He has said that if he ever makes another film is would be "Spaceballs 2" which would be funny, but I would really like to see a "History Part 2" with Hitler on Ice and Jews in Space (though that one would essentially be Spaceballs 2).Kurosawa_Lovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-34535655353844954762011-08-10T21:21:27.741-05:002011-08-10T21:21:27.741-05:00Something happened to Mr. Brooks at some point to ...Something happened to Mr. Brooks at some point to make him not funny. <i>Silent Movie</i> and <i>High Anxiety</i> are less than they should be, and I've always thought <i>Spaceballs</i> was overrated.

Will Farrell didn't come close to Kenneth Mars in this--good, but not this. This film doesn't go more than 90 seconds without a solid laugh.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-80665608750103778862011-08-07T18:15:01.928-05:002011-08-07T18:15:01.928-05:00Mel Brooks greatest film is also his first film. ...Mel Brooks greatest film is also his first film. I give credit for "Blazing Saddles' and "Frankenstein" but "The Producers" is such a great movie. Like you I find the Broadway adaptation, cute and the movie is acceptable, but Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder set the bar so high that Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick just can't measure up. Will Farrell does a good job that is equal to Kenneth Mars, but I CAN NOT BELIEVE they left out LSD.Ken Loarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207009680910318145noreply@blogger.com
