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.

Inane comment showing that I have not read the article.
Repeat of an earlier comment showing that I have not read the thread. ;)

Reply to your comment while forgetting to use the “quote tag” which just makes this post look confusing.

Response to something on page 2, complaint about too many comments, and woe of not being able to go on forums of choice until end of lent.

Commenter taking time to comment that he doesn’t care about this topic, followed by admission that he didn’t read the other 6 pages of comments.

That was awesome! Half my friends didn’t get it!

Semi-related one liner in an effort to get quoted.

The book was better.
hepcat on March 14, 2010 at 1:26 AM
No comment.In other news … wait a month or so before flying on a 737.
Look it up yourself – you obviously have time on your hands if you are reading 7 pages of comments.
Hint – key words: Boeing, vibration, elevator, emergency inspections, 3000 planes affected

Late postmortem comment making the thread’s [in the opinion of the author] winning point that no one will ever read.
29Victor on March 14, 2010 at 3:07 AM
Addendum to previous point that must be posted before commenter can get a good night’s sleep.
29Victor on March 14, 2010 at 4:20 AM
Say, how about a movie with two vampirette’s kissing? We could give it an interesting title like, “Transfusion”

Lurking Vet on March 14, 2010 at 8:53 AM
YES THEY DID
Proffer of apposite observation tying dearth of new ideas and creativity in the contemporary culture to strange theory that the entire MSM in the 2008 elections had become a real incarnation of the mythical version of Fox News adumbrated in the film Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism except with an antithetical ideological bias.

Contritely toned correction of spelling in last post.

Ironic snark.
Jaibones on March 14, 2010 at 9:17 AM
Attempt at a funny comment that may be misunderstood by some and laughed at by a few. Generally ignored by most who happen to stumble upon it.
BoomJunkie on March 14, 2010 at 9:32 AM
Commenter continues habit of arriving very late to thread.
eeyore on March 14, 2010 at 9:34 AM
lol @ movie and comments.
Midas on March 14, 2010 at 9:50 AM
Upset comment of almost always arriving late at awesome threads. Blames computer that needs E-bay part. Furious comment about Al Gore whining about global warming where in the NE might get dumped with snow after all of it melted.
Comment acknowledging all Irish, all things Irish and how much of a blast they have at our local Irish bar. Getting tired of commenting that I have to add mentally one hour on almost every clock in the house. Will comment via telephpone to my sister in Puerto Rico -again-that we finally are on the same time zone.
Surprised at the lack of comment of “acting stupidly”. Therefore, I am afraid to comment that this type of comments do not turn into actual speak at the grocery store.
Wondering if my comments will have any response, since they rarely do. My comment on that, is that it hurts a bit.
ProudPalinFan on March 14, 2010 at 10:07 AM
Another statement of an apologizing comment for my mispelling of the word “telephone”. Urgent comment to pray for a 70-year old man at the hospital who’s been in bad shape and Mr. PPF is incredibly frustrated.
Mr. PPF is pi$sed that this gentleman has survided many battles and is nothing of a miracle that he’s alive and has endured so much over the weekend. Comments about artificial heart, and I want to comment of a phone call that Mr. PPF had to call the competition hospital to ask for it. I want to comment that this reaction is demeaning to us, but worth of saving a life.
ProudPalinFan on March 14, 2010 at 10:14 AM
Commenter continues habit of arriving even later to the thread, so much so that commenter has absolutely nothing new to add and must resort to quoting previous commenter(s).
Nevertheless, commenter will return to thread numerous times to see if lack of comment was commented on by other commenters.
missl on March 14, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Remark on the length of your post.
Joke involving an Irishman, alcohol and a domesticated animal used in the production of wool.
29Victor on March 14, 2010 at 10:45 AM
Thread killing comment about unwatchability of full length film concept.

Commenter closing the thread with inane blather and with what he thought is insight but was brought up and discussed on the 3rd page of comments.

I think “Catchphrase!” should be the next catchphrase.

I call ripoff! Same dealio as an SNL skit from the 70′s involving Jane Curtin and Dan Akroyd as a husband and wife doing the same kind of thing – plot movement as dialogue.

Comment of someone coming into the thread really late.
Chip on March 14, 2010 at 8:49 PM
Concerned about your ripoff call 7 pages late! My comment on it is that a link is needed to prove your point. I also needed to enhance AP’s atheism that brought me to the immediate urgency to bring all comments to #667 and not 666.

Pathetic excuse from an even later reader of thread that “broken popcorn maker” prevented him/her from getting here sooner. Attempted face saving observation that, “Hey! I’m dragging this thread’s broken but unbowed carcass into its third calendar day!”

Invoking of Godwin’s law, thus ending all future thought provoking comments and reducing subsequent comments to irrelevancy.
David in San Diego on March 15, 2010 at 9:10 AM
Adding off topic comments relating to posters own experiences to the subject matter in vain attempt to get personal attention or reaction to said comments from other posters of this blog.
