The Cinema Snob Movie	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Cinema Snob Movie is an origin story of Brad Jones' The Cinema Snob, and was released on DVD on September 27th. 2012. It focuses on Craig Golightly (Jones), a screenwriter desperate to get his blacksploitation film Black Angus off the ground. But as it turns out, he and his friend Neil (Jake Norvell) need permission from the head of the local film club to film it, permission that is not forthcoming. Seeing no alternative, Craig attends the film club disguised as Vincent Dawn, a fellow Caustic Critic. Then suspicious murders occur with each member of the club being picked off like flies and Craig finds himself forced to solve them. Directed by Ryan Mitchelle (who also appears as the aforementioned head of the film club), the film also stars Team Snob regulars Jillian Zurawski, Sarah Gobble, Dave Gobble, Zach LaVoy and Brian Lewis, as well as Orlando Belisle, Jr. and Noah Antwiler.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A sequel, titled Another Cinema Snob Movie, was released on July 26th, 2019.

The Cinema Snob Movie / int_1e584efa	comment	Cruel and Unusual Death: Everyone the murderer kills gets a disgusting mutilation after their death. Alex gets stabbed in the back, and then a barbed-wire baseball bat is shoved up his ass. Kevin gets his cellphone antenna stabbed into his eye, and then down into his throat. It's set to vibrate so much that it heats up and burns a hole through his neck. John Doe gets shot in the neck with an arrow, and later on a pencil is shoved into his urethra. Sandra is shot in the head, and her nose is removed. It's later used in lieu of Nancy's. Dan gets smothered with a shopping bag, and a snake is later slipped down his throat.

Everyone else simply sits there and listens.

Dan later admits that he fell for it completely, but his wife is the first to notice that "Vincent Dawn" is a pseudonym also used by Bruno Mattei. Subverted when Dan points out why it worked: Craig is just some random film maker he doesn't really think about and barely knows.

The Cinema Snob Movie / int_8b385e6a	comment	Origin Story: Of the title character. Specifically, as they're trying to figure out a disguise, Brad discloses the true (to real-life) origin story of the costume. He'd gone to a screening of Monkey Shines with a Q&A with George A. Romero afterwards. One of the people present - described as wearing an all-black suit, slicked-back hair, and "Jeffrey Dahmer glasses" - described an analogy of the relation between the main characters (a man and a chimp) as analogous to Man's relationship with evolution. Romero laughed him off.

The Cinema Snob Movie / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: Craig is not thrilled at the prospect of seeing Being John Malkovich. When discussing the identity of the killer, Neil suggests that there might be two killers, which Craig immediately dismisses. This is a dig at Scream (1996), a film Brad despises. Before settling on the Snob persona, Craig dresses as Gene Shalit. Neil's reaction - "Fuck. You".
