just saw online that it's coming out in 2006
is that actually true? ? ? ? ?

I certainly hope not. If they actually greenlight another sequel, it will officially signal the start of the Apocalypse.

Elizabeth Garcia2 said:Whenever movies like Scary Movie come up, I find myself wondering: who actually watches this trash? I always try to hope it's just a tiny, tiny minority of people, clinging to the belief that most folks still have some common sense and find such cinematic disasters repulsive.
But deep down, I know that's not true. It feels like we live in a warped world where a huge number of people genuinely enjoy watching movies like Scary Movie.
And honestly, it's always a bit disheartening...

Spoken like someone who enjoys feeding the idiots.

I suppose those Scary Movies can be entertaining depending on your mood, almost in an Elizabeth Garcia2 kind of way. Though, I wonder, would it be too much to ask if I were actually brilliant one hundred percent of the time?

The movie? Absolute garbage. It might be worth one watch if you find it on a rental service, $10 but paying for a theater ticket is a total waste of money.

The movie? Honestly, just mindless garbage. Itโ€™s worth a single watch if you can find it on a rental service, $10 but paying for a theater ticket is way too much effort for this.

Same goes for $5.00โ€”mostly for most movies, really. Iโ€™m lucky enough that a buddy of mine has a massive collection at home, otherwise, Iโ€™d be out some cash.

Easy enough to make a quick buck, I suppose, but who is going to give me back the two hours of my life I spent on it? And let's be clear, I am *not* exactly a picky person when it comes to these things.

I suppose one has to wonder what a life is even worth if someone considers Three colors to be the pinnacle of cinema, or some other nonsense like that, or perhaps some noir film ๐Ÿคฎ

I don't quite follow. Why should someone hating on Scary Movie automatically imply they only watch "intellectual" cinema? I actually know why: itโ€™s much easier to dismiss critics by claiming they just don't get the humor rather than admitting that this genre might actually contain much funnier movies. For instance, Top Secret!, Airplane!, Blank pistol, or any other slapstick comedy aren't exactly smarter than Scary Movie, but damn it, I find them funny. Scary Movie isn't.

Bravo!!

Look, Iโ€™m not here to discredit anyone. Every movie has its crowd, and that goes for Dark film too. Just like Three colors has its following. You can't go around accusing people of having bad taste just because they like something you don't. Sure, every movie has flawsโ€”personally, I'm not exactly a huge fan of anything by P. Jacksonโ€”but I'm not going to call his fans idiots.

๐Ÿ˜‚
Man, you nailed that! Short, sweet, and straight to the pointโ€”I love it!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

All jokes aside, here's one that everyone knows: "There's no accounting for taste."๐Ÿ˜‰
Iโ€™ve always found this series absolutely hilariousโ€”like, I swear, I don't think movies could ever get any stupider than these! It's just pure, ridiculous fun. On the flip side, though, things like "Blank pistol," "The Wayans brothers' stuff," and those other schemes never really landed for me... I actually avoided them like the plague!
Look, the bottom line is that those movies make a killing at the Box Office... usually!

For instance: Top Secret!, Airplane!, Blank pistol, or Dude, Where's My Car? โ€” none of those are any smarter than Scary Movie, but man, they're funny to me. Scary Movie isn't.

Some people just dig Scary Movie films across the board because they love how the jokes overlap, but Scary Movie is MUCH more than that ๐Ÿ˜ and hey, what you see is what you get :P To be fair, the sequel was pretty shallow; they basically decided to chase a bit more love because the original was such a massive hit, but it lacked that certain metaphorical touch. In reality, about 99% of it just boiled down to shallowness, superficiality, and being downright offensive (especially regarding different movies, which doesn't even feel like parody anymore). But the Third part of dark film is great ๐Ÿ˜ Okay, yeah, there are some shallow jokes here and there, but there's so much else that makes it awesome for me. The problem starts when people assume anything involving those big-name blondes is degrading and not worth their time (aaaaaaaghhh give me my 2 hours back!!!!!, well honey, you took them yourself, ๐Ÿ™„ ), when in fact, they're actually making fun of that exact concept. The Wayans brothers go overboard sometimes, but other times (and honestly, more often ๐Ÿ˜ ) They hit the MARK! ๐Ÿ˜

I wasn't huge on Top Secret!, but props to them for being ambitious. (I didn't love how they handled the animals...)

Airplane! also has more mediocre jokes than actually successful ones. (I liked Top Secret! better)

Blank pistol is excellent ๐Ÿ˜

I can't stand Dude, Where's My Car. Charlie Sheen wasn't hilarious to me at all.

Basically, it sounds like you lean more toward those stereotypical parodies that poke fun at action flicksโ€”since you seem to actually enjoy action moviesโ€”whereas teen horror isn't really your thing...

Your taste ๐Ÿ˜‰

Brian Williams said:because they love his layered jokes, but Scary Movie is MUCH more than just that ๐Ÿ˜ and now, you see what you see :P

Geez. You're lucky. ๐Ÿ˜‚
no, there was a certain touch of metaphor missing

I really should ask if you even know what the word "metaphor" means, but I have no desire to confuse you unnecessarily. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
The issue arises when people assume everything involving glamorous blondes is degrading and unworthy of their time

Not necessarily. Though reading your cluttered posts certainly is.
( aaaaaaaghhh give me my 2 hours back!!!!!, well honey, you took them yourself, ๐Ÿ™„ ),

As does the fifteen minutes it takes to reply to your post. But once that's over, the problem will be solved. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
and they actually mock that concept all the way. The Wayans brothers exaggerate sometimes, but occasionally (and quite frequently ๐Ÿ˜ ) They hit the MARK! ๐Ÿ˜

I hope they do a better job than you. So far, I've read you on four different threads, and every single time you either use some ridiculous, inflated catchphrases or hint at deep meanings in series/movies that you ultimately have nothing to say about.
Basically, it seems you lean more towards stereotypical parodies

Does that mean alternative parodies exist? I wonder what an alternative film parody looks like. I bet it's those movies filmed in Eastern Europe where everyone is played by French existentialists in black turtlenecks, sitting in smoky rooms, smoking unfiltered Galois cigarettes while telling jokes from Aristophanes' "Birds."
Your questionable preferences

And naturally, you are left without a response.

Hopefully they release that other poster! ๐Ÿ˜
Well, Scary Movie was actually decent, even if I wasn't expecting much. If you ignore the random nudity or whatever unnecessary scenes they throw in, there are some solid bits. My favorite has to be when that idiot sticks his head out of the car and slams it right into a beehive, all while the girl is busy... well, you know... with the driver. Pure chaos.
Scary Movie 2โ€”itโ€™s fine, but did the girl really need that much screen time for the bathroom gag? The longer it drags on, the less funny it gets (honestly, it isn't funny at all) and just becomes awkward. Though, the parts where the giant weed tries to hook up with the guy, or the clown under the bed grabbing that... excuse me, that gay man, and then the clown running away with his... things wrapped around his neck...
What a bunch of losersโ€”actually, it's a great flick, especially when the pilot falls out of the plane and pops out of the bushes wearing fake horns, with a Deer Hunter sign in the background. Then you hear a gunshot...
What a bunch of losers 2โ€”watched it a hundred times. Typical amount of filler, but my favorite scene: when Rambo Sheen takes out the villain with a coconut and a bow...
Blank pistolโ€”the first one is good, the second is less funny, and the third is just bad and boring.
Airplane!โ€”that one didn't do anything for me...๐Ÿ˜ณ
If you actually want parodies, forget Scary Movie. Just go watch Mel Brooks: High Tension, Silent film, Funny side of history, Hot saddle...

So, I just saw a trailer for Scary Movie 4, and honestly? It looks absolutely brainless. Is it just me, or does every single sequel feel like itโ€™s just racing to see how much stupider it can get? Even the third one wasn't exactly a masterpiece, but at least it had some semblance of life. Now, it feels like theyโ€™re just doubling down on the idiocy with every new release. Why do they keep making these things if the goal is just to lower the bar even further?๐Ÿ˜  Does anyone else feel like that original sense of humor just completely evaporated after the first installment? It feels like everything from here on out has devolved into nothing more than some kind of juvenile, childish nonsense, and honestly, it makes me think theyโ€™ve just run totally out of ideas. Is there actually any substance left, or are we just watching them recycle the same tired tropes over and over again? I'm curious to hear where you all standโ€”what did you make of the third one, or even the rest of the series?
