Ugh @ Vampires Suck. It's too bad there isn't a parody of Twilight that actually gives the series and its fans just what they deserve. Instead, we'll be given a movie where people will get hit in the head by random objects or have stuff dropped on them. Perhaps the most annoying aspect of these strings of "parodies" are how they have to point out to the audience just what it is being spoofed. Por ejemplo - "Hey, there's Alice!" "Look, it's Juno and a piano dropped on her head." "Oh no! GI Joe is GAY." "That couple is on a DATE NIGHT and they just fell down a hole." "OMG Iron Man is getting gangraped by Robin Hood, Shrek and the Prince of Persia." Then, the gag ends, and they move on to the next set piece. It's pretty bad when we long for Scary Movie 4.

I really want to see Piranha 3D. Go Elisabeth Shue!
