A winning comment on one of the endless 'kids today are too sensitive and would never allow Mel Brooks to make Blazing Saddles now' posts. I'm still seeing stars from the irony hitting me like a 2x4. Tell me that you missed the entire point of a book/film without telling me that you missed the entire point of a book/film.

    You could never make Blazing Saddles today because people would say, "Hey, this is just Blazing Saddles, this movie already exists!"

      You couldn't make blazing saddles today because Boots Riley is busy with other projects.

      But if you did, any youtuber making 5 hour long video essays about how having women in talking roles ruined Star Wars would make sure to complain that even westerns have gone woke now.

        The ending of The Professionals where the mercenaries don't force the young woman to go back to her rich old husband she ran away from? Woke as shit. Plus it had a black dude. Double woke. Shame on you, the year 1966.
