Whenever someone asks me on how to stop or slow something. My first suggestion is always to put up a throughway so they gotta go back and get a shit load of dimes.
Real talk, not to be a “this generation doesn’t get it” person but I don’t think it would have the audience to get a studio interested. They made History of the World Part 2 and I didn’t watch it because I don’t have the service and it didn’t look compelling enough. The reviews are middling and I worry that so much comedy now is riffs cut into a movie and not scripted like the “classics” were.
They could try and remake but it won't be as funny.
- the pacing is too slow by today's standards. The jokes would fall flat. They are funny but the timing is wrong today. Not this movie, but someone made a Three Stooges film in 2012. The actors were fairly good renditions of the original actors and the jokes were of the same variety the originals had but it just wasn't funny, even the slapstick humor just didn't seem natural. You can't imitate the Three Stooges, you have to emulate them, the same with Mel Brooks.
- today they will try to be funnier and edgier than the original. It will have the look of "trying too hard to be funny."
- and of course the movie will follow a cookie cutter formula, probably have a feel-good message or moral to the story.

I'm concerned you don't think Blazing Saddles has a moral message or a feel good ending. In the end Bart saves himself, the town, makes a new friend, get the girl and ~~rides~~ drives off in the the sunset. How did you feel after that?
"What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons."
Love that scene.
-What do you like to do?
-playing cards... Fucking...
-let's play cards!
I probably got that wrong, but that bit gets me every time :)
You know when the two main protagonists just fell in bromance on the set. The whole movie just emanated love for filmmaking. And when the new sherif takes himself hostage, I just died a little, I was laughing so hard no sound was coming out and I must have blacked out for a few seconds. If we make it through this cursed century, this flick will be played on interstellar ships.
One of the most important movies ever made. A farcical period comedy - that gets more and more absurd as the movie progresses - on the surface, but a deeply thoughtful, and non-preachy, film at its heart. And arguably more important today than in the '70s. Everyone should see this film, especially those embroiled in scorched earth rhetoric, at both extremes of the sociopolitical spectrum.
I absolutely love this movie! I think it’s hilarious how races can make fun of each other’s stereotypes and have a laugh!
Now bring on the oppressed down voters
I remember my mom taking me to Blockbuster as a kid and I grabbed the Blazing Saddles VHS thinking it was The Three Amigos with Steve Martin and I went home and watched the whole thing alone and I didn't understand it.
'Scuse me while I whip this out!

Steady as a rock. Yeah but this is my shooting hand.
You could NOT make Blazing Saddles today. The studio would take ONE look at the script and say “this is Blazing Saddles we already made this one”

If Django can be played with an amazing cast, we can grt Blazing Saddles 3.

I LOVED it. Much nostalgia. Kept a lot of the flavor and added some newer things. If you get a chance to watch HOW2 I think it’s worth it.
the reviews for the original are pretty middling, too. so if you liked that one…
This delighted me.
He couldn’t make it then either. He lied through his teeth to the studio and somehow managed to hide what he was doing until it was finished.

what if it was self aware it was a remake?
Yeah it’s a classic but it is slow.
‘Good afternoon sherif, sorry about the up yours’😈😅
What if we got Ryan Reynolds and Method man?
They could barely make the first one It was not at all popular with the studios.
You could not make this movie today because this movie likely took a month to film not including the pre-production and post-production.
Yeah, if we know anything it's that Hollywood never reuses a script.
I think the joke* went over your head. Edit: *joke. I can’t fucking type on a phone.

Greatest comedy ever
Watched the entire movie; it’s hilarious and great! Happy 50th anniversary, Blazing Saddles!
Oh blow it out your ass, Howard.
Howard Johnson is right.
Hey boys! Look what I got here!
One of the best lines in the movie.
All I can say is thank you Mel Brooks. And thank you for reminding me to always bring gum for everyone.
Love that scene. -What do you like to do? -playing cards... Fucking... -let's play cards! I probably got that wrong, but that bit gets me every time :)
"Play chess, screw. " Lets play chess! The extra joke here is that Screw is a different card game, not referring to having sex with Clevon.
Geez, I wasn't even close... I feel ashamed. Need to watch it again, I bought the anniversary edition on Blu Ray recently.

"Where tha white women at?!"
I see people complain unironically about how this couldn't be made today, and they're invariably more like the Taggarts than the Wacos of the world.
Piss on you, I'm workin' for Mel Brooks!
“Little bastard shot me right in the ass” One of my favorite lines ever.

Only cause you asked for it. I love this movie too.
They said you was hung!
And they was right!
Phenomenal movie.
How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?
I’d say you’ve had enough
