I wonder if they put a “trigger warning” at the start of the film now like they do with Rush Hour. Funny that an anti-racist film offends people

HBO Max just started putting a trigger warning ahead of Blazing Saddles.

This makes me feel old.

Meanwhile, Mel Brooks, 97 years of age and still kicking, is a holy relic.

One of the greatest comedies ever made. It says a lot about how sick our society has become that comedies like this or Monty Python’s Life of Brian - both made in the 70s - could not be made today.
