thebitterguySo, in advance of the Greatest Evening in Pro Wrestling (which is like the Best Four Days in Gaming, only sweatier) the WWE has produced a series of "parody trailers".
Now, you get to sit here and listen to me talk about them. Ain't you lucky?
In order! Of best to worst!
Basic Instinct: Okay, take one of the most memorable scenes out there, re-write it, play it with enough straightness to emphasize the sublime ludicrousness, and throw in a Mae Young punchline, and you're sailing, kids. Sailing!
Plus, dig the wigs.
Taxi Driver: Famous Scene, played for laughs. A dozen and a half superstars take turns repeating lines from the soliloquy that made DeNiro famous. Big Show & Batista get the lions share of abuse. Molly Holly gets points for being cute.
A Few Good Men: Like the Basic Instinct one, recasting John Cena and JBL as Tom Cruise and Jack. Really, the worst part was that they didn't seem to put too much effort into making sure Cena's dress uniform fit terribly well.
Pulp Fiction: It's Booker T and Eddie. Why can't they just make them a tag team, dammit!
Forrest Gump: Eugene plays an Idiot Man Child. Okay, sure. Worth watching only for the punchline ("Run, Eugene! Run!")
When Harry Met Sally: Okay, amusing. Not really fond of the original (it's in the BAD place) and Christie Hemme's wearing too many clothes.
Braveheart: "Here you go, Mr. Flair! I'm sorry, but the sackcloth has no room for your dignigty. Please leave it here by the door."
Dirty Harry: Dear Mr. Undertaker: Fuck off. Yours, The Bitter Guy.

And Book-man and Latino Heat were a tag team, not terribly long ago, for a month or two.
Taxi Driver was the best, IMO.
Two reasons why the DH trailer sucked.

"Tomko, give me a beat."
"Uh - no."
AWESOME.
