  • floridiot2, on 07/03/2008, -1/+87only 21...
    • 801NvizioN, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I can count 21 reasons to not see that movie on two hands.
      • FLarsen, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8Well, if you count in base 6 and let each hand represent one digit, you can count to 35.

        Math ftw.
    • macweirdo42, on 07/04/2008, -0/+8I can think of dozens of reasons - every minute of your life that you won't get back due to this film.
  • tallassrob, on 07/03/2008, -1/+119Friedberg and Seltzer need to be stopped. Who actually watches these movies?
    • ohmahgawd, on 07/04/2008, -1/+46The average idiot under 30.
    • steveoco, on 07/04/2008, -13/+29Americans
    • hauntedchippy, on 07/04/2008, -1/+25Whatever they're blackmailing the studio with, it must be good.
    • centran, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5I wonder if they truly can be blamed. Scary Movie was good. Is it just the lack of the Wayans brothers to keep these two in check?.... Or is it the fact that these movies are written and filmed super quick just so they can make a quick buck?
      They are making fun of movies that haven't even been released yet! Money grabbing hoes!
  • sion2119, on 07/03/2008, -2/+94Friedberg and Seltzer need to get a life. "Date Movie" "Epic Movie" "Meet the Spartans" and now this crap.
    • roomforpanic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+36As long as the studio knows they can produce it cheap and make a quick buck, these movies will get green lights forever.
    • Modulo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+13Friedberg and Seltzer need to get a death.
    • Forcough, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3you forgot super hero
    • bs0l, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Bad movie.

      Why can't they resist putting "movie" in almost all of their titles? No duh, it's a movie.
  • thefangedrabbit, on 07/03/2008, -1/+141They don;t realize what parody is. Parody isn't just saying things from another movie or making a pop culture reference. Airplane is a parody, hell even the first scary movie is a parody. But not this *****.
    • bmdubya, on 07/04/2008, -0/+45Best parody ever is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. We actually watched that in my high school English class when we were discussing parodies.
    • opiniastrous, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9http://dresdencodak.com/gallery/a_dinocomic_01.jpg
    • jayhawk88, on 07/04/2008, -0/+13After another 5 years of these, they'll probably just run clips from other movies trailers, and lay down a laugh track over them so the audience will think it's funny.
    • Goldbricker, on 07/04/2008, -6/+5Sums up how I feel about Family Guy mostly.
  • bman85, on 07/03/2008, -7/+29*****... these just get worse and worse too... Meet the Spartans was completely unwatchable, I literally turned it off about 10 minutes in, and i regretted even those 10 mins. Same deal with "Epic
    Movie"

    But... I did rather enjoy "Superhero Movie"... it was actually pretty good. I was surprised.
    • beautifulbeast, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9By no means is Super Hero Movie a good movie, but at least it has a script and it's "watchable".
    • monkeyboyhero, on 07/04/2008, -0/+43Well there you go - despite almost every review saying that Epic Movie was *****, you still got it and watched it. And then despite thinking that was *****, and almost every review saying that Meet the Spartans was *****, you watched that too.

      If people didn't watch the damn things, they wouldn't get made.
      • blipblipbeep, on 07/04/2008, -6/+3How do you know if you like it or not if you don't watch it?
      • monkeyboyhero, on 07/04/2008, -1/+6Because word of mouth and press reviews both said those films were execrable, and he watched one and thought it was crap, then watched another one by the same people (which was also crap), then watched ANOTHER one by the same people! Bees learn faster than that.

        I've never stuck a knife in my leg, but based on what previous similar experiences are like and what people tell me it would be like, I'm not going to do it.
      • Blandyman, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4But some people like sticking knives in their legs. How do you know you're not one of them?
      • bman85, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Don't worry i didn't purchase or rent them... thank you pirate bay :)
    • Azerael, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7What compells you to watch that *****?
    • celkin, on 07/04/2008, -1/+15Vague Genre Movie:

      • i11uminati, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3In an ideal world every Maddox post would make front page. That's not asking for much since it would only be once a year.
      • burrgrinder, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1And that for the last couple of years, he's only been taking whacks at the low hanging fruit. Oh no, Maddox really ripped apart those Vague Genre Movies, he's so edgy and original!
    • jayhawk88, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3"But... I did rather enjoy "Superhero Movie"... it was actually pretty good. I was surprised."
      You probably should go get yourself checked out by a doctor. The fact that you even watched Superhero Movie after watching Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans, let alone enjoyed it, could be a sign of possible brain damage.
    • alpha94, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4Wait, you hated the movies but you still kept renting them?
  • ghidorahnotweak, on 07/03/2008, -1/+16My brain hurts.
  • kevman459, on 07/03/2008, -0/+18This movie will be number 1 it's opening weekend. Just you wait. A new Friedberg and Seltzer fan is born every minute.
    • MysticSavage, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10"A new Friedberg and Seltzer fan is born every minute."
      If there is a better argument for abortion, I haven't heard it.
      • georgetds, on 07/04/2008, -6/+1Ha. Ha. Ha. May as well also joke about nuking random countries or stabbing random people on the street for all the humour there could be contained in an abortion joke.
  • drummerguy520, on 07/04/2008, -1/+11I'll be honest and say I enjoyed Scary Movie(I was 16 when it came out). I think what made it good was that it actually parodied scary movies. Now they have movies like Disaster Movie and Date Movie which don't really stick to the title, they throw in any random pop culture *****. Sorry, but Indiana Jones and Batman were not "disaster" movies.
    • AlistairMorgan, on 07/04/2008, -1/+1ya i know the point of the movie ,which is the most pathetic thing ever, is to take the movies you like and kill them, make them a disaster.
    • lamiaconfitor, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6You are actually investing way too much energy thinking about this. (...said the guy reading the comments.) But seriously, cant we just ignore the movie and hope it goes away?
    • Rapter09, on 07/04/2008, -2/+3Scary Movie was a good movie. A lot of people won't want to admit it, but it was enjoyable. Because it did something no other movie had really done up to that point. I think parody movies are funny, if they're well done, and they're spaced out by many many years.

      This whole part-and-parcel assembly-line production that these two douche bags have going is painful. They're churning out a new one of these every six months. Pop culture is fun to make fun of 4-5 years later when you've got a few years of comedy to draw upon and nostalgia to laugh at. Pop culture isn't funny to make fun of 30 seconds after a new fad has hit the streets like these guys are doing.
      • ATLien74, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Hadn't been done? Ever seen a Mel Brooks movie? Airplane, Spaceballs, History of the World: Part I?

    • Kelmon, on 07/04/2008, -3/+3"Sorry, but Indiana Jones and Batman were not "disaster" movies."

      Depends on your definition of disaster. Indiana Jones 4 and Batman & Robin were both pretty awful movies...
  • btschul, on 07/04/2008, -2/+851. Cast Carmen Elektra for sex appeal
    2. Say lines from other movies, but with fart and cum and dick jokes thrown in
    3. ???????
    4. Profit


    If you want some hilarious movie satire, check out www.rifftrax.com or some Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes. Don't justify this miserable ***** by going to see it.
  • thtjebus, on 07/04/2008, -10/+1but...girls with big boobs:(
    • kiiwii, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10You can see those on the internet.

      Nude!

      For free.
      • macweirdo42, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Wait... You're telling me I can use the Internet to look at free pictures of naked women? And I've been wasting all this time on digg!
  • piratearggghhh, on 07/04/2008, -0/+45How do they crank this ***** out so fast? Basically with these moves you watch the commercials and you've pretty much seen the movie.
    • Drazzim12, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1The promotional poster accomplishes the same effect.
  • SoggyPopcorn, on 07/04/2008, -1/+37 We need to kill these ***** writers.
  • Mr.Gone, on 07/04/2008, -1/+66Who the hell keeps giving these ***** money?
    • Fearles910, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10The ***** that watch the movies of course
    • lamiaconfitor, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5The government! Because a great nation deserves great art!
      jk...
    • int10h, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Must be the same ones who donate money to Uwe Boll.
  • frenchkick, on 07/04/2008, -2/+32wow...
    i hate every single person who wants to/will watch this movie
    please die and make the human race a little better
  • flux123, on 07/04/2008, -1/+19I wonder if this movie will possibly score lower on rottentomatoes.com than "Meet the Spartans".
  • solidus636, on 07/04/2008, -16/+2Kim Kardashian and Carmen Electra are two reasons to go see it....other than that......
    • DeadSkinMask, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5How will they fit Kim's fat ass on the screen?
    • Grimdotdotdot, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6That's four good reasons...
    • lamiaconfitor, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1eh, just go to youporn.
    • alpharaptor, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6an aging sex symbol and a vapid *****, yeah, that'll make me sit through this /sarcasm
    • theOster, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1am i the only one that has always thought carmen electra was/is hideous? i just don't get it.

      EDIT: after a quick google search, Kim isn't exactly hot either...but they do both have boobs so i guess....
  • marjo9, on 07/04/2008, -1/+14there is only one way to stop this horror... a vigilante with a heart of gold and an eye for detail...
  • opiniastrous, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I only recognise two members of that cast, and both have appeared in some form of porn (professional or home-made) at one stage or another.

    Oh actually, there's that little black dude too...
  • Cornrider, on 07/04/2008, -30/+2I am going to watch it, screw you Digg bastards.
    • ZombieKiss, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3How's that low IQ working out for you?
  • NecroDigg, on 07/04/2008, -5/+7*****. These guys make the ***** parody movies, they dont even come close to being funny like Scary Movie. Date Movie wasn't too bad, but Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, now this *****. What's next? They'll make a parody of a parody movie?
    • dturnbull, on 07/04/2008, -0/+11Don't give them ideas.
    • voetsjoeba, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5"Date Movie wasn't too bad"

      ...

      • Fortyseven, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Right? I almost chewed my arm off to get away from that pile of *****. Even as a fan of Hannigan, I couldn't stomach that garbage. But if he's implying that they get WORSE... jesus, doesn't this violate some kind of international war crimes treaty or somethinig?
    • Gutterpunk, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3You saw them all? And you wonder why they keep making them?
    • DrainBamaged138, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2thats essentially what scary movie was....

      remember scream was a parody of horror movies?
    • Trunks33, on 07/04/2008, -1/+4First, Date Movie was *****! And also, the only funny movie this dumbasses have made is Scary Movie. All the rest have been crap. I wish the dumb teens would stop lining up to see this crap on Fri. nights.

      Me: What movie you going to see tonight?
      Friend: Disaster Movie! Yeah lol
      Me: Whatever see you on Mon.

      MONDAY

      Me: Was it a good movie?
      Friend: No, it sucked!!
      Me: Well, I could have told you that and you would still have some money left!
  • themadness, on 07/04/2008, -2/+65"Disaster Movie"

    What a fitting title.
  • hauntedchippy, on 07/04/2008, -4/+7Some studio exec has made the douchiest decision of his life by green lighting these movies. I wish cancer upon him.
  • andytandreou, on 07/04/2008, -1/+110FROM IMDB

    Here's a list of things you can do with 90 minutes that will enrich your life more than watching this movie (Please add freely):

    Jog 184 laps around your car.
    Attempt to cut down a tree with a baseball bat.
    Wage war upon an ant colony with a pair of tweezers.
    Sit in front of the dryer and watch it, whether it is on or not.
    Cook a pair of shoes in your oven.
    Sift through the dictionary and count the quantity of palindromes.
    Break a piece of glass continuously until you have a handful of sand.
    Alphabetize a stack of blank paper.
    Memorize the National Anthem backwards.
    Calculate how hard you can pinch yourself until your eyes water.
    Create a unit of measurement for smell.
    Individually pull out each of the hairs on your head.
    Figure out how to mail someone fire.
    Invent a new sport using only samurai swords, rope, and squirrels.
    Eat 17 tubes of chap stick.
    • LucasVB, on 07/04/2008, -0/+50That list alone is funnier than all of the Friedberg and Seltzer movies combined. Thanks!
    • saxreturns, on 07/04/2008, -0/+12You know what, I actually am working out how to mail someone fire now.
    • howdareyou, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9"Create a unit of measurement for smell."

      Already been invented, it's called Hobo Power. 50 Hobo Power will make you barf, 100 Hobo Power is theorized that the world will cease to exist.
      • Avngr75, on 07/05/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the Love Line reference. I loved that show when it was just Dr. Drew and Adam Carolla.
    • Ilyanep, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Memorizing the national anthem backwards sounds fun.
  • Depravo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+16Surely one reason would be enough?

    #1: Because it will confirm long-standing suspicions that you are a total *****.
  • SquareEnix, on 07/04/2008, -1/+24any actor who stars in one of these movies has forfeited their career.
    • Modulo, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6other than Alyson Hannigan. because she is magical.
      • RobotKeaton, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Very True. Date Movie has to be the work of Dark Willow, and not the Alyson Hannigan we all know and love.
  • Ducttape21, on 07/04/2008, -1/+10Maybe one day we'll look back on these horrible movies with a twinge of nostalgia, and watch them with large groups of friends, laughing knowing that the creators died slowly of several horrible diseases all alone in a dark basement.

    Maybe we won't though.
  • MechaFalcon, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6Is it just me, or is the same person on there as two different characters? Juno and I think Miley Cyrus...
    • Gutterpunk, on 07/04/2008, -1/+5You really think that they have 21 different actors on the cast? That movie was made with change found in the Studio's couch, they don't have money for that many actors, as ***** as they are.
  • YoWhatDaFuxUp, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9i like reading movie reviews about Meet the Spartans
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1073498/usercomments
  • LucasVB, on 07/04/2008, -0/+20Hellboy? *****, now it's it's personal.
  • AlistairMorgan, on 07/04/2008, -6/+2god i cannot stand this. this is the same six writers ripping people off for the ***** they saw 10 years ago and liked it. Ya scary movie was funny but its all gone downhill from there, DATE MOVIE?!!!!!! i guess the two of the six writers of scary movie were the ones who said they were writers but were only the real writers brother and sister. I think the six should get back together and write HEIST MOVIE, that would be funny, if they wrote it like they wrote the first two scary movies, AND PLEASE CAST ANNA FARRIS, SHE WAS HILARIOS
    • i11uminati, on 07/04/2008, -1/+3Use more CAPS for your next comment. You won't get dugg down as much.
  • AlistairMorgan, on 07/04/2008, -10/+2GOD these guys piss me off so much, i mean the first writers were ok when they wrote the first 3 scary movies, but then DATE MOVIE and EPIC MOVIE were just rip offs because you expected them to be as funny as the scary movies. all they were trying to do is make a quick buck and write a really crappy movie, just like AMERICAN PIE. Just listen to the titles of their movies

    DATE MOVIE
    EPIC MOVIE
    SUPERHERO MOVIE
    DISASTER MOVIE

    what do they just do? find a word in the dictionary and then create a movie about it spoofing all the movies that arent even of the same genre? God What they should do is have the ORIGINAL six writers write a HEIST MOVIE. Hopefully if they do it like scary movie, then itll be funny. AND PLEASE CAST ANNA FARRIS AGAIN, SHE WAS THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THE MOVIES.
    • alexanEmpire, on 07/04/2008, -3/+2Why was this dugg down? AlistairMorgan makes a really good point.

      Oh wait...it's not about Ron Paul, Apple product worship, Star Wars, and/or misleading paranoid liberal fantasies. Now I see why it was dugg down.
  • Kelmon, on 07/04/2008, -1/+18Come back, Hot Shots, all is forgiven!
  • Zoshchenko, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I agree it is time we stop giving anyone reason to fund the crap these "filmmakers" create.
  • jstem1994, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5I'm still on Netflix, looking up real movies from the past. Not much I want to see in the theater since about 1995.
    Just went thru all 3 Godfather movies, just watched Silent Running from 1971 w/ Bruce Dern.

    And today's RSS feed has no less than 10 lists for Digg...
    • cvindustries, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1You hitting up known classics, or going off say the AFI top 100 list, Sight and sound Poll, or IMDB top 250? My netflix queue is pretty much the same, although my post-95 stuff is pretty much oscar nominated movies I never got around to seeing.

      I love how much of the old good stuff on Netflix can be streamed. Those queues almost become part of your library, having them available at any moment.
      • jstem1994, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1I'm just saying "What haven't I seen that maybe I should?" And there are plenty, too.
        Also "What did I watch as a kid in the 70's on local TV that I would like to see the uncut original?" (For instance Capricorn One)
      • cvindustries, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Annie Hall, Chinatown (my personal favorite of this list), French Connection would round out the best of the 1970-1980 besides the Godfather movies. If you haven't seen any of those, definitely worth catching.

        One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a little overrated, but still good.

  • blipblipbeep, on 07/04/2008, -2/+0Its like a mad mag with sound and moving pictures.
  • alexanEmpire, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I hope Hollywood burns down to the ground sometime in the near future.
  • Slayerdude51982, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4It's called disaster movie despite the fact it has an abundance of super heroes on the poster, not to mention spoofing High school Musical, Juno, Enchanted and Sex and the city. How do those come form disaster flicks?
  • DanDotOrg, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3I'm sorry but has anyone mentioned how not one of the references in the poster are to a disaster movie?

    It should be called "Summer Blockbuster Movie"
  • Slayerdude51982, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4Oh and btw here's the trailer.

    • bmcnally, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1How can someone sit through an hour and a half of that? If a trailer is supposed to be the best of the movie without revealing major plot twists, I can only imagine what the rest of the movie is like.
    • quakken, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1The jokes they didn't steal from other movies were the jokes were stars from the other movies got hurt. And that's it. That is the scope of their comedy. Iron man getting crushed by a plastic cow? How is that REMOTELY funny?

      And the "joke" where juno is kicking the whore from sex and the city, it's a bad joke that wasn't funny in Zohan. What makes it funny now, writers?

      The next 0% on rottentomatoes- Disaster movie.
  • pdavda, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3How can they even get these films made? who's green lighting this trash? You'd think after a slew of terrible movies the duo have made that no one would want to go see them.

    Oh wait... American cinema...
    • ogre2112, on 07/04/2008, -0/+1American cinema is the most popular in the world last time I checked. I'm sure some *****-piece watchers from around the globe will be viewing it too. Too bad for them.
