The creators of Meet The Spartans have another film in the works that will lampoon Superbad and a host of other recent events/films/celebrities. We get wind of this unfortunate news thanks to our friends at moviehole:
Lionsgate’s “Goodie Two Shoes” will – not that a stratagem will come into it much, if at all – tell of a “group of friends who go on a life-changing adventure”. Apparently the main jokial thrust of this one will be ribbing films like “Superbad”. But, of course, and not unlike every other spoof film of the past couple of years, everything will be fair game. Will Smith’s forthcoming superhero jaunt “Hancock” is going to be spoofed, the “Sex and the City” movie (they’re looking for a guy – yes! A guy! – to play Carrie!) will too, and Mike Myers’s upcoming “The Love Guru” is even getting a ribbing.
I consider the work of Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer to be un-watchable and a waste of time. The fact that many find their movies entertaining concerns me. Their spoof films are among the worst movies ever made, and for some unholy reason they continue to be make money. There is a demand for this type of product and the only place blame may be laid is at the feet of the viewers themselves.
It looks like you can now pretty much count on every fairly popular film to be spoofed, or be part of a spoof film. These films seem to be increasing in number and sadly, the only way for the onslaught to stop; is for people to stop watching. Start a petition, talk to your congressman, take your friend’s car keys. Do what you have to, in order to prevent people from supporting this garbage and growing the genre.
Which parts of Shreveport?
I heard Austin Michael Scott was cast as the parody of McLovin. This is gonna be sooooo funny hahhahahah
We voiced a similar sentiment when the story came out. Something needs to be done! These idiots need to be stopped.

It’s at times like this I wished Mark David Chapman was a fan of spoof films.
these guys should kill themselves for burdening the world with their brand of soul-less horse crap. seriously, i’ll even do it for them. it’s worth the stretch.
The sad thing is, they had never seen any of the movies that Epic Movie spoofed. They insisted they got the jokes because they “had seen the commercials for the movies that were made fun of”.
No, I’m not really leaving. But I am sort of having an out of body expierience right now.
In the meantime, a true sign of inspirational genius is when someone like Seth Rogen/Judd Aptow makes a comedy film and it is funny, only to be followed up by the true slackers of cinema who know they aren’t funny, but they want people to think that they are.
NBAkid, your friends…educate them on thier blunders, make them suffer on the tree of woe

Carrie from Sex in City. The Crazy Chris brittney spears guy/girl.
This is the kind of thing that makes me want to believe in a higher power, just so it can bring lightning down on ass as creul as these movies. I’ve seen one of their movies and demaded my money back. Good news? I got it, but still wasted an hour and a half.
These guys are morons who make bottom of the barrel comedies that everyone seems to hate, yet goes to see. It IS disturbing.
Some friends of mine, as I’ve mentioned LOVED Epic Movie but won’t watch GOOD movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, James Bond, etc. They are the reason bottom-of-the-barrel spoof comedies get made.
So let me get this straight… They’re spoofing, a comedy? This is quite frankly ridiculous, why not just spoof another spoof? “Meet the Blazing Saddles” anyone?
Pointless.
