I’m starting to get this

So apparently, I’m supposed to “approve” comments that come onto these pages in order for them to be seen. I thought they just materialized automatically thanks to the great and powerful mechanized blog gods. My bad, so very my bad.
So, thanks to the few who have written and anyone else out there, please add your comments or insights or anything about the site or whatever else you may like.

Thank you…

…to all the folks out there who have been including links to The Parallel Universe Film Guide on their blogs, sites, and what-have-yous. The word is spreading and I appreciate it.
Now, someone out there write something on this blog just to prove that it actually works.

…wrote a very nice blurb about the site today:
“Remember the hit 1997 horror film I Know What You Ate for Breakfast, about “big-breasted teens being chased in the rain by a madman who seems to know each of their dietary restrictions”? Or that vintage (if historically dubious) 1948 biopic Babe Ruth Cures Cancer, in which the Bambino also implements the Marshall Plan? No? That’s because these movies exist only on the Parallel Universe Film Guide, an amazingly large, laugh-out-loud-funny database of films that will never be available on Netflix, along with entries for their nonexistent directors and ersatz stars.
Created and maintained by Spencer Green, the PUFG reads like a satirical Wikipedia of cinema (with even less accuracy), full of hilarious film titles — Vigilante Justice? Don’t Mind If I Do!; Arbor Day 2: Seeds of Terror — that instantly evoke their intended targets. Dig deeper and you’ll find insanely detailed plot descriptions, making-of trivia, and phony quotes, too. In a summer that’s given us Step Brothers and The Love Guru, these may be the funniest films around.”
Now, perhaps they can persuade the host of this site not to mess around with us too much.

I dragged myself to see this yesterday. The first two hours or so were fine–and can any comment that begins “The first two hours or so were fine” be a good comment?–but are filmmakers, especially those involved wth superhero movies, capable of ending said superhero movies?
