Also glad for Liam Neeson because he’s been wanting to be the new Leslie Nielsen for awhile and now gets to be. He’s the sad Irish Leslie Nielsen. He needs that goofy shit more than anybody.
Sort of a shame that spoof movies went away for awhile because of all the NOT ANOTHER _____ MOVIE MEET THE SPARTANS BLAH BLAH BLAH nonsense because the Mel Brooks/Airplane/Naked Gun genre is such a great hallowed comedy movie tradition that deserves to be honored and done with some class

Top Secret is still such a banger. When he crawls under the fence, sees the jackboots there, panics, looks up, camera pans up, and the boots are empty?
🤌 Amazing work.

The real reason they went away was that Hollywood started chasing the international box office at the expense of literally every other form of creative expression. Comedy is the hardest thing to translate!

Not Another Teen Movie is one of the greatest things ever filmed and I will not hear this slander

I need another underwater wild west fight scene in my spy movie parody

I need more movies like Pop Star so bad dawg, we have infinite Spinal Tap ass artists that you can easily parody in a way so real it’s devastating
