Blazing Saddles is really sort of a unique success, those parody movies are usually such a mess, and it is not NOT a mess, but there is a discipline and pace and quality to it that puts it over. I imagine having a great writer helped.

Good news, folks! The guy who creeped on underage girls and sent an unsolicited DM to a woman asking her to “write a song about 9 Dick’s [sic] of different sized and ethnic origins hanging above [her] face, and then in the lyrics describe how they each splatter [her] with semen” beat the rap!

...beg pardon?

My Favorite Year, very under-acknowledged movie.

When the sources are the daily mail and the sun, I sincerely doubt any story.

Blazing Saddles alone is a greater contribution to cinema than many lauded screenwriters are able to manage in their entire careers. Based on the quotes and anecdotes in this article, he was also just a real mensch as well.

This is going to make a certain set of ‘Rick and Morty’ fans insufferable. Well, more insufferable. Well, probably the same level of insufferable but in a different way.

I hear Jeff Garlin’s schedule has opened up too.

“My money is useful!”

I think this shows Joss Whedon was smart for being nice to some people who could then say “well, he was always nice to me” rather than just pissing everyone off.

Better to have Drac be an asshole boss than be the boss of your asshole, amirite???

Nic Cage supports NO MAN, other than Nic Cage.

This might be the best opening line of a movie review that I have ever read.

In 2007 the pound was worth twice the dollar. It slowly tanked since the Tories destroyed the economy post 2008-9 financial crash, and has occasionally been at parity recently.

That’s a sad comment on the state of the UK economy. When I was a kid £33,000 would have been over $40k, I’m sure. Maybe even up to $45k.

Diaz strikes me as someone who busted her ass & starred in as many movies as possible for the better part of two decades, squirrelled away several million dollars & peaced out while she was still young enough to enjoy it. I don’t blame her one bit & sure don’t blame her for wanting to get back out. She sounds like she…

And all thanks to The Rock deciding that Black Adam could only fight Superman and was too good to battle Shazam (even though Black Adam was created specifically to be a nemesis for Shazam.) Ironically, Black Adam might have been better off with a no-name actor in the title role.

Levi is a schmuck who’s always wrong about everything, but that said...

The first film had the boardroom scene with monsters biting off faces.

All these people need Crash Davis to coach them for their interviews.
