My wife and I, my daughter, her husband and the three grandchildren (the younger one spent most of the time reading a book - she reads at least 2-3 a week), watched ‘Blazing Saddles’. My wife, who lived in Germany, translated Mel Brooks “German” words and I translated the Yiddish words for them.

Everyone was howling. We almost fell off the couch.

Mel Brooks screwed the Left before they could get him (a WW2 combat veteran). We saw “The Producers” a couple weeks ago, and “Young Frankenstein” before that.

These three films may be the ones, besides “Animal House”, that bring down the Cultural Revolution Leftists in Hollywood, Wokeville, and in the newspapers.

Saul Alinsky told his Marxist followers to “ridicule” liberals and anti-communists. Mel Brooks told them to go to hell while we laugh at them on their way out the door.

We need to keep showing these movies and fight back any attempt to censor, delete or modify them, and destroy their “phony bolognie jobs”.

Neither does “when viewed by contemporary standards,”

When viewed by "standards" established five minutes ago by a minority of hate-filled "activists," and which will cast aside and replaced with still more-absurd "standards" in another five minutes...

I wonder if they consider the work of art “Piss Christ” to be problematic.

“Queen of Outer Space” is probably on the chopping block, too. And I don’t have a copy.

Ben Mankiewicz helped start The Young Turks.

I watched Rudyard Kipling’s “Kim” on TCM (1950). Dean Stockwell plays a young Irish boy in 1988 British ruled India. Long story short, in some parts in the movie he has makeup on to darken his face to look Indian.

The hostess had to make an issue out of that.
