aloud?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Werewolf?
Igor: There.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What?
Igor: There, wolf. There, castle.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Why are you talking that way?
Igor: I thought you wanted to.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, I don't want to.
Igor: [shrugs] Suit yourself. I'm easy.
That list could be extended considerably, especially with a lot of the groundbreaking, experimental films of the 1970s.
Barbarella. (Though there is rumor of a remake, there is no way they could reproduce the naughtiness and wit of the original.)
Zardoz. Underneath the weirdness of Sean Connery in a diaper, there was some real science fiction within.
THX-1138. Wonderfully dehumanized, nightmarish socialist sci-fi society.
A Clockwork Orange. A modernized version of this would hit too close to home in Britain. Imagine a Pakistani Muslim Alex being brainwashed to become a secular Labourite?
The President’s Analyst. A remarkably prescient movie of intrusive, voyeuristic government.
The Naked Prey. Not a snowball’s chance in Hell of this ever being remade.
From the Playboy interview of Mel Brooks -- they cut out a line immediately after that this that was deemed to be "in bad taste" (LOL!): Sheriff Bart says, "Excuse me, miss, you're sucking on my arm."
My favorite.movie.ever!!
Thanks for the pic. :)
Pinging you here, this is as funny as the Friday funnies, I thought you would enjoy it
His show had some of the most politically incorrect sketch comedy since Mel Brooks/Richard Pryor. And he got a lot of pressure from within the black community for it. Making sport of the cracker is perfectly acceptable, but don't ever turn a spotlight on the failings of black culture.
He was/is a brilliant social satirist.
Somebody could make a mint if they dared.
Don't forget that Richard Pryor was one of the main writers, as well.
“What Knockers!”
“Why, Thank you Doctor . . .”
I disagree. Money drives the film industry, like any other industry.
Borat and Bruno were very un PC and made big bucks.
Borat and Bruno make fun of “Joe 6-pack” so that is why they can be made.
Now that one is good for a out loud laugh. I once saw a movie back in the 50’s I think, where Jeff Chandler played an indian chief. You couldn’t get more white than Jeff Chandler....
I was hoping someone would bring them up. Chief Wild Eagle, played by Frank De Kova. Go figure. The Hakawi’s made that show one of my favorites. :-)
I let out with “Up yours, n*****!” just about every time I see Obama’s face is on the TV.
Blazing Saddles is described by many as politically incorrect, but I have never accepted that. It is stealthily very politically correct most of the time, although I don't hold it against the film. It really couldn't have been anything else.
The film uses the "N" word a lot, but everyone that does is made to look like an idiot. The racist townspeople are laughed at. Only by shedding their racism do they gain a sympathetic treatment. Everyone who remains racist receives their comeuppance. The only politically incorrect scene that I see in the film is at the end, when the riot breaks into a gay musical Hollywood set. There, the gay actors and director are portrayed stereotypically and somewhat negatively, although not completely unsympathetically.
As an aside, this scene is terrific in that I never fail to start caring whether they get the take right, and then we crash back into Blazing Saddles, and I think, "Oh yeah, I was watching a western."
Borat made fun of Jews. Bruno made fun of gays.
My kids were appalled when they watched it for the first time - “They can’t SAY that!” Part of the problem today - today’s younger folks are so brain washed with PC that they couldn’t conceive of voting against a black person. Public schools and colleges have fulfilled their ultimate purpose. Unrelated but somehow relevent: at a football game today a graduating college senior was introduced as earning a degree in “leisure studies”......is he now an expert in goofing off?
Hedley Lamarr: Qualifications?
