"Some secrets are best left a forgotten secret."

Comedy Central Insider links to an amazing bit from the usually mediocre website Something Aweful. These fake IMDB (called AMDB here) profiles for even faker movies are often hilarious and include cast lists, taglines, memorable quotes, and everything else you find on an IMDB page. My favorites so far are CyborgWarp and Hip Hop Tomb Raiderz, the latter starring DMX as Professor Phineas R. Compton. The title of this post is the tagline for Canoe. Here's some memorable dialog from Hip Hop Tomb Raiderz:
Lara Inglewood: Phineas! Enough of this bullshit! You need to decide right now: are you a rapper or an archaeologist?
Professor Phineas R. Compton: You know that ain't fair, Lara. Rapping's my heart and archaeology's my soul. You kill one you kill the other, man.
Lara Inglewood: This isn't about heart and soul, Phin! You're great at both now, but if you focused on one you'd be a legend! Why you gotta have it both ways, man?
Professor Phineas R. Compton (cocking pistol): That's the way I roll, bitch.

There are many instances of brilliance. Also brings to mind the work of the legendary Eric Blevins.

holy shitballs. here's an excerpt from an Eric Blevins treatment for a remake of starwars:
"a better version of the star wars movie and while they show it there's a picture in picture of george lucas with the flu also getting butt-slammed."
