Disaster Movie Trailer (Signals End of Civilization)

Disaster Movie Trailer Signals The End of Civilization As We Know It

Yup, that’s right. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the makers of such classics in the pantheon of cinema as Date Movie, Epic Movie, and Meet the Spartans, have unleashed the trailer for their latest plague upon the movie-going population: Disaster Movie.

::sigh::

I think what frustrates me most is the fact that, of any other genre, the disaster movie is most overdue for a good satirical mocking. And, from classics like Earthquake and The Towering Inferno through The Day After Tomorrow and, hell, I’d even accept Cloverfield, there’s no shortage of material to latch onto. Instead we get limp parodies of what? Juno? Enchanted? Sex and the City?? Do Friedberg and Seltzer not have any recollection of films that were released more than a year ago?

Here’s the trailer. It’s impressively humor-free.

It’s impressive that they don’t spoof a single disaster movie in that trailer. There hasn’t even been a disaster movie for ages. The last one was Poseidon and no one saw it.

Perhaps it’s a spoof of the spoof-genre? It is after all so ridiculously bad that it’s almost funny because of it.

The previous “movies” at least had somewhat funny trailers.

I think I just got dumber watching that preview.
Good thing for the people who watch “too many (sh*tty) movies” there are thousands of 10-13 year olds that will be lining up to see this movie.

Wow, so terrible. I don’t know if you can make a spoof of a spoof, but someone should make “Sh*tty Parody Movie, Movie”. I will admit that did laugh when I saw Sarah Jessica Parker though

I saw the trailer and I thought it was damn good. I am definitely going to check this movie out. Look, we all know that spoof movies will be silly and probably terrible. but there is an element there that draws me to it. I am interested in seeing what movie/personality they spoof and how they do it. I thought the Hancock scene was funny.
