Guest Dmann2000 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 unfortunetely it's halfway over, Spaceballs is next, must be a Mel Brooks night (but where's Young Frankenstein & The Producers?)
Guest Dmann2000 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Damn skippy, how many filmmakers are lucky enought to pull off the 1-2 punch like Brooks did in 1974 with Blazing Saddles & Young Frankenstein
Guest Choken One Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 He made those in the SAME FUCKING YEAR? Holy Shit...Talk about "feeling it"
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 I was about to say something about watching Spaceballs, but hell I have the DVD so no need to watch it on TV.
Guest Choken One Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 do they edit for content?
Guest Dmann2000 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Well they certainly kept in the word "nigger" TCM aren't too strict, but then its not like they show Robocop.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 TCM still does widescreen, still has no commercials during movies and still goes unedited. AMC is the channel that sold out.
Guest Choken One Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 but doesn't AMC have the larger vault?
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 I'm not sure AMC still shows some good stuff and I still watch AMC, but it sucks that they sold out and turned into another commercial infested movie channel.
PsychoDriver Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 That movie rules, always makes me laugh. AMC can go to hell those sell out bastards. I don't care what they show I won't watch.... They are dead to me.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Meh, I'm waiting for 2 a.m. to roll around and catch Throne of Blood. Perfect movie to follow a pair of Mel Brooks' movies, eh?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Meh, I'm waiting for 2 a.m. to roll around and catch Throne of Blood. Perfect movie to follow a pair of Mel Brooks' movies, eh? The Japanese interpretation of MacBeth.. Hmm..
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 I set my Tivo to record Throne of Blood. There's a big storm in my area right now...I hope it passes before 2 so I don't have to worry about my direcTV signal.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Well, I just order TOB from Criterion for $19, but I wanna watch it now, anway. Good stuff.
Guest Dmann2000 Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 I set my Tivo to record Throne of Blood. There's a big storm in my area right now...I hope it passes before 2 so I don't have to worry about my direcTV signal. Tell me about it man, my power went out, only 2 minutes though.
Guest Choken One Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Hasn't knocked my power out but There's a buncha limbs and shit on my truck...and some yokel just crashed about 50 yards away...I might help...maybe.
The Tino Standard Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Blazing Saddles is an absolutely brilliant movie. You could NEVER get away with making something like that today, which quite frankly I find sad and at the same time, ignorant. People now are so obsessed with being politically correct that if they see a movie with any hint of racism, they want it struck down with vengeance. But what those people don't see is that the racist folk in Blazing Saddles are the idiot bad guys who get made to look like simple-minded buffoons in just about every scene. The movie makes racist look like out of touch idiots and it's really really funny. It's really a pretty damn good movie all in all. (And it is in our Top 5 all-time quotable movies here at school) Mel Brooks rules it.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Of course you could still get away with it. You'd just have to deal with a massive shit storm. The problem is that no one has the balls to deal with it. Blazing Saddles was made in '75, so I'd be surprised if Brooks didn't have similar problems. There were organizations around in '75 that could've had problems with it. Didn't Brooks run into problems with The Producers because of the nazi stuff?
WrestlingDeacon Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 TCM is showing spoofs and parodies on Fridays all this month. Last night kicked off with Support your Local Sheriff with James Garner, moved to Blazing Saddles and then Spaceballs. No censoring, but that's why it was shown so late. I would say TCM has the larger library, because they have all the stuff Ted Turner owns and the entire Warner Brothers library too. There's the Fox movie channel too, so basically AMC shows whatever is left over.

Minor point, but just an FYI: Blazing Saddles came out in '74.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 27, 2003 Report Posted September 27, 2003 Well I knew it came out somewhere around '75
