Buyers: stop being boring and clogging America’s roads with generic crossovers, buy something interesting.
Not bad. Give me a poor spec with cloth interior and none of them gimmicky tech for 30k and it can slide into my car hole any time.
I know there are wonky angles with the swoop back but, dang - I like it.
Counterpoint: daring design = good
Please please please don’t let this be the last film credit for Mel Brooks. He deserves so much better.
On this site, an analysis of the political content of a movie, with nothing else, counts as a review.
Miata Is Always The Answer. Is an acronym. For Miata. I can’t believe I never noticed this before. [Mega facepalm]
Blazing Saddles...at least aspired to comment on the bigotry it depicts.
Nowhere did he say that any part of Blazing Saddles shouldn’t exist, just that parts of it hit different today. If anything, he’s making the point that an R-rated movie from 48 years ago is somehow more progressive than its own 2022 remake aimed at kids.
“Even in a cartoon, someone like Hank being oppressed in some exotic land is exactly the kind of toxic online strawman that is morally reprehensible for a studio to turn that into a motion picture in 2022.”
this movie looks like something that was stuck on ‘uploading 99%’ since 2011 and just finally finished.
Back in my day, an F used to mean something. This is just a bad D- movie.
This movie looks awful, but I’m wondering if Tsai would mind enlightening us on which parts of Blazing Saddles he thinks shouldn’t exist. Like, be specific. And when he talks about “today’s standards,” who is setting those?
Remember in the summer of 2020 when streaming services took down a bunch of episodes from old sitcoms featuring characters in blackface, even the ones where the joke was “hey, look at this racist idiot who thinks it’s okay to do blackface”? Well, I think there may be similar reactions to that little old lady who calls…
“Blazing Saddles got away with some stuff that’s problematic by today’s standards.”
This is my shocked face. middlemen who add unnecessary costs to a business transaction want to remain relevant.
