As for the success of Meet the Spartans- I hope the crappiness of those who watched this prevents you from ever supporting spoofs again. If people stop going, Hollywood will stop making this trash... then again, I don't think they'll ever lose their appeal.

The last good spoof was Spaceballs.

But really, spoofs as a form of comedy is really cheating if you ask me. Anytime you have to base your comedy from another film, it shows a complete lack of originality. I mean, I know they're not supposed to be original, but it just demonstrates laziness on the part of writers and filmmakers.

Finally saw "No Country for old men", and it blew my pants off.

Even with the high expectations... I thought it was phenomenal. Reminded me of something Aranofsky might do, but w/ alot more action. Thought it was interesting that there was virtually no music throughout the film. 5 stars in my book.
