Seeing Scary Movie has the potential of encouraging them to restart that trend of obnoxious satire which was so dominant before Marvel slop took over.
Skill issue, I like obnoxious satire
But could you do that to me? Could you hurt a pretentious cinephile who insists on watching 3+ hour movies and commenting on the lighting? I'd say I have a family but I don't because of that.
I do it because I am you but part of my formative years were spent watching slop like Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans so I really do enjoy when a movie is just an low-brow parody/satire.
I also just enjoy when a movie is categorically awful if my two viewings of Megaopolis in IMAX are any indication. Something very funny about dragging a bunch of friends to a movie I know is bad (because I saw it by myself a week prior) and going "trust me it's by Coppola and has Shia Lebouf in it", walking into a nearly empty auditorium & them demanding I reimburse them for their tickets when we're walking out of the theater after the movie
Pitch Meeting for Megalopolis was very funny
