Meet the Lethargically Plagiarised Movie (Rant #3)

Why is there going to be a "Meet The Spartans" movie? Didn't they already prove how unsuccessful, stupid, and poorly made these movies are? Didn't they already prove that none of these movies have clear or original plots or jokes, but simply 90 minutes of lazy plagiarism and a collage of pop culture references pasted together? Why is it that we put so much focus on the celebrity world? Why is it that our lives revolve around these people whose only role in life is to pretend to be someone else in front of a big screen? Why do they get higher regard than a doctor, or a teacher, or someone of a profession that has greater merit? Why is this our obsession?
These "Genre Movie" movies are not funny at all. Their main use for comedy are "fart" jokes and exact replicas of pop culture. Needless to say, "fart jokes" have a limit to their comedic potential, but why is lazy plagiarism considered funny? All it is is meshing different movies and different events of pop culture and putting them together to create a very unsuccessful attempt at a joke. These "movies" (if you can even call them that) such as "Scary Movie" "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" only lower the standards of what is considered funny. Comedians these days are AS unoriginal as these "comedic films". For example, take any white comedian and he will talk about the most arbitrary of tasks. Take any black comedian and he'll spend most of his set putting down white people. Take any hispanic comedian, and they'll spend most of their set putting down their own race. It's all so BORING and not not funny. YES, I GET IT!! Black people walk all cool and white people don't! Drop it!!
No one is trying anymore because they know they don't need to.
The only people whose wrists I wanna slit the most (it's a lot less violent than I have just put it) are the people who, not only write the script, but give the script the "O.K." to go into production. Even the actors who, for some stupid reason agree to perform in such a stupid movie, get me to believe that murder should be legalized for them reading the script and thinking to themselves "This story MUST be told!".
The worst culprits of them all are the higher up in production who know exactly how horrible these movies are yet still acquiesce to their inception in order to make a quick buck for their bottomless wallets by taking advantage our, the consumer's, ever disintegrating ability think for ourselves. They know we obsess ove celebrities, they know our sense of humor has suffered a severe atrophy, and they know we're afraid of change, hence, the many neverending sequels that studios seem to shit out every year without consent from loyal fans of solidary movies and non-conflicting storylines.
Who knows...maybe the corporate bigheads DO deserve the money from our de-evolved lives.

We've already proven time and time again by spending it on these horribly bad movies that we dont know how to use money.
