Forget about comedians making a funny videos to plump up their IMDb profiles––the new hotness is skipping the video, and taking comedy directly to IMDb. On his Tumblr, comedian/Human Giant star Paul Scheer implores The Internet to join him, Adam McKay (writer/director of Anchorman and Talladega Nights) and several of their friends and colleagues in mobbing the message boards attached to the IMDb entry for the questionable classic, Another Stakeout. “Come join us and help us turn this movie into a giant cult hit for absolutely no good reason,” Scheer writes. “Let’s forward this e-mail and flood the site to the point where there are Another Stakeout festivals and conventions and midnight showings with people in costume saying lines along with the movie ala Rocky Horror Pic Show.” Why Another Stakeout and not just Stakeout? Scheer clarifies: “The first one was pretty good but like the Godfather 2 (or is the Godfather 2 like Another Stakeout?) director John Badham got it right the second time around.”
Threads on the Another Stakeout page which look like the handiwork of Scheer and gang include: Van Sant to helm shot-by-shot AS2 remake?!?!?, How many AS-related tattoos do you have?, and Another Stakeout suicide club!. wherein tommyxtommy bemoans that AS fans “do not have a recognized place in the world!” The solution? “Wemust killourselves!” Sic.
