This is what a tax write-off looks like, folks. While the "Scary Movie" franchise to date has been mind-bogglingly successful, with the last entry earning $90 million at the box office, for this latest installment (without series lead Anna Faris) it seems the Weinsteins have lost all interest is producing another hit, and mostly just want to keep the brand going. Cheap, featuring a bunch of no-names, along with cameos from the likes of Charlie Sheen, Lindsay Lohan and Katt Williams who will be using the paycheques to pay any past or future lawyers fees, the new trailer for "Scary Movie 5" shows how low the bar can go.

So, who is the target of parody this time? "Recent" movies like "Inception" and "Black Swan," the "Paranormal Activity" franchise, because no one has ever thought of making fun of them, and lots of physical comedy too, with pans falling on somone's head being the height of comedy. We never expected anything halfway decent out of this, but we're still surprised at how shoddy and shitty it is. Again, all we can say is that there must be some kind of advantageous accounting reason this got made at all.

"Scary Movie 5" hits on April 12th. Watch below.

I hate that they used the beetlejuice theme music in this shitty trailer.

Watching this just makes me angrier that I contributed to the Kickstarter campaign for The Canyons before Lohan was cast. What a waste of money. Lesson learned, I guess. Fuck you Hollywood dipshits who start Kickstarter campaigns.

I contributed to the Kickstarter too, but it's weird that as bad as the movie looks, I don't regret it. That one looks like an interesting trainwreck. This looks an atrocious paycheck.

The Canyons have a lot more artistic value than this

This trailer makes me hate the fuck out of LA and all of the mediocre actors that come from here.
