If This Movie Makes A Fortune, Humans Are Doomed

The Weinstein Company released the final movie poster for Superhero Movie today, and it features Pamela Anderson's boobs, Leslie Nielsen wearing a "With Great Power Comes Hot Bitches" sweater, and not one but two penis jokes (check out Storm's lightning and Dragonfly's popcorn). We're all for parodying superheroes and science fiction, but when it devolves into beer hat jokes and shots of people being embarrassed that their underwear is on display, we doth protest. It would be easy to discount this film if Meet The Spartans hadn't just made $18 million in its opening weekend. If this one grosses anywhere near that, we fear for the fate of our species.

Wedgies Are The New Superpower

Are Leslie Nielsen and David Zucker funny anymore? Maybe you'll have an answer after watching the trailer for Superhero Movie, an attempt to make Scary Movie for comic book flicks. High school student Rick Riker gets bitten by a radioactive dragonfly, and develops powers similar to Spidey's, along with an apparent love for tighty-whitey underpants. The movie represents real a step down the ladder for director Craig Mazin, who directed The Specials in 2000. Skip this, and rent that. Find out why below. More »
