    The Inquisition
    --Let's begin
    The Inquisition
    --Look out friend
    We're on a mission
    To convert the Jews

    We're gonna teach them
    --Wrong from right
    We're gonna help them
    --See the light
    And make an offer
    That they can't refuse


    :lol:

    I remember laughing about this movie with friends when I was in the 6th grade. I don't think we even understood a lot of the humor.

    I'm a little worried Brooks is going to try to recapture that magic. Only a miracle can save this...

    I’d imagine a lot of the ideas have been in place for a while. He’s getting help from Nick Kroll, which in my opinion, is a good choice so we’ll see.

    Eh, it was funny when it came out. But much of the humor is not only out of place now, but ... even most non liberal adults would find the humor childish compared to much of the humor in tv and movies today. If they update the humor, it's not going to be a "Part 2", not technically anyway.

    Of all the Mel Brooks films, the one that I like the least in rewatch is Men in Tights. It's just...not great, IMO. Not even because of a few sexist and homophobic jokes in there, the when thing seems to be specifically ripping on things from that one Robin Hood movie that had come out right before this, which is just not gonna be funny to someone that isn't familiar with that film. :shrug:

    You know what jews in space means? Jewish space lasers. Pew Pew.

    Of course, for the Trumpistas there will be Hitler on ice. Or as we call it trump resorts in greenland.

    Perhaps we should be mining a few more of his predictions, because he pretty much nailed spaceballs, or as we know it the Trump Administration..

    Hee! When the movie came out, the critic for the local alternative paper moaned how all the gags were just recycled from Mel Brooks' short-lived 1976 Robin Hood TV series.

    I like the Costner version, too. Alan Rickman steals the whole movie.

    Robin Hood: Men in Tights has a gag about that film's Robin being able to speak with an authentic English accent, but that's absurd since the (early Middle) English of that time was very different from modern English. Costner's California accent is no less authentic for the period than Elwes' English one.

    If you heard authentic 12th Century English, you wouldn't understand it! And all the nobles would be speaking Norman French!

    Really? I mean, this scene?

    Rickman was a fine actor, but even when I saw the film in the theater, I thought it was several orders of magnitude wrong (and it doesn't even show the full part).

    If there isn’t a surprise cameo of Jews in Space with lasers that can start forest fires it won’t be able to get a 10/10 with me.

    When he was starting out in Hollywood and was writing for Syd Caesar, they got into an argument, and Syd dangled Mel out the window of like a 30th floor building. Mel kept working for Syd.

    I'm up to episode 4 and while some of them are landing really well, most of them are mixed to blergh for me at best. On the nose is okay, up the nose is too much. It doesn't feel like Mel's style. It feels more like Mel signed off on it, but the creative duties are being handled by more current comedians. That's not to say it's bad, but when I watch Mel Brooks, I want Mel's take.

    Still, it seems more like a send-off for one of comedy's greatest minds, and I'm trying to roll with the real duds because I can see what everyone's trying to do, but yeah, it's mostly miss for me. :/
