GrobbeeTrull · 05-15-2006, 02:41 PM

haha, wow they got some awesome comedic talent there. Bob Saget directing, Dance Cook, Jason Alexander, Lewis Black, Norm MacDonald, Alyson Hannigan, Samuel Jackson as narrator.. holy shit, and out of nowhere it's Dave Coulier and John Stamos! Fuck, just get the Olsen twins involved too, make it Full House penguin style.

Mockumentaries about penguins? I dunno, the one you linked is probably the only one. Mockumentaries in general? Fucking Spinal Tap immediately leaps to mind and makes me want to murder everyone who didn't think of it instantly upon reading the title of this thread.

Zinke · 05-15-2006, 05:03 PM

Or, any Christopher Guest movie. A Mighty Wind, First in Show etc.. He's the master of mockumentaries.

^--- Movie is called Best in Show and its hillarious. Check out Spinal Tap movie, that is actually a mockumentary that is funny.

Zinke · 05-15-2006, 05:18 PM

Yea, sorry. Best in Show.

Man Bites Dog.

Fubar is a great independent Canadian one on the headbanger/thrasher/white trash scene. It's not as amazing as I was led to believe, but it's pretty damn good.

Fear of a Black Hat is money. Fake NWA-like rap group.

Some of CB4 is kinda mockumentary, but not overall really.

Matt the Gimp · 05-15-2006, 07:48 PM

Why make this? March of the Penguins was good. This looks fuckin stupid.

Grimmlokk · 05-15-2006, 08:50 PM

Because whenever anything is successful someone will look for a way to profit off it.

It's the circle of life!

Hard Core Logo , Canadian directed and Casted. About a Punk band long past it's prime that gets together for a reunion tour across Canada. It documents the trip, Hugh Dillon , of the Headstones, plays the lead and he is fantastic.

All original music performed by the band, and tons of cameos by various Punk/Alternative rock figures from past and present. Great movie if you are into these mock movies.

Eomer · 05-15-2006, 10:28 PM

Is it actually a mocking type of movie, though? I thought it was meant to be taken seriously.

And yeah, Dillon got pretty rave reviews from Tarantino for it even, and I believe he bought the American distribution rights he was so impressed. Too bad he's strung out half the time, otherwise the Headstones might not have broken up and he may have had half a chance of making a go of being an actor.

QFT

Fear of a Black Hat is hilarious.

"Naw man. We was in... Cleveland when dat shit went down."

I love hearing the front man explain how their sleazy lyrics were actually really political. lol... must rent this film again.

For Spinal Tap, be sure to get the version that has about an hours worth of unused footage + the in character commentary track by the band. Its like getting 3x the movie.

Fear of a Black Hat is great. Definite tribute to Spinal Tap, but great at making fun of the earlier days of Rap. Gotta love songs like "Kill Whitey", "Guerillas in the Mist" and "F--- the Security Guards" plus all the various artists names, so many Ices.

Not to mention how rioters aren't lazy, that it is hard work carrying looted stuff all the way home. Not that they were there. They were out of town when the riots happened. The guy on TV just looked like him was all.
