i only got through about 15 minutes (also on my on-demand feature) and i could see that it wasn't going anywhere at all, the one-trick pony that it was (a very unimpressive trick, by the way). what makes even less funny is how cheaply it's trying to belittle the subtleties that tarantino, david lynch, and christopher nolan's movies possess. i'm sure there were many more CHEAP shots involoving other films, but i didn't get very far, as i mentioned. what's really infuriating is the movie was trying to do what other spoofs like scary movie did with scary movie tactics. the scary movie movies were pretty horrible, don't get me wrong, but they at least understood that when you spoof something (i refuse to call it satirizing by the way) it's much funnier when you make a ridiculous movie tactic seem even more ridiculous. some of the stuff this movie was addressing, though, were really great and revolutionary things. i realize how sexual lesbian scenes are, but by putting a scene where they chant "it's not sexual, it's art" or whatever, the filmmakers are really just making fun of that mentality of typical moviegoers not being able to latch onto a possible deeper meaning. yeah, someone like david lynch is just a perv, and he's gonna stick a Bound-like scene in his movie for no reason other than to have chicks make out. i mean, even on the surface that just doesn't make much sense, given the amount of time he seems to spend on his work. he's much too self-indulgent to have something like that in there just for the sake of it. so when the belittle something that isn't cliched to begin with, it doesn't come off as clever. like tarantino's dialogue. that's not cliched. i mean, it may be now, but only because of people directly inspired by his dialogue. i realized i was gonna go on, but i don't really want to.
