more reactions to The Parallel Universe Film Guide!
"The Parallel Universe Film Guide, a sort-of comprehensive database of movies bearing uncanny likenesses to classics and not-so-classics cataloged by IMDB. We're stunned to find new favorites like 1972's The Lovablest Mafia Family in the World, the 1985 culture clash Suddenly Amish, the award-winning drama My Wild Irish Invalid and the unfinished silent classic The Night Jerker among many others, all neatly cross-referenced by star, director and even memorable quotes. If you can browse the PUFG and manage to get any more work done today, then you're just not paying attention." - defamer.com
"You are urged to check out the new site Parallel Universe Film Guide, created by Spencer Green...a remarkably thorough sendup of IMDb and film-geekdom, offering hundreds of listings for movies: listings that include directors, actors, plot summaries, trivia, memorable lines, and cross references–all entirely fictitious, for movies that don’t exist...Above all, it’s pure joy to just go to the site, click on the alphabetical index at left, and see descriptions of such never-made films as Varmints, Desist (1916), Path to Levittown (1948), Captain Pimptastic and His Anti-Whitey Gun (1972), and Daddy Touched My Secret Place (1983, TVM).'" - snobsite.com
"Spencer Green has taken on a project that only a genius or a madman would dare tackle: The Parallel Universe Film Guide, a Bizarro-World imdb.com-style site listing...1,000 movies that don't really exist...The Parallel Universe Film Guide is funny if you don't know your film history and utterly hilarious if you do...it's not just hours of fun, it's days of fun." - insidesocal.com/tv, David Kronke (The Mayor of Television)
Movies. Ah, movies.
They evoke so many images, sounds, memories: sweeping landscapes, epic battles, tender romances, teens getting hacked to death by machete-wielding maniacs, overpaid stars on auto-pilot. Movies can entertain, make you think, insult your intelligence, and for a few hours, make you forget the wretched world we live in and the people who either spit on or ignore you every day.
There are many (many, many) film websites out there in Internetville, U.S.A., so why another one? Because this one is designed to have a little fun with all of those other websites and with the people who take films way too seriously. You will not find any familiar sounding movie titles or actors or directors here because, well, there aren't any. The Parallel Universe Film Guide is a grand parody of film buffdom and film history. Everything here has specific targets in the "real" world and I hope there is enough to amuse any person who drops by even casually to look. But…the more you know about films, the more you will get all the references in this parallel universe and be able to enjoy matching all the elements in my fictional world with those of the so-called real one with which we are sadly all too familiar.
All you need to do to begin your journey through The Parallel Universe Film Guide is check out the index of movies located conveniently to your left and below this now boring introduction, and start clicking.
Obviously, this site is in its wee baby stages and the (staff) and I will be updating daily with old movies and new ones and fun facts all around (see below for all updates). If you have any comments, you may either e-mail them to staff@parallelfilmguide.com or post them on the blog. Also, check out the sites of some of my friends on the right side of this page and, if you feel a sudden rush of generosity, do feel free to contribute on the donations page.
And now, with that out of the way…onto the movies!
No, really. Go. Start clicking links. Why do you think I did this?
