Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... YES, YES, YES, PLEASE YES. I can't tell you how much I love SPACEBALLS... I remember seeing it in the theaters when it came out... I was very young and had no idea what the hell it was. There was something else I wanted to see more at the theater and I remember whining to my mom that I didn't want to see this stupid-sounding movie. She said, "Relax. It's like STAR WARS, you'll love it." And that began my long love affair with Dark Helmet, Lone Star, Princess Vespa, Barf ("Not in here, mister! This is a Mercedes!") and the rest of those looney characters. I hope this happens. Mel Brooks isn't getting any younger and I'd be very sad if his last film is DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT... Here's a bit of the interview with Playbill Magazine with Mel Brooks! Mori,
here's something filmish you might also be interested in.
There's a small Q and A with Mel Brooks in Playbill magazine, which is all about theatre shows, in which he says there are more movies on the way that he's doing..have a great day.
Playbill : What's the secret to The Producers longevity?
MB: I think it's just a matter of right time, right place. There was a thing called video and then there was a thing called DVDs, then it became more successful, and so the time was right for it, ripe for it actually, to go to Broadway. Now, it's the right time for it to be made back into a movie.
Playbill : With Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane?
MB: Most definitely. There might be a few changes, for instance an Australian chap named Bert Newton plays Franz Leibkind in the show down under and he gives the performance of that role I've ever seen frankly. I'd love Newton to be involved. I'd also like Nicole Kidman to be involved, and apparently she's keen.
Playbill : Will you have a role in it?
MB : It's doubtful, but I'm writing myself back into the Spaceballs sequel that I'm now writing, so you haven't seen the last of my face. Why another Spaceballs? It wouldn't feel right have anyone else play Yoghurt and the first one was the best experience I've had making a movie since Blazing Saddles.
Playbill : When can we expect that?
MB : Best case scenario : a week before the new Star Wars opens. Worst Case Scenario : a year after the new star wars opens.
Yes! I bet Brooks could really take some of the piss out of the prequels pretty badly if he wanted to... I just hope the film is subtitled THE SEARCH FOR MORE MONEY! I can't wait!!!
I've never found Mel Brooks to be funny. Sure there are a few good scenes in Spaceballs, but given how many attempted jokes he has made in his life, perhaps 1% of them are even marginally funny.
Hello my honey... hello my darling... hello my ragtime gal...
What did he order?
My favorite line:
Find anything?
We ain't found shit
o/~ "We're Jeeeeews out in spa-ace! Zooming along, protecting the Hebrew race..." o/~
[Freepmail me to get on or off this Not-A-Ping-List.]
Oh that is so funny!
As a former Masshole myself, yes I did escape I can truly enjoy this! Who is the guy sitting down?
thanks I needed the laugh!
Thanks for the ping! good stuff.
You're welcome. I'm going to be hearing lines from Spaceballs in my head all night, so I thought I'd share the joy.

ROTFLOL!
You and me both.
Wow!
Spaceballs, the Sequel "The search for more money" as mentioned in the first one?!
Mel's a twisted genius.
Oh no, not again!
ROTF!!!! That is hysterical!
This is so subtle but I love the part where they zoom in on Colonel Sanders as that guy is getting it in the nads. He's like enjoying it in some perverted way. Please try to get that on screenshot. Thanks.
I must say Daphe Zuniga (who plays Princess Vespa) is pretty hot.
