for PotC2... HEE. GET IT? HEARTS? AHAHAHA...yyyeah. *slinks away*

They might very well be saying "an alien." I was quoting the misheard lyrics. XD
