Actually, FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS inspires people NOT to use drugs (unless they want acid trips of lounge lizards fucking)

HOT FUZZ really is a great joke on the Hollywood action bullshit, and since you svsg have absolute disdain for it....one would have thought you would go for it.
To be fair, I didn't react correctly to your post. Sorry. I am falling out of my appreciation for spoof genre. Somewhere they tend to become as ridiculous as the movies they spoof. Was Grindhouse a tribute or spoof? And what will make it better than the actual b-movies it was based on? Same goes for Hot Fuzz.
The good spoof films are those that piss on the genre cliches.
While Irishman eats up the last few shitty spoof films that only mock recent films, the best spoof movies were from the ZAZ clan before they had to job.
Like TOP SECRET, which pissed on the Elvis star movies and the spy/thriller pictures.
Or AIRPLANE!, which obviously mocked the disaster genre's over-seriousness.
