A winning comment on one of the endless 'kids today are too sensitive and would never allow Mel Brooks to make Blazing Saddles now' posts. I'm still seeing stars from the irony hitting me like a 2x4. Tell me that you missed the entire point of a book/film without telling me that you missed the entire point of a book/film.
You could never make Blazing Saddles today because people would say, "Hey, this is just Blazing Saddles, this movie already exists!"
You couldn't make blazing saddles today because Boots Riley is busy with other projects.
Holy fuck I had never thought of this but I would LOVE this
But if you did, any youtuber making 5 hour long video essays about how having women in talking roles ruined Star Wars would make sure to complain that even westerns have gone woke now.
The ending of The Professionals where the mercenaries don't force the young woman to go back to her rich old husband she ran away from? Woke as shit. Plus it had a black dude. Double woke. Shame on you, the year 1966.
TBF that's some development hell to be started in 2010 and not get released until 2022 and perform poorly at the box office. How have I never heard of this? And it has Mel Brooks and Richard Pryer as screenwrites!
You could never make Blazing Saddles now, also Django Unchained grossed half a billion dollars doing the same thing Blazing Saddles did but more explicitly.
When the communist revolution comes, there's going to be a Department of Analogies, and anyone caught posting rhetorical comparisons without a license is going to get the :pit:
They'd never get away with making Train Pulling Into Station today.
Roald Dahl was literally antifa people, this conspiracy goes all the way to the top!
Mara Wilson, the woman who played Matilda in the movie, used to be on twitter and is a pretty cool lady who would probably mock this post.
It sounds like an argument that her dumb ass cousin, Ben Shapiro, would come up with.
And much like that kid in Matilda, I am forced to take in gallon after gallon of this rhetorical diarrhea
What makes this even funnier is that the things they claim are “woke and corrupting culture” are SO much more laughable then 20 years ago.
Like we went from “the right is mad because Deadspace doesn’t show the embryos causally being harvested for stem cells with enough severity”
To
“The right is mad at the Deadpsace remake because of gender neutral bathrooms.”
The whole thing is torture, and boy howdy do I feel like revolver ocelot right now
