Spaceballs being a later Mel Brooks flick is so packed with jokes and gags even if over half go thud now it still is pretty entertaining. (Notable exception to this is Men in Tights, but that was bad even on release) Plus John Candy and Rick Moranis! I watched it a few weeks ago and enjoyed it quite a bit. Probably the 3rd best Alien movie too.

If you're going to poo poo on Mel Brooks for whatever reason, the easy target is RH: Men in Tights. It's largely based on one very specific film most people now haven't seen or barely remember. Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs will always work because Star Wars and Frankenstein are just common knowledge. You know those movies without having to see them. Blazing Saddles, The Producers, and High Anxiety work flawlessly without any knowledge of where they came from, and only get better the more knowledgeable of their origins you are. And you'd have to literally be the dumbest person living the farthest under a rock to not get History of the World.

They should make a movie version of The Secrets of Isis, that was the best TV show with a female superhero.

Oh this reminds me that Lindsay Ellis did a great video very recently about Mel Brooks and mostly The Producers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62cPPSyoQkE I was a huge Brooks fan growing up (and still am) and probably saw a few first time at too young an age to get all of what was going in but still loved them. And now they just improve with age imo. Bonus points for bashing on Life Is Beautiful

Wonder Woman is portrayed by Gal Gadot who was in the IDF meaning she is someone whose family fled the nazis just to become nazis themselves. Captain America cut through all the horseshit and just killed nazis. Marvel wins again. Eat a dick, DC.

vermin posted:"Ethics of Satire about Nazis" Mel does it well, Chaplin did it well, using nazi imagery in non comedies is more fraught as actual nazis may think it's pretty badass (see: american history X)

Irradiation posted:Dracula Dead and Loving It is so much worse than Men in Tights. The only good part of that movie was Leslie Nielson's chemistry with Peter MacNicol, but it felt less like Mel Brooks comedy and more like an unused Zucker Abrahams Zucker sketch. I like Spaceballs, but it doesn't hold a candle to Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles, which are tied for greatest comedies of all time. Gene Wilder's Frankenstein is his best role ever, even better than Willy Wonka.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Captain America cut through all the horseshit and just killed nazis. No, Cap killed Hydra-ites or whatever. The Hydra people may have started as Nazis, but in the context of the film, I'm pretty sure they just wanted to conquer the planet. They didn't talk a lot about murdering all the Jews. Just one way CA:TFA sucked. It was like subbing out the Nazis for the Reds in the fourth Indiana Jones.

Captain America 1 is basically an Indiana Jones movie already, made by 2nd Generation Lucas/Spielberg guy Joe Johnston.

Captain America 1 is so drat generic I can't remember anything about it other than the one good thing in the movie; captain america spreading propaganda on stage Actually, I remember the end too. Agent Smith held a little cube in his hands and dissolved or something. Jesus christ marvel is bad at villains

You'd think The Dark Knight showed the world how important a good villain is and how much a good villain can elevate a movie, but no other movie has come close to making a fun interesting villain like that. They almost accidentally got a decent villain with Loki, but then they never did anything fun with him. Even in Avengers he barely does anything

I have a cousin who weighs around 350 El bees and he looks 45 but he's in his late 20s and he goes and watches all the marvel movies multiple times in the theater and he recommends them to everyone. Always making sure to add, "don't miss the after the credits scene!"

I guess it helps that even though I'm only 30, my dad is 77 and I've seen Errol Flynn's Adventures of Robin Hood a few times. Also that I absolutely adore Disney's Robin Hood. That is probably my 2nd fav Disney film. First being Sword in the Stone.
