Do you like movies? Do you like spoofs? Are you just tired of the hype around Brokeback Mountain?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, here’s a little Friday diversion for you: check out the movie trailers for “Brokeback To The Future” and “Top Gun 2, Brokeback Squadron”.
I found the pointers to these clips in a great NPR article on spoof movie trailers (and for you etymologysts, it has an interesting little sidebar on the origin of the word “satire”). The NPR story links to a number of spoofs, including my favorite, a trailer for a nice, uplifting comedic drama, “Shining”.
(note: don’t bother watching the trailers for “Big” or “Taxi Driver”, they fall short)
