Despite the fact that the last Scary Movie film was released in 2006, the Weinstein Company and Dimension figured that if people were empty-headed enough to spend $90 million on it then, there’s no reason they won’t spend as much or more for Scary Movie 5. As we know, the fifth installment of this exhausted franchise is striking while the iron is unplugged by casting Lindsay Lohan to play Charlie Sheen’s love interest. It’s funny, because people hate Lohan and Sheen will have sex with literally anything.
This week, Dimension released a new still from Scary Movie 5, and it tells us everything we already know about how little this franchise respects parody and how much it relies on “Hey, remember that person we all hate?” pop culture references that are funny to very few people. But again, this is the franchise that gave us Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, so we shouldn’t really be expecting Top Secret or The Kentucky Fried Movie. Hell, I’d settle for Hot Shots Part Deux.

Featured in the above image are Angela “Big Ang” Raiola of VH1’s Mob Wives and Sherée Whitfield of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and according to Coming Soon, they apparently get into a huge fight during one scene of the film, and that’s hilarious because… no f*cking clue.
Look, this GIF best describes how I feel right now:

But I’ll say it until the day that a celestial Mayan god harvests my spine for fuel, these “spoof” movies need to stop. If Leslie Nielsen were still alive, well, he’d probably be in this film, and according to Rotten Tomatoes he is, but that can’t be right. But he’d also probably feel some shame that this is what the genre that he helped perfect has come to.
I refuse to believe that there’s not a brilliant, young comic mind out there who can’t reinvent the parody film genre and help usher in a new era of Airplane! and The Naked Gun films. Someone please save us from the Seltzbergs of this world before another generation is tricked into thinking that a person falling on Paris Hilton is funny.



If somebody sends them blankets they are under to an Indian reservation, it would be pretty funny!
Whoa…. who’s the guy with the big rack?! Scary
I think it plays defensive tackle for Green Bay. Hey see if it wants any of this delicious beef jerky.
Falling on Paris Hilton is more commonly referred to as “taking a Hep-C grenade for the team”.
Big Ang is Cecilia Gimenez’s take on Khloe Kardashian
And this is why Black Dynamite was so needed.
whats going to get me is when this monsterous shit starts advertising every two seconds with 6 month old pop culture humor that wasn’t funny when it was current.
You can still see the fish hook scar in “Big Ang’s” mouth.
A once-proud blacksmith at Greenfield Village sheds a lonely tear at Vince’s “striking while the iron is unplugged” line.
Burnsy! ;)
I thought that second still was from an Asylum re-visioning of To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar as a zombie movie.
Okay, so Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan have managed to simultaneously achieve new lows. That’s kind of impressive.
I’m not really sure banging a coke whore is a low for… for…
Give me a minute, I’ve got to figure out which one is more of a coke whore.
Whoah, last time I saw a mouth like that it had Herve Villechaize in it.
One does not “settle” for Hot Shots Part Deux.
I was going to say, “Hot Shots Part Deux” was some pretty funny stuff.
There’s a reason that someone invented “Straight To Video Release.” Some studios need to remember that.
This razor blade-filled fucksock should go straight to bas relief.
Any time some shitty “actor” goes on about how family connections or name recognition had little or nothing to do with getting a role and how you have to have talent, just send them that second pic.
Unfortunately, the guys who brought us Airplane, Top Secret, Kentucky Fried Movie and The Naked Gun also brought us Scary Movie 3, 4 and now 5. My guess is the culture around them has changed so much so that satires on specific genre are too nuanced an attack for the folks green lighting these pop culture abortions. “Can’t we throw a Kardashian in this? The Kids love the Kardashians, that’s how you sell a trailer.” Which is precisely why the Three Stooges Movie inexplicably involved The Jersey Shore. “Kids don’t care about Moe, Larry and Curly but what if Moe eye poked Snookie?”
For the record, Scary Movie 3 isn’t terrible when it’s just being silly and not relying on “spoofing” a popular franchise.
Moscow in flames, missiles headed for New York, film at Eleven…
There is not 1 chance in 1,000 that those two hadn’t been in bed before anyway. So this is a reality show.
After the second scary movie, they all went downhill. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the humor left with the Wayans Brothers.
Do not google that… thing, unless you’re really into nightmare-fuel. Or catfish.
I will say this: Any franchise willing to hurt children and defile corpses for laughs can’t be all bad.
When did Mickey Rourke get a boob job?
Not Another Teen Movie was pretty good (2001). Can’t recall any parody films since then worth watching
