...with it." What he has got away with is a spoof in the tradition of the Airplane! and Naked Gun series--a send-up of such Hollywood darlings as the teen-horror genre (Scream), the teen-romance genre (Dawson's Creek) and some other nonsacred cows like The Blair Witch Project, The Usual Suspects and The Matrix. Wayans, along with his younger brothers Shawn and Marlon (who star in the film and share screenplay credit), also outgrosses the gross-out genre with two grotesque close-ups of male genitalia and a jaw-dropping ejaculation sight...

In her chapter on "The Futurist Shift," Gurianova draws a connection between Rozanova's lithographs made to embellish Kruchenykh's narrative poem Game in Hell and the "denizens of the underworld" of Gogol and Pushkin. Noting how Rozanova, in one of these lithographs, "Naked Witch with a Broom," plays with physical forms, assigning a witch's head to a devil's body and vice versa, Gurianova develops a key theme, the "play principle."
