Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

    Blazing Saddles.

    Probably the Blue Brothers, but for different reasons. I feel like most of the blues legends are gone.

      I watched this recently. I agree it couldn’t be made the same, but it amazes me how many people miss the point. The racists were the ones we were supposed to laughing at, not with.

        I think people laugh at the racists for different reasons. Some because they are ridiculous, others because they are saying what the people wish they could.

        Sorry about the “up yours, slobber face.” You will of course have the decency not to tell anyone I talked to you?

        Idk. It would have to be a REALLY loose adaptation.
