An Avatar Spoof? How 2010 of Them!

Congratulations are in order to Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. As per Coming Soon, the guys behind classic modern-comedy spoofs like Date Movie, Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans and Vampires Suck have thought of the revolutionary idea of spoofing, wait for it, Avatar in the soon-to-be masterpiece The Biggest Movie of All-Time 3D.

What a bold idea. If it were 2010.

Here's the description and poster for your "enjoyment:"

"In 'Scary Movie' we spoofed the creepy teen horror genre, in 'Date Movie' we took on cliché romantic comedies, 'Epic Movie' we parodied bloated blockbusters, 'Meet the Spartans' we lampooned the ultra macho '300' and in 'Vampires Suck' we skewered the cultural phenomenon 'Twilight.' But our new movie will dare spoof the biggest, boldest and most successful movie ever made – James Cameron's 'Avatar.'

With a domestic box office of nearly 700 million dollars and an overseas haul of over 2 billion, it was only a matter time before this behemoth got a good ribbing. And what could possibly be riper for satire? You got half naked blue people plugging their hair into strange flying horses so they can read their thoughts! And nothing in this mega blockbuster is off limits, from its overly simplified message of 'big corporations = bad; tree hugging environmentalist = good,' to the broadly drawn characters like the buffed out Colonel who's in a perpetual 'roid rage to the very colorful, glowing and... come on, totally stony world of Pandora. And just like 'Avatar' our movie will be in eye popping 3-D – making it the very first spoof movie ever in this format. It's a perfect showcase for our outrageous sight gags, physical comedy and audacious stunts that will make for a hilarious film and uproarious audience experience."

Between now and whenever-the-Hell-this-crap-is-released, we're sure there will plenty of other pop-culture reference to date this one. The world has yet to have its fill of American Idol and Jersey Shore jokes, after all.

When will people stop paying money to see these things? They are completely uncreative shot for shot remakes of the source films, with the addition of horrible jokes, minus any discernible plot. You wanna make a parody movie? Go watch movies like Airplane and Spaceballs and try to learn something. Oh, yeah..actually being funny might not hurt either.
