Comedy gold: “Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer”
posted at 2:00 pm on March 13, 2010 by Allahpundit
A note-perfect salute to the lazy, manipulative, middlebrow schmaltz we all know and cringe at. I think it’s a parody, but who knows? Now that Hollywood’s moved to a business model based on recycling, a flick like this may simply be the next logical step. Here’s to a showdown at next year’s Oscars between “Movie Title” and that Matt Damon opus about how the neocons lied us into war so that they could grab Saddam’s oil.
If you like those literalist versions of pop songs, brace yourself: In a world filled with mindless movie cliches, you will believe that an arrogant hotshot can take on “the machine” while finding love and learning to care for his developmentally disabled brother/cousin/friend.

Appropriately snarky comment here.
nukemhill on March 13, 2010 at 2:07 PM
Ok. I watched it and I’m still not sure what I watched. Do I need a liberal to interpret this for me?
unclesmrgol on March 13, 2010 at 2:08 PM
Juvenile complaining at the lack of gratuitous nudity.

Angry comment about two women kissing!!!!
blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:09 PM
Love the camera angles and cutting. Best bit “Beloved actor who died this year.”
It’s still less cliche ridden than Avatar.
KillerKane on March 13, 2010 at 2:10 PM
Brilliant, ten times, no a hundred times, better than the swill Hollywood’s been pumping out.
Rebar on March 13, 2010 at 2:10 PM
Comment pondering if a new style of comment will be employed on future Hot Air threads.

Cruelly taunting AP’s betaism.

That was good.

Inserting snarky comment about Trig Palin.

Catch phrase!
Spirit of 1776 on March 13, 2010 at 2:12 PM
Hollywood ‘original’? They’ve been recycling for years. Just goes to show how ‘cutting edge’ constant drug use is.
GarandFan on March 13, 2010 at 2:12 PM
Can someone explain to me exactly what the heck was it I just saw here?
pilamaye on March 13, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Dumb question asked for no apparent reason… ‘Was that a comparison of cigs to coke at 2:29′?
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Hollywood weighs at least four ‘Wizard of Oz’ remakes. Oh My!
ninjapirate on March 13, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Insert profound statement here…………………..
Knucklehead on March 13, 2010 at 2:13 PM
AP…you may need to hold these “Comedy Gold” posts for next weekend in case we get a melting chocolate bunny post.
WashJeff on March 13, 2010 at 2:13 PM
It made me believe again.
29Victor on March 13, 2010 at 2:14 PM
Righteous conservative outrage over lesbian kissing scene.

Pedagogical commentary from aging film critic.

Surprised comment on how I thought the aging actress looking to make a comeback was actually dead.

Lorienesque comment on “hitting that.”
blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:18 PM
Someone put a lot of cinematography in this. Why?
Electrongod on March 13, 2010 at 2:18 PM
A “++++” post
blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:19 PM
Offhanded remark pointing out that it looks like a chic-flick…
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:19 PM
Irrational rage at no post covering a topic that happened 10 minutes ago.
Rhinoboy on March 13, 2010 at 2:19 PM

Class project no doubt.
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:20 PM
Because it’s awesome. The cinematography is what takes it to the next level. Whoever made this really knows what they’re doing. Very professional looking.
Techie on March 13, 2010 at 2:20 PM
Post intended for another thread.
Techie on March 13, 2010 at 2:20 PM
Comment about the number of opposable appendages pointing towards the sky.

Meta comment on the deeper meaning of “Movie Title”.
NaCly dog on March 13, 2010 at 2:20 PM
Troll comment.
blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:21 PM
I loved this almost as much as the video mocking the nightly news format. That one’s still my favorite.
sisterchristian on March 13, 2010 at 2:21 PM
Awesome.
Check this out for a laugh.
Mord on March 13, 2010 at 2:21 PM
heh
29Victor on March 13, 2010 at 2:21 PM
Comment wondering why my other comment is in moderation.

blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Emasculating put-down.
Rhinoboy on March 13, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Pointless clarification and refutation.
29Victor on March 13, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Slickly disguised attempt to hi-jack the thread into a Bush bashing wasteland…
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:23 PM
I’m snarkless,and I seen this on Big Hollywood site,
and I’m still dumbstruck as to what I’ve watched!
canopfor on March 13, 2010 at 2:23 PM
I hadn’t though to that. If it’s true, very good.
Electrongod on March 13, 2010 at 2:23 PM
Outstanding!
David2.0 on March 13, 2010 at 2:24 PM
Comment about how AP obviously hates Sarah Palin and is a RINO lover.

Sarky irrelevant comment, followed by annoying suggestion to vote for a particular libertarian candidate.

ladyingray on March 13, 2010 at 2:25 PM
Troll comment; still lacking coherence and displaying a lapse of mental faculties.
blatantblue on March 13, 2010 at 2:26 PM
Totally unrelated comment about Sarah Palin.
therightwinger on March 13, 2010 at 2:26 PM
Drive-by comment by half-baked suporter
AW1 Tim on March 13, 2010 at 2:26 PM
It’s the fault of the former president comment
ladyingray on March 13, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Comment about Ron Paul. Assertion of highly illogical conspiracy theory. Vague references to petroleum products or financial conspirators with Semetic backgrounds. Ones and exclamation points.
TheQuestion on March 13, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Feeding the traffic whore.
29Victor on March 13, 2010 at 2:27 PM
Linking this proves AP hates Sarah Palin

Declares a previous poster’s comments unfunny; compares it to the holocaust.

Comment about Levi Johnston being “right all along.”

Latecomer wondering “What’s new about this”?
…and also wondering where’s the nominated-for-Oscar director with disgusting personal habits?

Agreement and insinuation that Bush knew this would happen but did nothing, or worse, set it all up in advance to look like Obama was at fault.
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:34 PM
Snarky putdown of commenters choice of beverage.

Unnecessary and pointless comparison to Hitler and the Nazis.

Snarky comback that leaves fishy needing ice

Refutation of minor detail not related to main discussion intending to impugn the credibility of the quoted commenter.
pedestrian on March 13, 2010 at 2:37 PM
Post that will be repeated…
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:37 PM
Self serving comment that no one else in the tread saw the deeper meaning of the movie. Rambling, patronizing and self serving explanation of point of view.
RMOccidental on March 13, 2010 at 2:37 PM
In an effort to cut tension, Hitler Parody video link inserted here

First post of double-post.

Creepy innuendo toward one of the female-sounding screen-name commenters.

Second post of double-post.
29Victor on March 13, 2010 at 2:39 PM
Lame excuse for the repeat post, followed by a goofy keystroke character…
RalphyBoy on March 13, 2010 at 2:40 PM
Whipped male uttering praise of movie, laden with empathetic drivel, while hanging on the arm of gorgeous woman way out of his league.
Nethicus on March 13, 2010 at 2:40 PM
Apology for double post.

Cinamatic special affects when the Tingle Streams are crossed,while at the same time the,directer remembers
being in the checkout,looking at the enquirer,and had
seen Silkys debaucherous love scandel!!
