    lol! hilarious.

    Benign, vaguely-threatening Raiders/Last Crusade Nazis = Good
    Sadistic, Holocaust-causing Shindler's List Nazis = Bad

    Cute but predictable.

    You know what I always think when I see a writer taking shots at "mediocre" actors, or even "good" actors? I always think, geez, just give me a set, a crew and a script, and let's get that mad magazine writer/critic/blogger in front of a camera and see how well they can do what is a very, very difficult job. It's a LOT tougher than it looks. They can sure dish out the obnoxious remarks, but I'll bet they would look like a "deer in the headlights" if they ever had to perform a character in a scene and make it look completely believable.

    I think you're missing the point of a satirical piece, as opposed to a vindictive one.

    I think the problem is that the satire used in the article is really tired. I mean taking shots at Jake Lloyd? I mean geez, welcome to 1999 people. It's sad to see them dragging the same tired jokes out of the archives.

    Couldn't agree more. Seriously, Mad Magaizine just doesnt make me laugh that much cause its pretty much just a cynical online movie "fan" who, ironically enough, doesnt like ANYTHING Hollywood dishes out. Everything's crap and hey, if a movie is getting mostly positive but still mixed reviews(i.e. Episode I, The Matrix Reloaded, Spider-Man 3) they decide it is the worst movie to come out ever and completely(and annoyingly) trash the movie.

    Sure, the magaizine is funny sometimes, and I'm not a stranger to satiracal pieces about movies or making fun of them. Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie, but I make fun of it constantly, its all in good fun. But alot of Mad Mag's pieces are just mean-spirited and childish.

    That was funny as hell.

    People who seriously get offended by that need to take a good long look in the mirror and realize that they were not mentioned once in that piece and thus have no reason to feel hurt.
