Pretty sure the film will be horrible but that they pulled off geting Moranis back is simply amazing.
I was sure the new Naked Gun would be terrible but I laughed my ass off. I’ll give Spaceballs a chance.
That may be the best endorsement anyone could possibly give
Recent successes in revival movies and comedies, like The Naked Gun, make me hopeful.
It can be done, you just have to want to do the work.
I mean, it’s all the same crew, including Mel Fucking Brooks. It’s gonna be good.
John Candy 😭
I feel like Mel fucking Brooks may have less energy available at this point in his career to push his artistic vision through.
I feel like this movie is the cinematic equivalent of 90-year-old congresspeople giving us “greatest hits of ideas that played well decades ago”.
Go. Retire. You had a great career for a long time. Now find a smaller audience.
Brooks had very little to do with this sequel aside from reprising his role as Yogurt. He neither wrote nor directed.
What a reason for him to come back. You were sorely missed, sir.
Bob and Doug is a Canadian animated sitcom, which premiered on Global on April 19, 2009. The series is a revival of the SCTV sketch characters Bob and Doug McKenzie. The first season consisted of 10 episodes. The show was produced by Animax Entertainment. The first season premiered on April 19, 2009 and held the first season finale on June 29, 2009. A short second season of “five secret episodes” has since aired in sporadic form. The show was originally planned for development by Fox in the United States.
I totally missed that
I’ve been waiting for this danged movie since they hinted about it in the original movie almost 40 years ago. Insane production time.
As do we. Let’s stop rising old franchises to the hole in the roof during a storm.
This one gets a moment in time. It’s pretty much the last chance to do something with most of the original cast and creator.
While I share your sentiment usually, this one really is an exception to the reboot slop we have seen over the last decade or so
This one gets a moment in time. It’s pretty much the last chance to do something with most of the original cast and creator.
You can say that for most of these reunion/reboots. Meryl Streep is pushing 80, so The Devil Wears Prada 2 had to happen now. We’ve already lost one Ghostbuster, so we really needed to make Afterlife happen stat.
Not that I want to harsh anyone’s buzz. I’ve enjoyed some of these things, and this may turn out to be one of the good ones. But I’m not seeing anything setting it apart from the others, either.
One person isn’t the majority of the entire cast.
Rick Moranis retired from acting almost 30 years before this project and it was a project worth him coming back for in his opinion.
That’s different from your examples in a fundamental way. I’m not sure how I can explain it to you, but the difference for this one is clear and unambiguously a different situation then what you are comparing them to me
One person isn’t the majority of the entire cast.
When it’s The Devil Wears Prada and we’re talking about Streep, she may was well be.
Moranis is an amazing get, I’ll give you that. I’m not trying to write this movie off, I just don’t automatically write any of these things off. I don’t think the glut of backwards looking projects is good for the industry as a whole, but most do have potential on an individual basis, and a couple of them deliver on it. I’m certainly hoping this will be one of them.
Mel Brooks is pulling the stops. He’s not dead, and neither is his comedy.
What I love is that he’s taking risks.
It’s not perfect, but we all appreciate it. Fuck the haters, man.
Lol, receiving a boatload of cash to strap your name to a sequel to a successful movie you did decades ago and then keeping your hands out of it, is “taking risks”?
Josh Gad wrote this one not Mel Brooks.
I’m mostly concerned because Mel Brooks hasn’t made a good film since Spaceballs.
I know a lot of people love Men in Tights, but it was just a bunch of reused jokes from earlier films. Even the title song was just “Jews in Space” from the epilogue of “History of the World Part I.”
Mel Brooks is pulling the stops.
He’s literally 100 years old and has no fucks to give.
My download queue is ready and waiting…
Edit: before anyone gives me any shit about only 18 hours of uptime, I just did my monthly update and roboop, so gimme a break. This is a 14 year-old iMac, and my standard uptime is 30+ days before I run system updates and reboop.
Roboop and reboop are sitting in a boat.
Roboop falls out.
Who is left?
Thank you for making my silly typo into something adorable
Typo? I figured that’s just what you called it because the t is no where near the p, at least on my keyboard. 🤷
It is cute though. I might start using it myself.
No, I was referring to reboop vs roboop
I’ve been using ‘reboop’ for decades ;)
Uptime is not a flex.
Its funny how he is wearing the green Dr Doom suit like RDJ.
“Rick Moranis Returns in Humorous Fashion”
I guess the editor was asleep that day
I was excited about this one until I heard Josh Gad was in charge. That guy is comedy poison. How he ever had a career is a mystery to me.
Listen…Gad fucked Qbert and had Qbert hybrid offspring. For that, he’s tolerable in my book.
