I Don’t Want To Talk About This
I really don’t. It hurts too much. It just makes me so angry. This shouldn’t exist. I should have to live in the same world as such things.
The guys that made Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Disaster Movie, and Vampires Suck are being given more money to make another film-
The Starving Games

Fake Movie Friday- Say Goodnight HelperTron
Today has been an incredible Fake Movie Friday. I really wanted to step up my game so here is something a bit more serious.
A few years ago Priest and the Beekeeper did an improv scene about a robot on a space station that has been stuck in my head ever since. I’ve been trying to turn it into a short story, but I’m in no means a writer. Here’s the film version then. Its one of those psuedo-sci-fi movies that people will scream about nominations but won’t get any, i.e. Moon.

Guess Who: The Game, The Movie
Us guys at Movie Movie absolutely love movies, but fear the direction with which they are headed. For some reason, the only movies that get greenlit anymore have to be based on something pre-existing to the point that we are getting Battleship next week. This sketch, written and directed by our friends Mary Iampietro and Zach Broussard is not only hilarious, but a terrifying glimpse into what our future is going to be, if we don’t take control of our entertainment NOW!
Fake Movie Friday – Where’s Waldo
It’s Friday! Be excited! The work week is ending, the weekend begins, and soon enough it will be Monday again. Before that happens though it’s time for:
FAKE!
MOVIE!
FRIDAY!
(The studio audience cheers)
I know the rights to this were purchased, which was bewildering to me at first. Then I thought about it, pondered a bit, mediated, slept, ran, thought some more and I think I know how it could to be done. I submit for your approval Where’s Waldo.
Fake Movie Friday – The Lucky Picture
Nicholas Sparks is known far and wide for basically taking the same book and re-working it so he can squeeze another Channing Tatum vehicle out of it. Knowing this, my good friends Michelle Tully and Tom Censani, came up with a play on The Lucky One called The Lucky Picture. I have taken several liberties with their plot as it was originally only 4 drunken sentences I wrote on my iPhone in the bar.
The film stars Chris Pine as a down on his luck surgeon named Max. Patient after patient has died on his watch and he is having what surgeons call “bad luck”. He considers at one point giving up his profession, his life, and moving back from the big city to the midwest to open up a small-town practice. One night while out with his friends and few too many drinks, he takes a cab home and in the backseat there is a random polaroid headshot of a woman. The photo is of Isla Fisher. He speaks to the photo and says something lame like “I bet she’s having better luck than me…wherever she is…”
Drunk Goggles
Before the sold-out midnight screening of Avenger the audience applauded the Spider-man preview. They went nuts over the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ trailer. Even the first look at ‘Frankenweenie’ got some cheers. ‘Prometheus’ got some boos and groans.
I was shocked. But if you really think about it, is it a good trailer?

New Comic Wednesday
I buy comics every Wednesday. A movie is released based on a comic book practically every month. 80% of these films piss me off. 19% entertain me. 1% make me really happy.
Each Wednesday here at Movie Movie, I’ll be talking about a book I’m buying that could be a movie.

How Did We Get Here? #2
The trailer for ‘Frankenweenie’ debuted before ‘The Avengers.’ It is a full-length stop motion version of a live-action short Tim Burton made while still working at Disney. 28 years later he returns to expand on the story and is credited in the trailer as-
The Director of ‘Alice In Wonderland’
Ouch.
