"The people are revolting" is the one that got me the first time I saw it

I love Spaceballs and think it's hilarious, but I am with you that it isn't a great film, like Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein, which are works of absolute art. It feels like he was on his A game joke-wise, but that maybe he didn't love the material he was satirizing like with Blazing Saddles or Young

NOTHING done in a Mel Brooks movie is unintentional. He is meticulous and loves to go lowbrow as much as highbrow

Dark Helmet slashing the guy on the film crew is 4th wall breaking at its best

I believe you misread, it didn't say "despite knowing they're grating"

As far as Social D, with a lot of punk bands it's easy to love them live, but then try to listen to an album later and think "who the fuck is this? This isn't who I just saw!"
I saw Social D live before I heard them recorded at a skate festival with The Vandals and Adolescents and a bunch of other groups, and they were

What are you saying?! Are you denying the timeless, transcendent brilliance of

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, ack!

He is…but in sideways history

You mean it's not a sequel to GI Jane?

Ah, so the ol' reverse George RRRRR Martin
