“drop dead gorgeous,” which ridicules a local minnesota beauty pageant, is the illegitimate child of “this is spinal tap” — a weak link in the people-are-stupid tradition. in that it portrays a group of film students making a doc-mentary about a local witch legend, “the blair witch project” is not unlike those “the making of” movie doc-mentaries with which subscribers to hbo and showtime are all too familiar.
