Blazing Saddles was written by Richard Pryor.
“How about “Blazing Saddles”?
One of the greatest Mel Brooks movies ever if not the greatest. I have it on DVD and haul it out now and then just to remind myself of what we have lost.
I read a piece from an interview with Brooks where he said those movies he made including Saddles and History of the World and Space Balls could never be made today.
Jerry Seinfeld also commented that stand up comedy was dead because performers are terrified of saying the wrong thing.
It happened because we let it happen and will continue until we stop it.
A favorite.
That one was good. In the Camptown Races scene, Brooks was making fun of White people while appearing to make fun of Black people. That was brilliant.
A favorite.
I always thought that Blazing Saddles made white people look stupid.
