So it’s a name brand like Kleenex or Black & Decker?

Yeah, Cuisinart is a whole brand of products now, it’s just the food processor that people associate it with the most.

It’s a very iconic movie! Even Lucas agreed, take out the humor and at its core it is a very engaging hero’s journey. I think my favorite bit of Spaceballs history is this angry fan letter sent soon before its initial wide release. quote:If you are a true STAR WARS fan who cares deeply about the Saga, I urge you to please read this letter. The person writing this wishes to stay anonymous as my only want is to protect the integrity and good image of my beloved galaxy, and I need no attention to myself. I am very serious about what you are about to read and it's extremely important for everyone that loves STAR WARS to listen to what I have to say and take it seriously. A disgusting movie spoof of SW called SPACEBALLS will be released soon. I was unfortunate to see an advance preview of it and am abhorred by what I saw. I consider myself to be a dedicated and loyal SW fan. I love that universe as my home and those characters as my best friends, and I hate anyone that does anything against SW. Considering that, I know what I'm talking about in this letter. Well, SPACEBALLS goes way beyond just doing something against SW. The whole movie is one long ludicrous, hideous put-down of everything in SW. It makes Leia look like a gunslinging whore, makes Han look like he's a stupid idiot, and makes Voda look like a foolish master of nothing. SPACEBALLS then goes on to reach the height of bad taste in making fun of every other character, place and thing in the SW galaxy. I was outraged to see how the movie had the gall to ridicule and laugh at all the things in SW that the fans take very seriously. SPACEBALLS makes all the SW characters look like jerks and reduces all the intimate aspects of the Saga, like Leia and Han's relationship or Luke's Force training, into a series of uncalled for and tasteless jokes. I find nothing funny about making fun of SW. No real fan would, either. This sick movie should be considered high sacrilege and extreme offense against all SW fandom. I ask everyone reading this to please don't go see the movie. To be serious, I beg you in the good name of SW, DO NOT go see this movie in any way, shape or form. If you love Leia, and the others, and if you are a real, true fan, you will stay far away from SPACEBALLS. Tell everyone you know - - Everyone -- that the movie is a complete absurdity and tell them to go see it. I beg you to spread the bad word about this insult to SW called SPACEBALLS. No one can call themselves a true SW fan if they go to see or support in any way a movie or person that makes fun of SW. You and I and all of SW fandom owe it to the characters to see that SPACEBALLS is successful. It would not be fair to them (the characters) if a movie putting them down is a success. We can't let it be. It is a threat to the reputation and integrity and good image of the SW saga. Spread the bad word and send letters of protest to MGM Studios. DO NOT go to see SPACEBALLS. If you truly love STAR WARS, you won't go to see it and you'll do your best not to let anyone else see it, either. This letter is to be taken dead seriously and deserves deep concern and action from SW fans. DO NOT go to see SPACEBALLS. Our Saga's reputation is at stake. https://fanlore.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Star_Wars_Fans_Regarding_the_Movie_%22Spaceballs%22 And this Siskel & Ebert review is pretty good too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lwr-wUYqd2o ruddiger fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Jan 30, 2020 |

"I'm surrounded by morons" is one of the few cases of the TV edit making more sense than the original line. And I'm going to stick by that opinion until I die.

I mean both the Prequel/Sequel trilogies and side movies are referencing the same thing Spaceballs is, so yeah there's gonna be some overlap.

People who try to say Spaceballs doesn't hold up are highly suspect to me, and I think they're probably the same kind of people that think the prequels are underrated.

The scenes in the original Star Wars involving Luke & Han trying to breakout and rescue Princess Leia on the Death Star are literally only like, a degree or two removed from just plain being Spaceballs itself. It may not come off quite that strong in the context of the whole movie, but seriously, everything between Obi-Wan splitting off from the rest of the group to the moment he encounters Vader, taken in isolation, and you might as well call it "It's Always Sunny on the Death Star." It's just gag after gag and it is indeed self-aware as gently caress*. This goofy side of Star Wars rears its head again at the climax when the first X-Wing pilot to bite it is an incompetent fat guy named PORKINS! It's only gotten moreso with the Special Edition adding a thunk sound to the background Storm Trooper hitting his head on the door. *(The whole movie is hyper self-aware, really. People forget but Star Wars was almost like the Kill Bill of the 70s.)
