You won't go, much less come back to THE COMEBACKS... trust me, just look at this trailer!

Published at:  Aug 29, 2007 9:05:32 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here... There are trailers that when you see them, you instantly know... this trailer will be forced in front of your eyes 30 times before the film goes... and probably 25 more times before the DVD hits... and then sporadically - possibly 30 more times eclectically placed through out your life where you just groan, "OH GOD, NOT THIS!"

I'm blaming Mel Brooks, because he inspired the Zucker Bros, because they inspired the Wayans Bros, because they inspired even more insipid, trite, horrifying loads of fetid cine-drool like this shitty trailer.

Please - Somebody, hit the erase button on this film's existence.

Click at your own risk for pain... In Glorious Quicktime!

    Balls of Fury is a sports movie spoof

    by bobo_vision

    And this website is promoting the shit out of it. That movie doesn't look funny to me. Its supposed to be funny that instead of the usual testosterone-laden sports, its something fluffy like ping-pong. Its a one-joke premise that has already been done before ad nauseum. Things aren't always black and white.

    That's it, I said it. Shit! I felt the same way about Epic Movie. How in holy hell do you have a comedy parody movie that parodies OTHER comedies? Epic did it with Napoleon Dynamite and Borat and now this thing is spoofing Dodgeball. DODGEBALL!?! Mel Brooks is already rolling and he's not even in his grave yet!

    Those kind of canned sound effects, as heard on AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS and THE DORF GOES FISHING INFOMERCIAL and THE RISQUE SPANISH CHANNEL COMEDY SHOWS I ATTEMPT TO MASTURBATE TO WHEN WICKED HIGH, are a sure sign of quality in any theatrical release.

Another thing, don't those Hollywood bosses know that music at the end of the trailer was made by a convicted paedophile!! They said they were gonna boycott the music after it was used in BEDAZZLED. I'm 95% sure he gets royalties from it too!

    Fox Atomic vs Fox Searchlight

    by series7

    Why is it that while Searchlight has the far superior movies (Once, Sunshine, and I guess Daywatch came out in some theaters) while the other has crap like this but I can always find crap like this (and Touristas and The Hills Have Eyes 2, and the surprisingly good 28 Weeks Later) playing at any movie theater? Why does those movies get the huge push to be seen, their trailer shown a 1000 times on TV, while for the most part Fox Searchlight movies are hardly ever heard about until say award season? And I just saw that Fox Searchlight is putting out The Darjeeling Limited now I know what Owen Wilson is having some problems.

    by ribbons

    Spoofing 'Dodgeball' is about as low as it gets. It'd be like 'Austin Powers' spoofing 'Top Secret!,' or 'Scary Movie 5' spoofing 'Scary Movie 2,' or 'Epic Movie' spoofing 'Borat.' Wait, that last one actually happened. I cannot stand this recent glut of "spoof" movies. Not only are they the Arby's of cinematic fast food, but their entire purpose is to mock movies that are ten times better than they are, which seems wrong on an existential level. The last halfway decent entry into this sad excuse for a franchise was 'Not Another Teen Movie,' because it actually had something to send up. If your idea of "spoofing" the fantasy genre is by making Gandalf a black guy, or the kids from Narnia into adults, then maybe you should scrap the whole project and call it a day.
