In it I wrote: "The top reasons people give for losing their MAD Magazine Collections!"
There's a MAD Time Line & plenty of special features! It's sure to be a collector's item. (Well, we hope so, anyway!)
MAD About the Movies: Director’s Cut is your free ticket to the MAD Magazine's Marathon of Cinema Satire. It features more than sixty zany parodies of classic (and not-so-classic) movies first featured in MAD Magazine and rendered in full graphic glory by The Usual Gang of Idiots. Covering nearly seventy years of movie history, these side-splitting spoofs show that there’s no film so sacred that it can’t be treated irreverently, no movie star so famous that he or she can’t be made fun of, and no script so dramatic that it can’t be twisted to show its amusing side. Their scintillating wit and gut-busting brilliance make the silver screen look dull by comparison.
Some of the best-loved films of all time get their comic comeuppance here, among them:
Gone with the Wind
Bonnie and Clyde
A Clockwork Orange
Brokeback Mountain
Spider-Man
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
The Lord of the Rings (all three films!)
In addition, this book features unforgettable cinematic sidebars—sort of like scenes left on the cutting room floor, or DVD special features you actually want to see.
So grab a deluxe tub of popcorn, sink down in your favorite chair, and laugh your way through MAD About the Movies: Director’s Cut. When your friends ask if you saw the movie, you can tell them, “No, but I read the parody—and it was better!”
Available only at Barnes & Noble for under $10.00!!!
