Ok...I was able to slightly deal with yesterdays post about Chevy Chases new spoof of a spoof movie, but this, this is different and it's certainly not the material thats got me in a tizzy. Here is the poster for Marlon Wayans new "comedy" Dance Flick.
I guess he can't call it Dance Movie since he sold his rights to Scary Movie he can no longer use that title structure, which just shows exactly how unimaginative this is, even the title is a bad copy. I should have some hope for this, the Wayans after all are hillarious, and they did good work on the first two Scary Movie flicks. I don't know though they have been very VERY hit or miss latley and the source material just seems like a stretch for jokes. Obviously there are some very good visual jokes waiting in the dance movie genre, but I have a feeling they are just going to directly rip off Step Up and it's sequel, going for more jokes about story. How bout this, you make an original story and then rip on the cliches in other movies of that genre...is that not what a spoof is supposed to be? Not this lazy, unimaginative, possibly plageristic (yeah, I made a word up, what), shit that is being carted to us every year during the Jan-Mar big movie lull. Ahhh F it........i'll prolly still rent the thing.
