And Shakespeare was so unwoke with EVERYTHING he wrote!

We should dig him up and spit on him.

All of the silent and golden eras of Hollywood are “racist” because blacks didn’t run the whole thing. Never mind that many, many Jews did, considering how anti-Semitic the left is now. (And on that note, I think that the fact that Ocasio-Cortez had an openly anti-Semitic campaign volunteer, one who stood right behind her as she gave her primary victory speech, needs a lot more attention in the public eye than it’s getting. I’m doing what I can, but of course I don’t have a media outlet, not even a tiny little blog.)

Animal house and other comedy films like the Airplane series, Cheech and Chong etc.. IMHO all sucked. Python included. I don’t recall ever finishing any of those. I called them tax deduction films because that is the only reason Hollywood would never make films that bad, if it’s a possible at all to get a tax deduction from a poor performing film...

You know, when you take away white western male contributions to art, culture, science, there really isn’t much left that is worth a spit.

For God’s sake don’t tell this guy Blazing Saddles is on Amazon Prime. I watched it yesterday for the first time in many years. Talk about politically incorrect!

Great film.

I remember seeing it - having NO idea what it was about - with a few friends then the next day I was going through Fraternity Rush at U of Oregon and ‘on the set’ of the movie.

I already knew which house I was going to pledge as I had several friends there...

Turns out that two of my Brothers were extras in the film.

We celebrated our 75th Toga party the next year.

Fun times!

The left is truly paradoxical. It demands the total destruction of what little remains of the tattered social fabric and morality, while simultaneously wielding a fascist hammer to enforce very tightly defined rules on conduct of every kind.

The establishment as portrayed in Animal House was at least consistent. The modern establishment says "safe sex and taxpayer-funded condoms, also buttsex. No discrimination, also keep your religion to yourself or get fined. You must love Islam AND gays."

My 17 year old just saw this movie the other day for the first time. I don’t think I ever saw him laugh so loud or long.

So it’s wrong to refer to a woman’s breasts as “major league yabaho’s”???

Exactly what I was thinking. These liberals are stupid beyond repair.

The entire premise of Animal House is liberals against the constricting, wretched conservative establishment. Who are the butt of jokes as the plot of the movie? Neidermeyer and Dean Wormer. These two characters are the representation and personification of the Conservative establishment who are pilloried.

Man, liberals. All emotion, no brains.

Yeah, that probably wouldn't fly today.
