First Footage from Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern (he hates clothes!)

SNL’s Unstoppable Parody vs. FilmDrunk’s Unstoppable Parody

Written by Vince Mancini / 11.15.10

When the trailer for Tony Scott’s Unstoppable (aka Train Day) hit a few weeks ago, it was hard for us here at FilmDrunk HQ to see it as anything but fertile ground for ridicule (to be fair, we said the same thing about a baby funeral). While we rolled out our mash up parody a few weeks back, Saturday Night Live dropped theirs last night. You can see theirs above, ours below. Here’s my brief-but-totally-impartial analysis.

Unstoppable movie Rosario-Chrysler Theirs had:

Jay Pharoah’s solid Denzell Washington impression
Scarlett Johansson
“The Chrysler Building”

Ours had:

Brevity
A theme
Jesus

Giving them the benefit of the doubt (on account of their actually-pretty-funny Millionaire Matchmaker parody), we’ll call it a draw. That said, Seth Meyers still isn’t fit to hold my jock strap while I’m banging his mom.

Sidenote: Anyone else see this episode? Quality of music aside, Arcade Fire looks like a family of tramps who cut each other’s hair. Designed not for fashion, but to avoid lice.

The Mighty One realizes this was a post ago, but He wanted to commend Lince personally for posting ~~them Four Loko girls, woof woof~~ that Westboro article. The picture of them driving around on two flat tires just made His “Folder” folder.
Vince Mancini, on this baktag Monday morning, Kahless commends you! QAPLAH!

Arcade Fire is ironically how I picture Steve Urkel dying.

Arcade Fire can definitely be classified under “Stuff White People Look Like”

Jay Pharoah’s Denzel impression is the bee’s vagina.

Typical NBC! They totally screwed up my suggestion to improve ratings: “Show Scarlett Johannson doing Rosario Dawson.”

I’m just mad that, not only did ScarJo leave Ryan at home, she wouldn’t even tell us about his package.
At least she’s a good host otherwise. The Millionaire Matchmaker skit was great.

Too bad C-Tates isn’t in this. He could get on top of the train and birth some word:
“Yo, runaway train, you might be tellin’ me you ain’t fixin’ ta ever go back, but on the real, tho, the only thing ‘unstoppable’ around here? When yo dawg C-Tate buck his krumpin’!”
*busts a killa move, train screeches to a halt, hordes of urban youths carry C-Tates off on their shoulders*

Scarlett Johannson gives me a boner the size of Rosario Dawson.

Most of the time, I like Arcade Fire. But that second performance made me wanna’ fly to LaGuardia, take a cab to Williamsburg and punch a hipster.

I don’t know what Rosario is doing in that gif up there, but it would be way more awesome if she were topless and/or wearing a pair of those cute little ears from “Josie and the Pussycats.” Rawr.
