He insisted it stayed in.

It was heavily lampooning a type of western that doesn’t exist anymore because of how hard blazing saddles parodied it. The racism jokes were so prevalent because it was the thing most hidden in the wholesome western. In those, black people didn’t exist or were servants in the background.

Bird in a Blender posted:I suppose that’s what happens when you get a bunch of sketch comedians together to make a movie. Yeah, no idea if it's one of those "trivia" facts everyone has heard a million times at this point or not, but there was a stark divide between old-school actors like Judge Smails who wanted to read the script and do some capital A acting, and all the sketch comics who wanted to riff and ad-lib. Having the actors going in two different directions like that probably makes it real tough to edit together a movie that seems coherent.

I think every(?) racist bit in Blazing Saddles just denigrates the whites. Like every racist character is a stupid rear end in a top hat just getting constantly outwitted by Cleavon's Bugs Bunny routine. Which is why I like it so much more then say, your Caddyshack or Police Academy or Revenge of the Nerds which all need so... how are you with 'jokes' about sexual assault?

I couldn’t find the original tweet, but this video applies to a lot of old movies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVAEdihBAZQ Pretty sure Revenge of the Nerds or one of the sequels has full on rape played off as a joke.

I can't think of a single doctor I know that cared or recorded BMI outside of the requirements of the hospital/insurance systems. Its been largely ignored as a useful measurement for years, but again, insurance uses it for a lot a poo poo so it affects practice.

We didn't watch 40 Year Old Virgin in our revisit of 2000's comedies, but standouts for not aging well in what we did watch were Eurotrip (predictable, probably was already not aging well when it came out) and Superbad.

Meanwhile Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle are still nearly perfect 2000's comedies. E: Okay Shaolin Soccer's special effects have aged pretty poorly actually. Kalli fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jun 16, 2023 |

Back to the Future kinda ages badly when you realize the implication that Marty McFly steals credit from a black musician at the end of the dance.

Fifty Three posted:I thought that was the point because it's happened countless other times in history In this case, the implication is that Chuck Berry got the revolutionary sound of Johnny B Goode from his cousin Marvin who got it from Marty McFly, rather than inventing it himself. But that's a surface level implication. In fact, Marty is creating a paradox - he was inspired by Chuck Berry, who he then inspired, so who actually invented the sound? It's one of several paradoxes created in the film series. We can also assume that Berry, listening on the phone, hears a Van Halen style solo at the end, and chooses not to incorporate that element into his future music... but what if he does? We don't hear a lot of music in the alternate timelines McFly creates, maybe there's this whole weird thing in the late 50s and into the 60s with vaguely Van Halen guitar solos.
