Or he was paid a shat ton and just wanted to make a comedy and not an art piece like his earlier work.

agreed, but it is not a good film. Sadly it's the only Brooks film I ever saw in a theater at release. But it had some very good jokes.

to be fair, it was the 80's, they probably DID only see them a few times.

actually, my favorite of the non-standard Brooks films is To Be Or Not To Be. Love it's vibe, it's madcap action, and I love any film where Nazis are shown to be incompetent.

I prefer Young Frankenstein. Blazing Saddles has more outright comedy but as a package, YF has a better slicker presentation and the jokes hit better.

naaawwwt exactly the boldest choice. But It's still one of my favorite films.

Yes! I did this with my FF3 cart - left it running all day with a controller with a wrench rubber banded to it. I kept on skipping off to call my grandmother and asking her to check and see if it was still running. goddam it was - I got my full rack of 99's, except for poor Locke, who because he was off on his own…

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in…

No sillier then the TARDIS, or the Flux Capacitor, or any of thousands of items in video games.

It is funny how the princess unicorn with wings who saved the world on multiple occasions can't get a cab in Equestria's analog for New York…. then again, that's New York for you. (I'm a New Yorker…)

most I know don't at all.

vore is eating - like Carnivore. Not Canabalism, persay, but more like being enveloped. Macro is, as the name suggests - obscenely oversized body parts. No, it's not always the ones you suspect.

there's massive amounts of EVERYTHING porn on Tumblr. That hardly strikes the bronies as anything odd.

Here's an even deeper cut joke: at the time, Randy Savage owned the rights to the name "Gorgeous George" in wrestling. The original Gorgeous George sold them when he retired in the 70's, and eventually they came to Randy, and he then let WCW use them to give him a new valet, a woman named Gorgeous George. Which proves…

what's funny is my uncle is a wrestler, and I have met Haystacks Calhoun and I can indeed confirm, at least when I met him, he was indeed a mountain of a man.

I'm a knife. Knife'n around. cutcutcutcutcutcutcut…..

My only thought the whole movie was "Gee, this is like that Green Hornet remake… and god that is terrible.".

fun fact: in the book, it wasn't The Wizard Of Oz which was referenced. It was Snow White (makes sense - 1939/40). The film was produced by MGM, so they couldn't use Snow White (though it is referenced in the Dept. Store window, so they went to their late 30's children's film.

My mother remembered and loved this film when we were kids. A few years ago trolling around I found a copy of it on the internet and I made DVDs of it for her and a few other Christmas Story-loving friends. Digital Age hero if you ask them.

Christmas 94 I think it was. The game was Mario All Stars. Loved that game to death but we coudln't afford SNES games very often, so as a treat, mom took us over and let us rent it from a store called Alice in Videoland (the building is still there, though the store closed down 4-5 years ago). I stayed up all…
