Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg Do Not Exist

These guys who made all the 'movie' movies.  You know those twisted sisters who gave us Spy Hard, since that is the epitome of comedic mindfucks (See Dead Alive).  Everyone hates them, yet they still make $40 million each movie.  They always get top notch comedic talent, that asian guy from hangover, Kevin McDonald, that dwarf from Bad Santa.  Not to say they aren't probably sweating for a paycheck these days, but you'd think they have some standards.  Above is one of only like 2 pictures that are out there for these turds, other than that they hardly ever do publicity for the their movies, or are even using any kind of social media.  Wouldn't these types of people of the "they'd probably walk around with a 2 foot tampon crammed up their ass at a pool party to get attention"-persuasion want to be in public eye 24.7, or at least have a tad more publicity than the waiter/barrista/actor on imdb.  Isn't that an amalgamation of personalities, you can't have idiocy without being ostentatious.  Conclusion, they are the Alan Smithee's of the modern era, they are a joke on the American movie public propagated by Hollywood's top talent.  They make such crap that they know it will be hated and talked about by legitimate people who want to see decent spoofs, and they make such crap that they know the other half will think it is hilarious and line up every time.  That's the key to what they do.  You make a shit movie, epic movie, you don't try, you don't care, buy a pound of weed, make it in that week, you just market it the next week, release it 2 days after that, then you make boatloads of money.
