I’m glad that I was able to get a CD of the original “Blazing Saddles” before it disappeared down the memory hole.

Communists have no sense of humor.

WHAT!?

Not a great movie but certainly enjoyable with Chris Rock and Jackie Chan.

Fire every little soy based clown who decides this crap.

Saw this kind of trigger warning before an episode of Bonanza the other day. Other episodes played the same day did not have a warning. Had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to be offended about. White guys owning a ranch?

Was it an episode featuring their Chinese cook, Hop-Sing?

"Offensive ethnic stereotyping!"

Regards,

“I’ve never even watched a Jackie Chan movie, fake, glamorized fighting and gymnastic tricks is just not a genre I enjoy.”

You missed out on a funny movie then.

Every once in a while the Catchy Comedy channel will run a number of episodes of “The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast” for its Sunday binge. The start of each episode contains a warning about “outdated humor and cultural references.” If you watch these roasts, most of the jokes are just lame, not offensive. Don Rickles will make a comment or two about a Black celebrity on stage, followed by Sherman Hemsley and Nipsy Russell poking fun at White people. No big deal.

The trigger warning should be this: ‘This movie was made before Hollywood ran out of ideas and became woke. If you are offended by this movie, go and watch the North Korean television network. All you’ll see is Chairman Kim and being praised by his team. Thank you.’

I’ll make sure I am on my fainting couch and have my pearls close by to clutch when my family wants to watch “Rush Hour” for the zillionth time.

Hop-sing is in several episodes, I don’t remember if he was seen or mentioned in this one. I haven’t see the disclaimer with other episodes including him. They usually treated him as family. This one had a Chinese family coming to town in a wagon though. Might be mistaken on the show or episode though. When my husband is frustrated with what he sees on the news, we take a break streaming a channel that shows nothing but westerns. Back to back episodes of Bonanza, Gunsmoke and others. They tend to blur together after binging. LOL. Much better than anything new anyways.
