Jun 24 2008'Disaster Movie' Trailer, AKA, Characters You Know Being Injured

disaster-movie-teaser.jpg

When I began the trailer for Disaster Movie, the new fading-pop-culture-reference film from the makers of Meet the Spartans (who are now calling themselves "the guys who've seen way too many movies" rather than the more accurate "the two despicable retards whose sense of humor is derived entirely from recognizing impressions"), I had already assumed that when it was done, my brain would be clenched in a tight fist, flailing at my skull with the impotent rage of a child unable to come to grips with his parents' divorce. WHY??? HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING???

As it turns out, that wasn't really the case. Instead, the entire experience left me feeling as empty as the deserted street corner set used in every single shot. How else could you feel after watching a trailer composed entirely of recent/future movie characters getting hurt in inexplicably cartoon ways? A cow falls on Iron Man, crushing him with a Photoshop squeeze effect. That a joke. That actually happens. Who does this appeal to? Someone whose sole aspiration is to see the Joker get hit by a frying pan? If you are that person, this delivers in spades.

Wow. This looks PAINFULLY bad.

I want to set up a steel cage death match between these guys and Uwe Boll. Only ... if everyone died.

there are not any original characters in this movie.

wow, i dont get how these guys can find the actors or money to make these crappy movies. i hope they dont make another movie.

that whole thing was just cringeworthy. absolutely awful.

god i want to kill myself right now.

How do these movies keep getting made?!?!?
what sad of an excuse for a supposedly "intelligent" Human being would actually pay money to see this crap?

Wow, that was so bad it gave me cancer.

Wow this looks so bad. You can actually hear the power of Suck...

These guys should be shot. Typically, that's an over-the-top smirk and wink type of joke to let people know I am not a deranged lunatic, just expressing disgust.

But I seriously hope that the people responsible for this movie get shot repeatedly. I don't want them to die (that's just horrible to wish, right?*), but I want them to suffer. I couldn't even "laugh at how bad it is" -- because this just takes everything to a new level of shittiness never heard of before.

I'd also like to add on, that anyone that goes to see this movie should be sterilized.


*not really

jesus.

AAAARGH!! There is no saving humanity if movies like these keep getting made!

My head hurts after watching this...

F!RST

Holy Moose knuckle that's ... I mean...We could all pool our money together and hire an actual decent actor to have a two hour long monologue and it would be better than this.

How did they get SJP to do this part?!

i mean, i know these guys are idiots and all... but when did it become cool to parody movies that haven't even been released yet?

and isn't this just superhero movie 2? i mean they basically took all the superhero characters and put them in a new context. i don't see how this movie can possibly go any longer than 88 minutes.

these are the worst kinds of parody films. they don't even have plots. it's just one cultural reference after another.

Shouldn't movies actually be, you know, out already (Hancock) before we start parodying them?

so i thought, on a whim, sure... why not watch this trailer. is it going to be bad... probably, is it going to make me think any less of the film makers... probably not.... for the love of CHRIST though!!! I've spent the last 5 minutes trying that push your finger down the throat thing in the bathroom, simply to get this bad taste out of my mouth.

I watched the trailer with the sound off to see if maybe if I didn't hear any dialog, it wouldn't be as bad, sort of like if you tune out the stupid things a good looking girl says, you still have something nice to look out. Boy was I disappointed.

At least the Scary Movie series had some kind of plotline. This(and Meet the Spartans) just seems like they made a Madlib and filled it with the first 20 pop culture references they thought of.

Complete waste of time, money, effort, um...air...

HOW DO THESE GUYS KEEP GETTING FINANCED!!!!!!?????????????????

Why these movies keep getting made and why people star in them:

1. Carmen Electra has no shame.

2. Kim Kardashian was told this would rocket her in to stardom - or at least give us an explanation on why she is "popular".

3. There are enough out of town actors in this city who would blow a homeless man if it meant a part in a Chevy commercial.

4. THE GENERAL PUBLIC: they pay money to see these movies, so it's all pretty much their fault. They make these for $18 million, and they gross that opening weekend, and then make about $20-25 when its all said and done. it has nothing to do with how bad the movie is, it's that dumb assess across the nation actually pay to see this insipid bullshit. We have no one to blame but the film going public (and Wyoming).

14 FTW!!

The worst part in all of this is that they keep getting MadTV cast members to star in them. I LIKE MadTV. Why do they DO this???

I figured this trailer was going to be terrible, sure....but there's something *EXTREMELY* wrong when said trailer doesn't even have the one or two actually funny jokes (that will then be replayed as promotion until they die, a la Scary movie) to hook people into seeing the thing....O_O.......

PRAHLY CUZ MADTV SUCKS BALLZ TOO

I kinda get why people want to watch these movies (or at least I used to) - the car crash rubbernecking fascination with seeing just how bad a movie can be and still make it into cinemas. However, this logic is beginning to fall down for two reasons:
1) Why, for the love of Jebus, would you pay to see this dreck? It's practically what torrents were invented for!
2) Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Superhero Movie... we know how bad movies can get - these guys have shown us time and time again. Now we're just being masochists.

Oh well, be comforted by the fact that the geniuses who keep spewing these out are really, really rich by now - and about to get richer. And you're not. Comforting, no?

This shit is horrible....how do they continue to make movies?? Why do people go to see them? What is wrong with our society?

Im ashamed to say. I totally laughed at "Hello Lover"

GOD DAMMIT.

Haha! No positive comments yet ^

Really though...this was just beyond bad. It behooves me to think of the reasons people come up with to watch this piece of fecal matter.

I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

I agree with # 14.. what was she thinking? not only is this beneath her, but it totally ruins her character, even if it is self parody..

Somebody needs to kick the guys who made this in the head.

You know, I can remember the days of good parody movies. Ones that actually took their premise from a genre, but then actually had an original story.

RIP
Airplane, Naked Gun, Top Secret, etc.

If I'm a producer, what in the hell would make me want to sponsor this, much less promote it?

This trailer makes me want to hang my balls over a rope and punch them and punch them.

Totally agree with ya #35. I was watching Hot Shots: Part Deux the other day, and it just helped remind me how far these movies have fallen. Where's a Zucker brother when you need one?

And a couple other things. First, it looks like these guys aren't even watching the movies they're parodying anymore, just the trailers. That Zohan bit was straight from the trailer. Second, they're not even sticking to the TITLE of the movie. At most, we saw an asteroid sitting on top of Hannah Montana. Where are the references to "Day After Tomorrow," "Dante's Peak," "Armageddon," "The Core," "Cloverfield," etc., etc.?

I'm sure now...

there's no hope for hollywood.

THAT, is the apocalypse coming to us, in the form of deadly celluloid.

Um, #33, thats a joke. it's not really her.

#40, i was wondering how they got a horse to wear a wig for that long.

#35, Truer words were never spoken. I miss the days of GOOD parodies that actually strove to be funny rather than try and fit as many cultural references as possible into a 5 minute period, and then filled them with fart jokes. What has this world come to?

Um, #40, we all know that. It's just funny to say that SJP looks like a man, and the creators... sorry, defecators of this movie chose a man to play her. See, it was a joke... Ah, what's the use?

haha snark you just made my sorry ass evening

oh my god what a peice of crap i just

this is just like scary movie 3,4 and epic movie and the rest of the crapy ass movies

I just cried.

aah .. umm

trailers are always supposed to be the good parts of the movie right? the parts that makes people want to watch the movie

if these are the good parts of the movie .. then .. oh shit .. this is movie is going 2 suck BIG TIME

Haven't they lost enough money from all the other crap they've made?

i just ate my own eyeballs

What a shit sandwich

that very intersting!

i really want see it.

this is so bad that it actually makes MADtv look funny. so bad that it actually makes Carlos Mencia look funny. they aren't even the "guys who've watched too many movies", so much as they are the "guy who've watched too many movie trailers". they just took the gags from a few movie trailers and strung them together but mixed and matched the movie references. nice job, assholes. eat a hard dick.

If anyone reading this is about to go nuts and shoot up their school/workplace/neighborhood shopping mall, please consider seeking out and assassinating these filmmakers instead. It'll be like a 50/50 shot you'll still end up in Heaven, and you damned well know you'll get a million people to sign an online petition to drop the charges.

Okay, I admit it was horribly horribly bad, but I did laugh when the baby kicked Sarah Jerome Parker in the face. I'd have paid them to be in a movie where I get to kick her in the face. From about 46 yards out. As time expires. Against the Colts....

The people who make these movies should be executed for taking up too much air and money from the U.S. citizens. It's robbery I tells ya!

I DID think that the Sarah Jessica Parker thing was funny. Just the mocking of her consistently god-awful monologue, and the fact that the guy looked quite a bit like her.

The rest of it, well, it's all been said, hasn't it?

I don't know what everyone is talking about. This movie could very well be the most unique and creative movie ever made. I mean, there's disasters... thats different.... right?

I'm reading this article at work, where the powers that be have blocked streaming media...

Jealous?

Christ in Heaven, I'm sure the american public isnt stupid enough to spend money on this... but I've been wrong before.

i thought not another teen movie was a good one

it's just that they have made so many, the idea sorta got boring.

Really, WHO ON EARTH spends time and money to go and watch this stuff?

The Abandoned title was "Proof that god hates cinema.... Movie!"

I'll tell ya what keeps these movies going, it's not just the movie going public, but all the immature little high school retards out there who think these movies are "cool". Go to any theater when these movies are going, and guess who you see there? The brainless wonders of teendom. And they'll laugh and laugh as if it's the funniest thing ever made, because much like most of the younger generation, they have no sense as to what is quality.

And I dont blame the guys who makes these movies for making them. They'll make their millions, and that's all they care about. And as long as there are brainless wonders out there, they'll keep making their millions while the rest have to put up with this putrid garbage.

Hard to keep making funny movies.

Look at Adam Sandler. He practically dropped off the earth directing so-so drivel and now comes back ten years later with a starring role. WTF!

MadTV is still better than SNL since they don't have some guest actor screwing up all the scenes plugging their new movie.

MadTV just gets a good idea for a two minutes skit and drags it into the fucking shitsand.

Come on people! Don't any of the writers get stoned anymore?

I admit I liked Date Movie and Epic (I copied both of them,heh).

I hadn't laughed at a movie that much for a long time.

Yeah, it's stupid. But it moves along great and as a whole it shines.

I haven't bothered to see ALL their movies since you practically have to have watched every goddam movie out this year to get any of the jokes.

Bottom line. I write better crap in my head then these desk jockeys dream up.

I'd rather watch vintage SNL reruns than that new shit (are you listening you dumbfucks- maybe more people would tune in if you blew 20-30 minutes with a best of SNL break). We all watched Tracy Allman to see the Simpson's and look what happened. Tracy is fodder and Simpsons are selling Buzz Cola at my fucking 7-11!

Good lord... something is REALLY wrong with a *supposedly* comedy movie when the comments against the trailer are actually funnier than the trailer itself!

Premiering Christmas '09... Movie Movie, a three-hour comedy epic featuring every conceivable main character from the past two years of cinema in a cavalcade of lame-dick jokes, unrecognizable actors, and ultimately pointless riffs on pop culture. Directed by Jerry Zucker.
