My father was a HUGE Mel Brooks fan, and I’m not sure if I saw Spaceballs or Men in Tights first but both were on heavy, heavy rotation throughout my childhood. I had them both practically memorized at one point. There’s only one other person from my mini-generation (elder millennial) at my current job and he was…

Yeah. Hell the movie made it even clearer than the original book.

They’re not indigenous or one race even. The film clearly shows this white savior is a dangerous, destructive, person.

Having taught Gen z college kids for a few years, I can absolutely say that they are not nearly as sex forward as they present. Like, they conceptually understand that being sex positive is a good thing, they know how to sound sex positive, but have absolutely no concept of what that means on a fundamental level. Put…

These are all freakishly talented and funny people at SNL, but for the life of me I can’t understand why they always always always go for the lowest hanging fruit in their sketch jokes. Like dude, it’s like all their writing is just “what’s the first thing I think of? Cool let’s write the whole week based on that.”

I was 12 when it came out.  I’m with you.

Right there with you. Watched this move repeatedly in my younger years. Only thing I knew Richard Lewis from until Curb came along.

Until Curb, this was what I knew him for. I know Men in Tights isn’t Brooks’ best work, but I absolutely love it, and Richard Lewis is a standout for sure.

Another standout is Eric Allan Kramer’s Little John. His delivery sends me into laughing fits every time.

I love how the movie breaks the fourth wall to poke fun at Kevin Costner’s lack of a British accent, and then doesn’t even bother asking Lewis to do one at all. It’s Richard Lewis playing Richard Lewis as Prince John, and it totally works. 😂

The first thing that pops into my head when Richard Lewis is mentioned is him saying “It’s a good change. That’s a good change.”

It’s the issue that most piques my interest in this story, yes.

(nods) yes I for sure know who any of these people are

Imagine being assigned to write about this for low money on a blog. Desolation!

Brie Larson, Alison Brie, Benedict Camembert, so many fromages.

Funny they had plenty of time for that awful cold open, but couldn’t squeeze in a very funny 2 minute pre-recorded sketch.

The cut for time sketch being better than what’s on the show seems to happen rather frequently

This was way funnier than all but 1 or 2 sketches from the show.  

Stop reading,  or do you just like being outraged and ranting?  

“Tenet” was... fine? I certainly don’t regret seeing it. But this weird thing where “we” (speaking loosely) decide that certain people (in this case, a director) are “geniuses”, and thus everything they do needs to be constantly reappraised and re-evaluated until that self-evident genius becomes apparent, needs to…

While any jail or prison time is massive overkill for this, last I checked ignorance of the law is not a valid defense. He willingly and knowingly flew the drone. Whether or not he was aware of the law is largely irrelevant.
