It can’t be remade in today’s WOKE world.

Neither could Blazing Saddles or Airplane! The Movie.

No jokes about people in any way, shape or function. Doesn’t leave much.

For a joke to be funny, it must have, at its core, a grain of truthfulness...................

Blazing saddles is a biting indictment of racism.

right from the beginning where the racist guys are shown as the idiots and the black guys are the cultured folks.

Wonderful film

Movies like that can be made today. Just hire Hell's Angels and Rooftop Koreans for event security.

And the line to attend would probably wrap around the venue several times. Because there really has not been a funny movie for a long time.

I don’t know if anyone is a Dune fan but I was disappointed but not surprised in an omission in the new movie. In the book the Barron is a a ravenous homosexual and groomer of young boys. Nothing of the sort in the movie.
