... which is exactly what I was thinking when Lego said Blazing Saddles was a "yawner."ChristopherMD wrote:

So I guess now each of us has someone we're no longer on speaking terms with.

My daughter was asking me, "Is it a comedy?" Eh, sort of? "Is Chris Evans hot in it?" He has a moustache that isn't doing him any favors.jason10mm wrote: Gray Man was fun but coming off of The Terminal List with its amazing attention to detail this film seems almost comical by comparison. Still, it is beautifully shot and watching Ana and Jessica play off Ryan and Chris respectively is pretty great. It's a shame Gosling didnt bother to get into shape for this though....

Why did the Russo Brothers give Captain America a Stalin makeover?

Recently, UP (2009). A sweet and funny movie. Unusual protagonists (cranky old man, chunky Asian kid), a plot that genuinely kept me guessing, and boy, the silent montage of the first ten minutes.

I was reading a ranked and notated list of Studio Ghibli movies, and somehow that got me thinking about Up. Excellent movie, especially the opening sequence.

I put Young Frankenstein on the list of contenders because it's supposed to be the absolute best and I thought I'd give it a shot. We'll see. I'm not expecting much.

"Give to Oedipus... Give to Oedipus... Hey, Josephus!"
"Hey, muthafucker!"
But I think The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and High Anxiety are all genuinely good-to-great films that had a lot more going on than simply his sometimes opaque sense of humor.

I actually met Mel Brooks once in the late 90's, was a nice enough guy.
