Dec 8 2009[Genre] Movie Series Goes International
It took some time and a lot of Juno references, but we finally have an internationally-adopted American export worse for health than fast food: there's a Spanish version of the [Genre] Movie series. As you'd expect, it's a full dinner's worth of spoof tapas, including arbitrary references to The Orphanage, [REC], Pan's Labyrinth, Volver, and whatever other Spanish films could be remembered in the half-hour typing session that produced the final script.
Written by Paco Cabezas and Eneko Lizarraga (clearly Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer using what they think are hilariously Spanish-sounding pseudonyms), the film is called, what else, Spanish Movie. And no, I'm not translating that from Spanish Película. They're literally just calling it Spanish Movie. Thanks to Scary, Date, Epic, and Disaster Movie, "movie" is now a loanword that means not "film" but "reference-filled pseudo-comedy."
Here's the trailer. Keep an eye out at 1:30 for Spanish Leslie Nielsen! (It's seriously fucking Leslie Nielsen.)
A No Country for Old Men reference? So anything with a Spanish actor counts, too? You guys are drifting dangerously close to compromising the sanctity of this project.

It's nice to know that red text on white knows no cultural barriers. Much like the sign for choking.

You know, with bad english re-dubbing, this could be some kind of meta-brilliant.

So... so is this the spanish version of the trailer? Or is it entirely in spanish in order to be "funny"?

And it still looks way better than all those american (genre) movies. This one actually has funny stuff.

They should just make one called Movie Movie and it's a spoof of all the spoof movies and it's just the audience watching 90 minutes of a turd decomposing.

I'm not Spanish, but I'm Mexican, and I can tell you that whomever does not speak Spanish is missing a lot of references, not only the No Country for Old Men thingy.
But still, one wonders... why, oh, why???!!!
(okay, I confess, I'm eager to see it)

Well, I am Spanish, and I think that movie is gonna be hilarious! Most of the actors in there are really good comedians... and YES, is Leslie Nielsen himself!
So come on, people, give it an opportunity! If you've seen any of those movies it's based on (Pan's Labyrinth, Volver, REC and all that) for sure you'll like it! and of course it will be soon with English subtitles, I guess... (I think movies should always be in their original language).
Anyways! Love this site! Don't mess with the Spanish people, mwahaha! Eat fruit every day!
