Mel Brooks: "Stupid Political Correctness" Has Killed Comedy
As many of you have pointed out, Blazing Saddles could not be made today.
Brooks agrees.Asked if any of his films could get made today, Brooks replied, "No, no. I mean maybe Young Frankenstein and maybe a few but never Blazing Saddles because we have become stupidly politically correct, which is the death of comedy." He continued, "It's okay not to hurt feelings of various tribes and groups; however, it’s not good for comedy.BTW, Brooks' humor was rarely "racist" or antisemitic itself. But he often featured characters making racist statements. These characters' beliefs were pretty much refuted by the movie itself; for example, the black sheriff in Blazing Saddles was much smarter and craftier than the "morons" who called him racial slurs. But Social Justice Warriors ignore nuances like that -- is it even right to call that a "nuance"? it's the obvious main point of the movie -- and take the ineffably stupid position that any word or statement they don't like, even if the context of it is intended to undermine or refute that statement, is forbidden. One recent example of this was the Social Justice Warrior outrage over the movie Passengers. Which I did end up watching -- it was okay. Not very good. Nice looking sets of a spaceship and some good scenes, but overall, slow in the beginning, and then rushed at the end. The plot was this: Chris Pratt is in cryosleep on a colonly ship to another world. The trip is 120 years long -- the ship only (only!) travels at half the speed of light. But his cryopod malfunctions and he's woken up after only 30 years -- with 90 years to spend on a ship in which literally not another human being is awake. Including the crew, which... well, this isn't very realistic, but the crew is all in cryosleep too, with the computer running everything for the whole journey, which makes you wonder: Why even bother sending along a crew? You'd think if you sent them along, you'd at least wake up a few of them every six months or so to make sure the ship hasn't been hit by a meteor and undergoing a catastrophic cascade failure. (Which is exactly what's happened.) Anyway, after a year of being totally alone, and facing the prospect of living out the rest of his life alone, and after having (Spoiler alert) attempted suicide before chickening out last minute, he makes the selfish -- but desperate -- decision to wake up a fellow passenger, and the lie to her, telling her that her cryopod also suffered a random mechanical failure. The Social Justice Warriors attacked the film for Pratt's selfish decision to trap a woman in his same predicament, just because he wanted companionship (including romantic/sexual companionship - he'd spent a lot of days watching her various video interviews, falling in love with her). But here's the thing: The film knows that was a horrible, selfish decision. Chris Prat's character knows it was a horrible, selfish decision, and says so, and lives with the guilt of it every day. The main dramatic conflict in the movie is all about his horrible, selfish decision, and what the hell this woman is going to do when she finds out he actually condemned her to live and die alone on a ship just because he was lonely. The movie offers the same critique as the Social Justice Warriors -- this desperate man did a terrible and selfish thing to a woman to alleviate his own suffering. Yet the Social Justice Warriors acted as if portraying bad decisions, and the consequences of those decisions (both to the woman he woke up, and himself) is the same as endorsing those decisions. You can't really read that in the film. Yet they did anyway. The did the same thing to the movie Knocked Up, criticizing the male character's immaturity and failure to "man up" and help the woman he impregnated -- ignoring the fact that the film itself has a critical stance toward's Seth Rogen's character, and the whole dramatic thrust of the film is about him giving up his selfish, manchild ways to become a real man, capable of supporting a wife (emotionally mostly -- she makes more money than him, but he at least now has an income) and raising a child. Oh, and of course Ms. Magazine whined that Wonder Woman wasn't fat with a "real body." Despite the fact that Gal Gadot's body obviously is "real," and despite the fact that the character, according to the movie, trained to be a warrior -- you know, an athlete of death -- "ten times" harder than any other Amazon since age 8. So.... yeah. I'm not seeing the likelihood of such a person carrying around an extra 80 or 100 pounds. And:
"Comedy has to walk a thin line, take risks. Comedy is the lecherous little elf whispering into the king's ear, always telling the truth, always telling the truth about human behavior.”
When it was announced that Gadot would play Wonder Woman, audiences went wild body shaming her for not having large enough breasts.... Especially with the body positivity movement gaining steam, the film could have spotlighted female warriors with fat, thick and short body types. While people have said that warriors can’t be fat, some of our best paid male athletes are, particularly linebackers on the football field, and no one doubts their physical strength.So it's "body shaming" to say she doesn't have enough fat mass in her breasts, but it's Social Justice Warrior dogma that she should have more fat mass in her belly and thighs. Very nuanced take. (BTW, her breasts were fine.) So yes, the Social Justice Warriors would freak out about a Blazing Saddles where characters use racial jibes and play stupid about the film's overall message. They stupidly outrage about things daily because it give them power -- and an income. Most of them are paid by media companies or political agitation groups to freak out whenever possible. They get attention and money to play stupider than they really are -- and they're already plenty stupid for real.

There have been a lot of "remakes" and "reboots" of older movies, and the reason was to sanitize them and make them more socially coherent with the present.
And then they go out of style again soon, because the timeless qualities to them were lost.
What the SJW's and their ilk want to end is anything of the common culture that exists to bind us together, both in the present and bound us to the past. They want to dictate what culture is allowed to be, and how they define it. Revisionism.
Hence all the remakes of older movies, to redefine what was once a popular idea into some more current and PC.
I saw Blazing Saddles at the theater when it first came out. There was this black lady behind me that I thought was going to die of a heart attack, she was laughing so hard. Black people got the movie, and pretty much loved the humor.

That movie had so much potential, ruined by going for the simple Hollywood ending.
Remember the trailer that implied that Chris Prat was woken up on purpose? They had a number of scenes where someone (either him or Jennifer Laurence) would say something like "hey robot bartender guy, you are just a robot you can't feel", and every time they would cut to the bartender who would look a way or would get an almost pained look on his face. How much better would that movie have been if it had turned out that the bartender AI got lonely and woke up Chris Prat, who in turn got lonely and woke up Jennifer Laurence?
More than that, they had 3 or 4 cases at the end of the movie where it looked like Chris Prat was going to die. They should have killed him off and had the movie end with JL looking over some guy's pod and saying to herself "please don't do it. Please don't do it".
Change those 2 things and that move is awesome. As it stands, that movie was a lame, boring, chick flick in space.
Now back to lurking.

Yeah some of it doesn't but some does. Some of Eddie Murphy's stuff didn't age well either, but mostly because of cultural shifts. Things that resonate like his stories about kids in his youth just aren't true about kids any longer.

And not just comedy. James Bond, "Live and Let Die" was FULL of black stereotypes ( intentional I think as it seemed to nod to the then current "blaxploitation" films).

I grew up sharing a room with my brother, and every piece on that album (like the bit about the line down the middle of the room and a big fight if either one touched the other side) was a perfect description of every night of our lives.

...
I don't want to body shame fat people (being one myself -- or at least recovering), but this insistence that Everyone Should Be Fat is -- well, how is different than Everyone Must Be Thin?
Or this: Trans people want you to accept they were born that way. Fine, whatever. But then they whine you won't have sex with them -- because, you're not gay.
If I'm to accept that gays and trans are both real and "born that way," should they not be compelled to also accept that STRAIGHTS are real and born that way?
They're making the case that the only real sexual orientation is gay or trans -- and straight people are basically just sexually confused gay and trans people, in the closet, because they're not daring enough to find their REAL sexuality.
Um, no.

Wonder Woman was fun.
...
it was very much like Captain America -- including the first half (the origin) being far more interesting and fun than the second (the villain conflict).
Though at least Wonder Woman's villain conflict wasn't mostly just a jumble of montage shots of various unrelated engagements, but mostly just a straightforward march to the villain's location.
Both movies ended with a guy named Steve taking control of an advanced kinda-german-but-mostly-mad-scientist superplane loaded up with superweapons, and having to decide whether to self sacrifice rather than let it reach its target.
Both movies also had the Mad Scientist Germans killing a roomful of loyal Germans and taking over the advanced sciences division.

Leslie Nielson was at his best when he was playing a straight character in absurd situations, when he started playing a goofball he wasn't nearly as funny.
Part of what makes Airplane so hysterical is totally lost on younger people who never saw all those straight dramatic actors known for their serious roles being so hilarious for the first time ever. And it was a spoof of the Airport movies which were huge but now pretty well forgotten.

At the end... she starts inventing new powers, like Superman inventing the Saran Wrap Superman Symbol Shield at the end of Superman II.
These OP characters are very limited, because they can only fight weird monsters and cosmic gods. When Wonder Woman fights Germans, she's... well she's badass, but she wipes them out so easily it's not very suspenseful.
Especially at the end when she gains a lot of Flash's superspeed.
One thing I like about Captain America is that he's badass, but not so OP that six or eight well-trained mercs or German security agents can't give him a rough time. He can fight people besides weird cosmic super-monsters and it's kind of interesting.

I don't disagree. DC has made Wonder Woman into Superman's equal in power or near it.
But the movie was at least partially about Wonder Woman discovering who and what she was. So what she could do grew as she tried more things.
I agree that Steve Rodgers Captain America is a much more relatable or 'realist' superhero. It's part of what made Cap 2 such a good spy flick.

well not me specifically. But it's a media story we see a lot, about trans people complaining straight people discriminate against them by not accepting that they're girls (or boys).
or-- even -- trans people who say they're "gay" (like that guy who says he's a girl, but is "so gay" for loving girls) and then complain lesbians won't have sex with them. Because, weirdly enough, lesbians aren't interested in penis most of the time.
Strange, I know.

One of Marvel's advantages over DC was that Marvel didn't have Superman or the Flash -- two OP characters, especially the former, who pushed the power level of the whole universe into unrelatable territory.
Yes, Marvel did have some OP characters like Thor and Hulk, but they weren't as OP as Superman. And they tended to be off on their own adventures, kinda only dipping into the main Marvel universe here and there.
DC of course had Batman, a good street level character, but they had to OP him as well to make him useful in battles where Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, and Green Lantern are all fighting.
As some say, Batman became "Bat-God."
It's increasingly untenable to claim Batman is a normal human with just extraordinary training. In fact, I think I heard that DC was hinting he might be a metahuman.
Which would kinda reboot the character, but it would begin to explain the otherwise inexplicable.

PC is the farce, funny when it's so over the top at times, like that recent pic here of the hero guy carrying a woman and child, versus the punk kid with the nose ring.
The PC kid is good comedy. Or the 57 sexes .... hilarious. Except the part where they are serious and they get people fired or injured, and turn our country into a commie third world banana republic. Other than that ... comedy of the absurd. But Saturday night live only does lame comedy trying to make Trump look like the goof, ignoring all the good PC material right in their face.

Moonlighting was a lot of fun but I couldn't ever get to like Cybill Shepard. Willis basically carried that show.
The episode where they all spoke in Dr Seuss was hilarious though.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 22, 2017 06:19 PM (39g3+)
and in Dead and Loving it (which is also almost a scene by scene parody of the original Dracula), out of the many funny scenes I think that the funniest, which most don't realize unless they've heard some commentary, is the one where they have to drive a stake through Lucy's heart, since she has become a vampire herself.
Mel Brooks, as Van Helsing, instructs Harker (Stephen Weber from Wings) how to do it, and then steps out of the room. The reason he steps out is that Brooks knew, as Weber did NOT know when filming this, that there was going to be a HUGE explosion of blood that was going to soak him from head to toe. It blows all over him and Weber just stands there, speechless except for "oh my god." You hear Brooks saying "she's not dead yet, hit her again, so he does, and the 2nd explosion is even bigger than the first. The disgust you hear from Weber is authentic. Then Brooks says (from off screen) "I think you need to hit her again!" and Weber says, in the most disgusted voice possible, "No. She's Dead." and just drops the hammer on the ground.
That scene gets funnier each time I see it!

I like the Amazon's level of power. When a bunch of Turks land with G98's...it doesn't all go the Amazon's way.
That's why I think they should have stuck with Wonder Woman just being able to deflect bullets with her magic bracers, rather than being basically invulnerable and immune to gas, etc.
But on the other hand, it's a superhero movie. It is kinda fun to see someone charging a machine gun nest and taking it out single-handed.
You know, they never did explain those bracers in the movie or the other magic items she has on.

Basically. In some ways, he was even more powerful. His biggest weakness is that he was, at heart, still a 1940's little boy, so he was very gullible and not wise at all. So he was incredibly easy to fool.

But if I'm going to knock her, it's for... I think women accept this Harry Potter magic fighting stuff more than men. Men want to see actual fighting where we can see a basically "real" fight, just carried out with superpowers. Maybe women don't care about that as much and don't mind Harry Potter style magical combat.

she did show a lot of skill in the Room Fights in that belgium town, and some of her moves were really inventive and cool (like using the shield to slide along the floor before jumping up into a roudhouse kick), but by that point, we'd seen her show so much strength and speed (and ability to block almost any bullet) that her incredible skill, while present, was just kind of unnecessary. When you've got about half of superman's power and about a third of the Flash's speed, you don't *need* skill, really.
At the end, she didn't really use skill, she just used super strength, super speed, and some force field effect that came out of nowhere.

I like the director too -- color in a DCEU comic book movie! What an idea!!! And having a hero who is, get this, actually morally centered and "good"! What will they think of next!!!
But if I'm going to knock her, it's for... I think women accept this Harry Potter magic fighting stuff more than men. Men want to see actual fighting where we can see a basically "real" fight, just carried out with superpowers. Maybe women don't care about that as much and don't mind Harry Potter style magical combat.
Which I kind of hate.
But man, was Fantastic beasts unexpectedly fun!
Posted by: ace at September 22, 2017 06:26 PM (8rNrN)
Harry Potter stuff?
I like Harry Potter stuff in... Harry Potter books and movies.
I want uniqueness and kick-ass fighting. We like the mixed martial arts here, the building and wall climbers (in real life, pretty amazing), and in movies, I want to be engaged and challenged.
Wonder Woman, like you said, started out interesting, with the way the women amazonians fought, but then when she realized her strengths, to me, it became a bit boring. And, then unrealistic. If she had such strength, why bother with anything else. That bugged me. She didn't need to do anything else, because she had no weaknesses (other than her love...). ho hum
It takes quite an incredible movie to make me happy, however.

Mel Brooks has the biggest cojones of any man I've ever heard of. He had absolutely no fear. The guy hit on women he should have had zero chance with and was so funny and charming they fell for him.
Part of his work in WW2 during the Bulge was faking sounds and objects so it seemed like there were soldiers present when there were not. He also played music and stuff to annoy the Germans across the lines. His life is truly amazing, the man is a stunning talent.

She uses her sword against Germans, but doesn't seem to cut them.
Why not?
If you look closely -- this flashes by so fast -- she's holding the sword by the BLADE, htting them with the HILT.
Which is a real thing -- swords can't cut through plate armor, so it was a real thing to hit armored opponents with the heavier hilt, holding it by the end of the blade.

Part of his work in WW2 during the Bulge was faking sounds and objects so it seemed like there were soldiers present when there were not.
Sounds like Bob Newhart's character in Hell Is For Heroes.

And that whole "cloak" thing was dumb. It fooled no one, except when it was convenient.
remember they "hid" a klingon bird of prey in a park in Star Trek IV?
Yeah, no one walked into that cloaked spaceship. No birds flew into it...

I haven't quite figured out why a new thread automatically kills the old, when its still a lively conversation
Because it's the Top Post.
The Top Post always pushes down the old posts. Pushes 'em down like a fat woman.

Ever have a really good sandwich for lunch and you get home and your hands still smell like that sandwich? I don't want dinner -- not because I'm not hungry, but I don't want my hands to smell like whatever dreck I'm going to end up cooking for myself.

Many years ago I happened to stumble on a blog called Round Beautiful Woman or something like that.
It was blog by a very fat woman about her life as a "beautiful ROUND woman" and all her challenges as a fat woman.
Her theme was always getting "pushed down" because she was fat (or Round, as she liked to put it).
So I tell the Hostages about my find. Rosetta checks out the blog and thought it hilarious. Rosetta came up with the meme "pushed down like a fat woman." God rest his soul.

Speaking of, Bill Clinton called "Make America Great Again" a racist dog-whistle. Yet he used it several times in his campaign. Hillary's 2008 used it, too. We knew the Clintons have their own US Code, but they have their own Speech Code, too.
And that's the problem with "hate speech": "It's Different When We Do It(tm).

Went to Academy to pick up a deerstand for Mrs. E. She kept flinging shit in the shopping cart like 7.62X39 in a 'cute' pouch, .22mag to feed her Keltec PMR, and I just said 'whatever'. I threw in a Fobus paddle holster for my G2.
And by the way, which of you knuckleheads had to bring up Oreos? Huh? Damit.

They laughed, they loved
They fought, they drank
They jumped a lot of fences...
They robbed the rich, gave to the poor
Except what they kept for expenses!
So when other legends are forgotten
We'll remember back when
'Things Were Rotten';
Yay for Robin Hood!!
That's all from memory, baby.

Yeah but Veronica Lake & Freddy March = waaaaayyyy hotter in their movie than Novak & Stewart were in theirs. I highly recommend theirs. Plus it's a scream, and the ending is a great punchline on Lake's famous 'do.

Lawrence's character is faced with the SAME future as Pratt's. And rather than being selfish and risking ruining the life of one person as Pratt's did, she risks ENDING the lives of EVERYBODY on board the ship.
Without one. inkling. of. remorse.
Yeah, that DOES sound kinda chick-flickish after all, doesn't it? And the SJW's still managed to be offended....
