The only thing this is relevant for is Blazing Saddles (maybe) and Dr Strange love (definitely), and that’s because they make fun of whities and capitalism too hard

You could easily make Blazing Saddles today, no one would care but you could do it.

the whites would throw a fit, but probably yeah. Strange love just wouldn’t get past the DoD though

Strangelove wouldn’t get past the DoD then either, you don’t need their permission to make movies, just to use their stuff in your movies. Blazing saddles would just be dated.

Half the reason it would suck would be people scrabbling to find the exact demographic its supposed to be “for”. Then you’d need to cram it full of giffable moments and product placement.

Blazing Saddles from the producers of Mac & Me.

Gene Wilder’s famous comment punching down on poor whites, “you know…morons” was not in the script and ad-libbed by Wilder on the set.

No wonder Cleavon Little breaks character and starts to crack up when he says that.

You couldn’t make Blazing Saddles today. If you brought the script for Blazing Saddles to a movie studio and showed it to a producer, they’d say “We can’t make this. This is Blazing Saddles. It’s already a movie.”
