“Blazing Saddles and it’s HORRORS”. Movie review.

DataDan said:
It's been awhile. Definitely up for viewing this week.

Looking at IMDB I was shocked at how many have passed: Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn, Alex Karras, John Hillerman, Richard Pryor. RIP, all.

How can someone NOT get that it's the biggest FUCK YOU to racism ever filmed?

1974 was getting to be 50 years ago, you know?
 
The comments of that so called horrible review were pretty brutal. And deservedly so. I got the vibe that the author was really being serious and really didn't get the satire of the movie.

You changed, the movie is still funny. Context matters.

Honestly, that line wasn't that funny though. I guess you though the use of the word itself was funny?

No dude, I lived in Kansas City. The gay guys I hung out with thought it was hilarious too. Some of them are names on a quilt somewhere.

Medium.com has sixth graders write reviews of 45 year old movies?
 
I have been wondering how the writings of Mark Twain and stories of Uncle Remus are doing in this overly PC world
Will they start burning books?
Simular fallout of that mural in a SF school.
 
Oh look, it's a bunch of middle aged straight white guys deciding what humor is ok for everyone.

Oh look it's someone who thinks that's some kind of argument.

We are not telling people what to feel. Do you know what satire is? Honestly, do you?

In 2006, Blazing Saddles was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.[5]

The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:

2000: AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs - #6[34]

Damn white cisgendered men
 
Best comment: "It’s a funny movie. You just don’t get it because you’re an indoctrinated cunt."

Looking at the rest of her shit, I gather she has not lived a difficult life.

Being called an indoctrinated cunt is probably one of the top five worst things to happen to her in her entire life. :laughing

What does "ok" mean?

Well, it's not illegal. It's not immoral.

Offense is in the mind of the offended.

OK (spelling variations include okay, O.K., and ok) is an American English word denoting approval, acceptance, agreement, assent, acknowledgment, or a sign of indifference. OK is frequently used as a loanword in other languages. It has been described as the most frequently spoken or written word on the planet.

I understand its supposed to be funny. I guess if you find racist, homophobic humor funny, then that tells me a lot about you.

But hey, thanks for being the example. You're ok with humor that calls out POCs and queer people. But the moment you get called out you can't deal with it.

Now THAT'S funny.
