OK OK, we get it already, many people are sick of vampires. They sit there hoping the fad will pass, just like they hope M. Night Shyamalan will never direct another film and Michael Cera has stopped trying to perfect awkward (Jesse Eisenberg so does it better… yes, they are different people).But did the creators of all those terrible spoof movies really have to make a film called “Vampires Suck,” hot off the heels of last year’s “Transylmania“? At least that one targeted the vampire fan specifically, but “Vampires Suck” takes a genre that should be easy to mock (like there aren’t enough vampires in pop culture?) and muddles it with jabs at “Jersey Shore,” Lady Gaga and “Alice in Wonderland.” Please connect those dots for us more than “they all were popular this year.”
Maybe if they decided to mock some things that deserved to be mocked but aren’t, people might stop sighing as spoof movie trailers pop up in theaters as well. Here are our suggestions.
Reality Television
“American Idol.” “The Real World.” “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” “Jersey Shore.” Each has managed to take a nobody and turn them into a somebody for nothing than acting stupid and being dramatic (or singing, in some cases) on television. At least “The Hills” poked fun at the very Hollywood nature of reality television in the series finale. There are so many ways someone could take this anachronism and make fun of it on a movie, we’ll let them have the fun.
Mind-Bending Films
Oh hey, so there’s this little movie that came out this year called “Inception,” you might have heard of it? Chances are that Christophe Nolan’s success with it (like he had with “Memento”) will trigger a whole new wave of unoriginal storytelling trying to copy the “Inception” winning formula, so why not get ahead of the times and start making some jokes about plot twists that are mind-blowing but don’t make sense (is he dreaming or isn’t he? Hint: that’s the point!) while they’re still funny. If you need some tips, just check out this Evil Iguana “Number 23″ spoof.
Spoof Movies
That’s right, a spoof movie about a spoof movie because, come on, after “Scary Movie 2″ they kind of jumped the shark. Too meta for you? Then you probably weren’t fit to be spoofing things to begin with.
I have to agree with this one.
