Gundato: The problem comes from when a parody becomes that which it is parodizing.
For a perfect example, watch the first Starship Troopers movie (with NPH as a nazi!). It tried to make a parody/satire of all the various war movies that came out around WWII (like the book did), but it went too far and became an homage to them. It was intended to be a clever jab at action movies and the like, and instead just became a really awesome movie about heroic marines blowing stuff up :p

AlexY: ...So, it got better?
;)

That's just because nobody likes heavy-handed satire (which is why the Starship Troopers book sucked so much) :p
Plus, seriously, Casper Van Dien before his chin inflated to obscene proportions. Dina Meyer topless. Doogie Houser as a nazi/psyker. Michael Ironside as Michael Ironside. Hell, it even had Clancy Brown. That was just a work of art...
But I hope you can still see my point. It is like Nietche said: If you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
no, the girls in that movie were not attractive.

Are you kidding? Dina Meyer was hot.

Gundato: Michael Ironside as Michael Ironside
Thats the best selling point for any movie! It should be a tagline
Hmm...So I'm NOT the only one who has question his sexuality after playing a game like this. Anyways, sounds awful, makes Singles: Flirt up your Life (OR whatever the fuck it was called) sound like a classic.

Aliasalpha: There's just something about jolie's face that freaks me out, its just wrong on some subconscious level, I suspect she might be a vampire or an android

She was a Cyborg in this

nope, not kidding. :(

I saw the first 20 minutes of Star Trek TOS pilot episode yesterday (then I got so bored that i started doing squats in the kitchen), but I saw long enough to see some big headed aliens. She reminded me of one of those, though with hair, and the skull doesn't seem so... vein-y or pulsating.
OT:
Haven't tried it yet, but have so far read this demo review, and two reviews for the full Japanese version of the game. Apart from Alias' one, they all thought it was pretty fun. I've downloaded the demo, though, so I'm gonna try it when I get home from work.

I do have this tendency to form strong opinions, they don't call me an arrogant opinionated arsehole for nothing

Don't sweat it, you're just exercising your rapidly disappearing right to free speech.

True, true. But for one such as arrogant and opinionated as you, I think there is a terrible lack of ARGLEBEH in this article, as much of the game seems to have brought you profound annoyance.

Oh so now you are actually TRICKING people to say it? You greedy bastard!

Yes, I'm a very greedy bastard! With my invention, "Arglebeh, A Sound of Profound Annoyance", licensed under Creative Commons, every time it is mentioned I earn the amazing sum of $0! Mouhhahahaha! Soon, I will have enough money to secretly construct my orbital ion cannon (designs and software will be CC and GPL, respectively), I will hold the world ransom for some kick ass Korean BBQ!
Removing the exclamation mark makes it no less a ripoff of my trademarked "Arglebeh!"
I shall see you in court! I'll be wearing a red carnation in my lapel and as a reminder I'm partial to chocolates
What the FUCK am I on about?
I played the demo last night. Way too much stuff happening on the screen , it was hard to even tell what exactly was going on. I just kept hitting buttons so I definitely agree about the button masher parts. Also the music sucked ass
