Here, you can learn how to write satires on Hollywood blockbusters, and quip certain lines while watching them to the amusement of your friends! ... OK, I have too much free time. First of all, research is good. Read other parodies. I recommend the following sites: 1. www.livejournal.com/users/evadne_noel - The Breadbox Editions, by Evadne, are brilliant. She parodies films such as Star Wars, LOTR and other big blockbusters, and notices so many little things that you can't watch that scene again without giggling. Seriously. 2. www.the-editing-room.com - again, parodies of recent films, but a bit ruder. Do not read with parents looking over shoulders, because they WILL see something bad. Main difference from the Breadbox Editions is that the guy who writes these hates all modern films - Evadne parodies ones she likes. 3. www.livejournal.com/community/m15m - Movies in Fifteen Minutes. Not only are these parodies freakin' HILARIOUS (do not read in a public place), they come with icons too. And she is an inspiration to us all, because she's actually got some of them published. My copy is on the way. Wheee! So your homework for tonight is to read some of these parodies, and look at the techniques used.
