Mad About the Oscars

    (E.C., 2003)
™ and © William M. Gaines, Agent

It’s easy to pick out the year’s “best” movies, but it takes real talent to point out why those masterpieces suck! This trade paperback from Mad’s “Usual Gang of Idiots” collects parodies of Oscar winning and nominated films ranging from the 1940s to 2002. The outstanding thing about a Mad movie parody is that readers not only get the essence of a film, they also get a feel for its criticism. And when it comes to the stars of these films, Mad artists tend to draw them warts and all—not how the director and makeup crew lovingly present them. Ruthlessly skewered are such movies as Apocalypse Now, Casablanca, Star Wars, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, The Godfather, The Sound of Music, Titanic, and over thirty other Oscar-caliber films.
