I saw a British documentary about an obscure British prog-rock band named “Hawkwind” on youtube the other day, and I was thinking … Spinal Tap was not a parody! Spinal! Tap! Was! Not! A! Parody! the musicians interviewed were all very, very British, and very, very dumb. The founder of the group elected not to appear because another member DID appear. He might not be an idiot. But I doubt it.
People who lambast Left Behind have never read the 1970’s fiction of Salem Kirban (666 and 1000) or the 1950’s Ernest Angley novel Raptured. Compared to them, LaHaye & Jenkins look like Hemingway.
However, the only Rapture novels I can recommend now are Mark Rogers’ The Dead, James BeauSeigneur’s Christ Clone Trilogy and Brian Caldwell’s We All Fall Down. Think the Apocalypse according to George Romero, Tom Clancy & Quentin Tarantino.
Every new Picasso I see, I think the same thing: This is the one where he’s just fucking with people.
Oscar Wilde and Elton John would bash this guy. For crimes against Art!
I’ve heard at least one person raise the same question about Plato’s Republic.
Sometimes Wikipedia reads like a parody of an encyclopedia.
The cans didn’t contain real shit – and once the shit tried to escape!
The Battlefield Earth movie is so bad and contains so many plot holes and is so poorly directed, it looks almost like a parody.
I actually think that if you took all the footage they filmed and hired an editor, you could re-build that movie into a pure comedy.
Skip to 40 seconds into this clip to see how it is. It thinks it’s a real sci-fi movie.
When you were still learning to SPELL YOUR NAME, I was being trained to CONQUER GALAXIES!!!
And Kipling’s White Man’s Burden.
Trolls don’t count. Conservapedia might not have been created as a parody, but sabotage has definitely turned it into one.
This is the third time in as many days that I’ve heard of The Room, even though I’ve never heard of it before.
Throughout that scene I kept expecting one of the guys’ eyeballs to be melted by an atomic blast, for some reason.
Throughout? Throughout?
Through? Out?
Meaning you watched the whole thing?
You poor thing, you. You were supposed to click the little “close” button after “Hi, Mark.”
And you were correct. The best part of the thread was all the indignant replies unwittingly proving your point.
You are really missing out.
I wonder if that particular quote is an homage to Rebel Without A Cause which has Dean saying the same thing in an almost over the top fashion that doesn’t seem to fit the emotion of the scene.
Thing is, I don’t give Tommy Wiseau enough credit to have even seen Rebel Without a Cause.
He claims his movie was supposed to be funny and fun like it is, but the other actors insist this was a real movie for him.
He has another one coming out, by the way.
