All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Your Studio and You is a 1995 short film about Universal studios made by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, future creators of South Park.Your Studio and You is very funny and has an all star cast which includes Demi Moore,Sylvester Stallone,James Cameron,Trey & Matt themselves and plenty of others.Your Studio and You is basically a spoof of those 1950's educational films(even shot in black and white) and its about how they can make universal studios better! If you have not seen this, you should check it out because it is very funny.You can find it on youtube.9/10
Do yourself a favor. Go to Google and type in "Your Studio and You" and then hit the Video button. This will bring up a wonderful short film that very few people have actually seen--Matt Stone's and Trey Parker's film made to inaugurate the purchase of Universal Studios by Seagrams. I assume it was meant to be shown at a corporate meeting or stockholders meeting--the public at large wasn't shown this film. This is really a shame, as it's amazingly clever and cute and deserves to be seen by the ignorant masses! The film is narrated by Trey Parker and the whole thing has the look of a 1950s corporate film--complete with black & white camera-work and cheerfully bland 50s elevator music. What makes it even funnier are the completely happy mood (almost as if the participants are drugged), the constant references to Seagrams Wine Coolers and the bizarre references to deer lawn ornaments. In addition to the kooky atmosphere, the writing is exceptional and it's really neat to see many of the studio's talent acting in this film. While not exhaustive, you can see Steven Spielberg (as a tour guide), James Cameron, Demi Moore and Sylvester Stallone (who has fun poking fun of his dumb-guy image).The bottom line is that this is an exceptionally funny and cute film. Even if you don't like SOUTH PARK, this film should make you laugh. However, there is a bit of rough language, so this is not a film for the little ones.
This short is great because it's honest about hollywood...it pokes fun at it! Everything about it is not too far from the actual truth. It's also got some great celebrity appearences. Trey Parker is one of the great film makers of all time, so believe me, this is worth seeing! This film is sort of hard to find, but you have to try to find it and watch it.... it's funny.
This is a terrific parody of 1950's informational films. It's an underground Hollywood movie, just like Parker and Stone's "Spirit of Christmas," which prompted South Park. It's a very funny, tongue in cheek look at Hollywood.
