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

[Brokenlink]

Ohhhh I seee. You actually added the GO FUCK YOURSELF part later. Just couldn't contain yourself?

Good show buddy. Look at you, all trying to be the social justice and internet warrior all wrapped up in one tidy little package. You come on to tell people how to think and what to say. Then when people don;t agree with you, your response is "GO FUCK YOURSELF"?

LOL, pitiful man. That's just pitiful.

This is comedy gold.

"jumping around like a bunch of Kansas City faggots", was especially funny when I saw it in Kansas City.

That wasn't funny ten years later.

Yeaaah, that scene's still ridiculously funny, as is most of that movie.

 

[Archimedes]

Imagine the BAY AREA riders forum being welcoming to queer, non-white members.
GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Are you new here? This forum has been incredibly welcoming to gay and minority members for a long, long time. Calling out BARF for intolerance is a fucking joke. Not woke, joke.

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.

No, actually, ALL of the comment probably traumatized her. None of them supported her "review". Even the one guy who was trying to be nice, and who's commment was as long as the article itself was telling her she was wrong. I bet the collective comments were hard to take.

Dude, do you like the film or not?

He came here to fight, not to discuss anything or actually contribute to barf. Misery loves company.

This thread makes me want to go watch Blazing Saddles again. Haven't seen it since I was a kid.... Or maybe a teenager.

"Doggone near lost a $400 hand cart."

Best scene in the movie.

^ make it a weekend and celebrate the entire Mel Brooks catalog!!

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I'm offended by all Jewish references in Spaceballs

 

[bojangle]

Oh look, it's a bunch of middle aged straight white guys deciding what humor is ok for everyone.

You should revisit the TOS. We have a woke section prohibiting bigotry.

Bigotry makes for a divisive and unwelcoming environment for all riders. BARF views all people/ motorcyclists as equals in race, sex and more. Comments that encourage, include, or troll with divisive comments of such are subject to review and suspension. Tolerance on these specific issues are determined by the mod vote for suspension at the time.

Please check your bigotry at the door regarding "white", "middle aged", and "males". We strive to make this place inclusive to ALL, including white middle aged males.

I'm sorry you feel irrelevant.

What are you even talking about? Are you insane? Where did I state I felt irrelevant in any way? I was merely pointing out that the content of the film does not support the narrative you are attempting to promote.

The entire plot of the film is, "Disadvantaged Minority groups who are all reasonable, cultured, and rational, struggle in the face of adversity to survive in a world completely over run and controlled by Middle Aged White People, who are all stupid beyond belief, except for The Waco Kid, who is struggling with addiction and saved by our hero."

This is comedy gold.

I quote Cleavon here all the time.

The film satirizes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, with the hero being a black sheriff in an all-white town. The film is full of deliberate anachronisms, from the Count Basie Orchestra playing "April in Paris" in the Wild West, to Slim Pickens referring to the Wide World of Sports, to the German army of World War II.

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]

If I recall correctly, most of the Germans shown were Prussian Military (WWI).

Mel Brooks was an American Jew and a WWII Hero who fought at the Battle of the Bulge as a teenager, so he loved taking shots at Nazis, but I seem to recall they were mainly wearing Prussian Uniforms in Blazing Saddles except I think for the Bad Guys Recruiting Scene, were they had some SS guys.

I guess I need to watch it now.

Bro, how can you have an Archer character as your Avatar and not seen this picture?

I feel like you need to go see this, The Producers, and History of the World Part I immediately.

 

[ThumperX]

Mel Brooks- ahead of his time. Pointing out the flaws in current culture and society.

Blazing saddles
The Producers
Young Frankenstein
The Last Remake of Beau Gets
Spaceballs...

and pretty much every movie Mel Brooks has been involved in can be misinterpreted the same way as Bugs Bunny cartoons. The humor is quick, poignant, and sharply critical of the day and age in which we live.
I suppose if one goes out searching for offense he/she can find it. How one poses humor makes all the difference.

A joke about a rape victim is not funny. A joke at the expense of the moron who "likes" rape, can be

I'm a middle-aged white lady what do I know?

 

[Snaggy]

It’s twue, it’s twue!!!

My friend Micheal Kevin used to say that all the time. Gay guys love a dick joke right?

He loved Mel Brooks, and Rocky Horror of course.

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.

Meaning that the ok part is relative, so you'd have to state the reference points in order for the comment about those things being ok to be true/false. If it's relative to Tyler, those comments would not be true. Relative to yourself, they are true. I've always loved Family Guy and none of it ever bothered me, but I've never been in any subjugated groups. I remember after my mom died of cancer, I was watching FG and they made fun of cancer patients, which hurt and wasn't funny. Six years later it's still not funny, probably won't ever be. One silver lining is that it's easier to empathize with how certain things may feel to someone else, though of course I don't agree with the strong reaction, because it conveys a lack of agreement with an American value that I happen to agree with, which is that the things you like the least are the ones that often need to be fought for the most.

 

[HappyHighwayman]

I look at it this way, if you can't get me arrested or sue me over it, it's ok to laugh at it.

Tyler is incapable of saying why he's right and we're wrong.
