It apes the look of a Wes Anderson film, but it lacks the dialogue/characterizations of a Wes Anderson film. As it has been said, many, many others have done a parody like this. And some of them have done them so much better.

I'm surprised that they didn't hire the Verizon guy.
Firefly is good enough to justify a second season. I can't give any originality points in the space-western category. I'd say a lot bordering on most TV sci-fi are space westerns. Star Trek was pitched as 'The Wagon Train to the stars'.
I'll also say that as much as everyone loves Banner's line in Avengers about always being angry, when you think about it, it doesn't make sense and totally destroys what's happened previously in the film.
I like Jane from Firefly because he's the only character that isn't Whedon quippy. If everyone is equally whitty and sharp tongued, then the fictional world is really just populated by the same character over and over again.
God, I hated AvP. If they'd only made a whole movie out of that one shot with the three Predators on top of the pyramid with the horde of Xenomorphs surrounding them, I'd of been happy. Instead, we get a series of fight scenes shot and edited so poorly that you can't tell what's happening, cliche characters, and it…
Whedon's one of those guys who's gotten better over the years but still isn't the shining star that his fandom praises him as. He was no where near being able to produce a script that was anything above mediocre at that point. As much as he complains about the Buffy film, I find it a lot more enjoyable than I ever did…
He's at a hospital. Sirens are kinda the norm around there.
"And if you go back and watch the shooting, you can see that he clearly
places the gun right to his temple. It's not in anyway wavering in a way
that could make believable that he just shot off his nose."
Don't be fatuous, Veyizmir.
Two of you will start an apple butter farm.
Usually, I'm a skeptic; but something about this makes me believe that it's legit.
Not to mention the dialogue of the botched suicide in the first rehearsal scene. The last scene reads a lot like his mind finally merging the 'Birdman' voice with his own feeling of self and identity. He's a celebrity and hero. He's getting the admiration that he desires so much from everyone he really wants it from…
There's also the connection that the three main actors (Keaton, Norton, & Stone) were all connected to comic book movies.
My take on the ending is that it's fantasy as well. It's Riggin's own reward to himself. He even has a bird like nose now.
I think Goldmember did a good job of realizing what did and didn't work in the second film as well as making fun of what fell flat. 'Zip it' will never be as funny as 'Shhh'. The fact that Dr. Evil devolves the whole thing into incomprehensible blabber in the the third shows they understood that.
Actually, it wasn't. It was Aykroyd and Belushi's side project.
How about an outburst like this: "BOOBIES!"
If the new Danger Mouse is as absurd, meta, and intentionally cheesy as the original, I'm all in.
I did when they remembered that it was supposed to be a comedy.
