pajiba.com über "Scary Movie 4" und eine aussterbende Filmgattung
Zwar ist der komplette Text lesenswert, aber die nachfolgend zitierte Feststellung weist in knappen Worten auf das (höchstwahrscheinliche) Ende einer Filmgattung hin – den Spoof bzw. die kinofilmlange Parodie im Stil der Nackten Kanone:
Part of the problem is that in 2006 it simply doesn’t make sense to spoof movies by making other movies. Filmmaking takes time — at least a year from screenplay to screen, and often a lot longer — and the modern Hollywood mindset is all about turnover. This weekend’s $30 million blockbuster is down to $12 million next weekend, supplanted by the latest big release, and within a month it’s playing the bargain theaters in half-deserted strip malls.
We simply don’t remember — or care enough — to laugh at jokes about a movie like The Village, which came out damn near two years ago. We’ve already made the jokes ourselves, or we’ve seen the movie parodied online or on shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "MadTV".
That’s the real problem with making a film spoof in 2006: The skit-comedy TV shows and even more so the glut of movie websites and humor sites mean that we can see movies mocked while they’re still fresh in the theaters and in our minds.
We’ve been assaulted with Brokeback parodies for the last five months — who the hell needs another one now? And Tom Cruise’s shenanigans on "Oprah"? Didn’t we all get that out of our systems last summer?
