But, but it's a sequel 40 years in the making. It's Mel Brooks! I set my expectation to be TWICE as good - as impossible a task as that may be. They had enough time to polish the script I hope.

We NEED a Part II, like, in 2001 already, covering the last century.

Your video, Mel Blanc yelling (Looney Tunes), has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

While I was grade 9, I tackled a fellow 2 years my senior (G11), he must be 5~6 inches taller than me (me being 5'6" in my adulthood, while he was one of the tallest in school, though not muscular), I dislocated his shoulder TWICE, during practices. First time he was hospitalized for 4 days, the second time was kind of funny. When I dislocated his shoulder again (with an audible "pop"), the guy next to me floored him and put his shoulder back in place (with an audible "click/sploosh"-y sound, hard to describe). Obviously he was in pain, and was twisting and tossing himself, but when the pain subsided a little bit and opened his eyes and saw me just standing there, he screamed "you again!?" All I could do was thinking of those Mel Gibson "dislocating shoulder" scenes in the Lethal Weapons movies.

So, it's not about size, really, it's to know where & how to tackle a big boi.

Most recent was Fatman. Audience scores are high, reviews not so much. I personally thought it was a great movie. The bad reviews are usually also quick to remind us of everything Mel Gibson did wrong in his past.

Sadly it will be reviewed badly and won't do well because you aren't supposed to put Mel Gibson in a movie again.

I think the thing that annoys me most about Mel Brooks is that he takes a throw-everything-at-the-audience-until-someone-laughs approach to comedy.


Unlike me.

@ChaosEngine -- Meh, I don't care except to the extent that any actual assholery prevents or negatively influences future media with him in it. (Which to be fair sounds like it has actually happened...)

Now if you excuse me, I'm going to watch Mel Gibson and Weinstein movies, Louis CK standup, and reruns of the Cosby Show.

I have to admit.
I was lucky enough to see this performed LIVE.
Performed by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, with the original cartoon played uncut on Big Screen.
With Mel Blank standing on stage introducing it, and answering questions afterwards.

I got to See over Two hours of footage with the VSO performing soundtrack to some of Loony Toons best musical pieces. With Mel breaking them down and performing between each piece.

Most people don't know that the full uncut versions of these cartoons are never shown any more.

My trained ear confirms me that it is Mel Blanc.

<3

The tactics of low budget filming ahahahahahahhaaaa... I would be pissed if someone cut down the tree in my yard though! My side, your side, my side, your side -- MY TREE. Sounds like it was a lot of fun -- and stress lol.

Love me some Akira Kurosawa, tooooo. Yoooooooo! Also made Seven Samurai AKA The Magnificent Seven. I love the cross pollination between Japanese, American and Italian cinema. Not to mention British, French, Spanish, German and Russian. (Sorry for leaving your country out, all cinema is connected tbh.)

Anyway, love the scene at the end of A Fistful..More where Clint goes around colleting all the dead bodies on his wagon. Its such a great closer. And Good the Bad and the Ugly is epic af, not low budget at all -- it's a dang war film! If you haven't seen these films, at least watch the g, the b, and the u. It's a grand spectacle.

Duck You Sucka footage in there, which is not an Eastwood film, it's about an Irish terrorist's (James Coburn, the guy who got his luggage shot by Mel Gibson in... Cant remember the name of that film) involvement in the Mexican Revolution. The kill count is pretty impressive. Fuckin good movie, from the Once Upon a Time tril.

Mel Brooks: "Spaceballs".

Elon Musk and his engineers at Tesla have ...a nerdtastic sense of humor.

Dude, this is so much better than just the Brad Garrett part. Brad Garrett's father in Everybody Loves Raymond was played by the late, great Peter Boyle. Peter Boyle played the iconic Frankenstein's monster (seen here) in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein. Cool little connection.
