Hit the nail right on the head there, Matt!

That movie looks horrific. Falling Cow jokes? Jesus that hasn't been done since early 90's Sat AM cartoons (Earthworm Jim, anyone?)

Couldn't agree with you more.

I thought meet the spartans and superhero movie were absolutely unbelievably awful, but that trailer just left me speechless. Were everyone on the set so damn afraid that they'll lose their job if they spoke the truth?

At least the name suits the movie perfectly.

Besides that, there wasn't anything remotely related to any actual disaster movie. They're not even spoofing the movies they said they are anymore. It's just degenerated into "_____ Movie: Epic Movie again"

Good god, not another movie by these two douche bags. I don't understand why people keep watching these spoof films. They find the trailers "funny", waste 10 dollars, leave in the first 15 minutes, and then go back when the next one comes out! Why encourage them to make more :(...

That trailer...is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever seen.

And Uwe Boll doesn't have competition. He has been getting BETTER as he goes on. Those guys...have been getting WORSE.

I miss the days when parody movies were actually funny :(

WOW!! I wasted my time seeing Re-Vamped; but at least that was hilariously bad.
This just looks shitty bad! Are they the same guys that did Date Movie too? They both suck big, hairy, sweaty, smelly balls. I don't see how anyone could think this was remotely funny!

Hahaha, they put a huge rock on Miley Cyrus.

It's funny because, uh, people know of her?

I don't even understand the thought process behind these "jokes" or why people continue to see these awful movies.

I'm sorry, flawed argument here. Why do we complain so much about them? Because movies like this are taking away money from potentially good movies.

And even if not for that, they're the cinematic equivalent of Middle ages.

Also, cow falling on Iron Man, rock falling on Miley Cyrus, Hulk destroying his shorts, car hitting Cinderella-like girl, Hancock hitting lamppost, Juno girl hitting Sarah Jessica Parker with her baby's foot.

That's hilarious. I mean, that's some deep stuff there.

With seeing this trailer the answer has become an apparent yes.

Pathetic. These two "screenwriters couldn't make a good movie if someone sold it to them. They'd replace all the good jokes that make you think with gross out humor and disgusting slapstick humor nobody cared about to begin with

Complain all you want it won't make a difference, these people might have the worst sense of humor ever! but that doesn't mean they're stupid. Apparently a decent percentage of people are fucking morons and like this shit, so therefore they make movies that appeal to them.

It's a business, they make stupid movies because there are stupid people.

PS: ...and don't be rude with me for having this opinion. i mean, i'm still a n00b and don't know yet how this role around here. also remember, it wasn't me who made the movie

I find it interesting that walking back home from work half way through my shift yesterday I started thinking about american spoofs and how they HAVE to be made with 12 year olds in mind. Cause honestly, the must be the only one's the find this even remotely funny anymore.

I think calling movies such as this "shit" too nice of a word. They are more like diarrehal fluid that is only faintly coloured in shit. It's the stuff that comes out when you hope the end is near and you can finally flush and forget about it.

So, my friends, lets keep this in mind. This trash will keep coming out whether we want it too or not, but in 10 to 20 years it will be forgotten (until is so amazingly shitty that it gets remembered the same way as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or Killer Klowns from Mars). In the future, if your children ever find a copy of this please contact me and I will gladly find my way to them and smack them in the head with a 2x4

You totally missed my post, right?

Being a guy that will work in the cinema industry once I'm done with my studies, let me tell you it makes me die a little inside, knowing that money is taken away from potentially great movies for this kind of crap.

And ignoring crimes to humanity like that is not the way to go, unless you want us to stagnate forever in our pursuit of a greater good.
