Potter, Rings Parody Planned
Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings fans, prepare yourselves for mockery. Yes, now that the Scary Movie series has brought cinematic parody back into the public eye, Variety reports that MGM is planning a film titled Henry Bates and Sorcerer's B***s.
The flick will focus on Henry Bates, who should rightfully be king of the land of M*****finger, and will include a good wizard named Gandolfini and a wicked wizard Enron.
David Morgasen, James R. Stein, and Timothy Stack wrote the screenplay — interestingly, Stack and Stein originally planned to do a parody called Gigli Reloaded.
No director or actors have signed on yet, but MGM is apparently trying to get the project going as soon as it can.
Well guess what Morgasen, Stack, and Stein:
From all the HP fans in the world: "You know where to s**** it."

I remember this. I posted an article about it under a thread titled EVIL! or something. heh.
I hate those types of movies.
If you want a good parody, see Spaceballs
Now tha's one of the greatest parodies of all time. Has moments of potty-room humour, but there's more to it than that.

I can't wait to see it! I hope they don't put it too much to shame, though!

I'm a HP fan, and I say Ginny Weasley in future please speak (only) for yourself.
What is it about some people and satire/parody...if you dont like it no one is forcing you to partake....I personally dont get into detective mystery type productions, but I am perfectly happy for such productions to be made and enjoyed by others.

Mafia is good, it spoofs the Godfather series. Robin Hood Men in Tights is great too. Look at it this way, when something is really BIG, it gets spoofed. That means Harry Potter was worthy of being spoofed.

And plenty of HP fans spoof HP. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the Puppet Theatre?

Whaaaat? Oh, come on, Space Balls ROCKED. xD How can you resist the power of Dark Helmet? Huh? Answer me that, baby.
Ok, so I just love cheesy spoof movies in general. Has anybody else seen Dracula: Dead And Loving It? A little inappropriate for the young'uns at times, but it's great.
Honestly? I think some of you need to lighten up. I love Harry Potter, but even I mock it shamelessly for some things. He who laughs at himself will always be amused, or however the saying goes.

I've never taken parodies of the things I'm obsessed with too well, but I'm starting to lighten up!
