its all about the shwartz . whats the shwartz advertising

there was no spaceballs sequal?

I have to post now that the Schwartz was invoked...

I love the film, I was great.

There wasn't a sequal, they just mentioned it in Spaceballs for the possibility, I guess. Brookes does that quite often, He advertises History of the World Part II at the end of History of the World Part I. This also mentions Jews in Space, which i think is maybe where the base of the spoofe came from.

Schwartz is just a very common last name in hollywood, You'll see at least 1 Schwartz in almost every credit list for a movie.

And it's my last name. May the Schwartz be with you.

I find it rather incredible that anyone can seriously suggest that this film is in any way dangerously risqué or offensive, and that it should have a more mature rating for sex and violence? oh please give us a break, what planet are you on? There was more sex and violence in a Saturday evening episode of Dallas or Hart to Hart.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and presume you were joking for effect - I seriously hope so! My kids have watched Mel Brooks' films for years and I can assure you that they haven't grown up into some sort of depraved monsters as a result of exposure to Spaceball's supposed sex and violence, and I can assure you that I'm rather puritanical when it comes to allowing them access to material with any sort of sexual content. I suppose by your standards, Carry On would be XXX hardcore! God only knows what you'd make of a traditional British panto, CS, you'd prob think it was the work of Beelzebub himself!

myself I though Spaceballs was one of Brooks' weaker efforts and not a patch on Blazing Saddles or The Producers, and it barely raises a smile. I just don't know what you see in it, Topher.

btw aren't stilettos supposed to be sexually provocative? perhaps your name should carry a mature content rating, CS?

<shakes head> so Spaceballs ought to carry a mature rating? what will I read here next? Andy-Pandy's shameful ménage-a-trois with Teddy and Looby-Lou? Mrs Honeyman's disgraceful portrayal of a single mother in Camberwick Green? oh I despair at times, I really do... whatever happened to common sense? has some sort of alien virus wiped it out or has the depletion of the ozone layer rotted it or something?

I will agree, Taw, that it is a weaker Mel Brookes film. It really doesn't hold a candle to High Anxiety, Blazing Saddles, or Young Frankenstein....

However, I find that I am drawn to it for the spoofe on the sci-fi world, the "literal" humor that runs rampant throughout, Rick Moranis as a super villian, ect... Some things could have been left out, i.e. Joan Rivers, but as a whole, a much better spoofe than many things more recent.

Taw, i am not saying that this movie is depraved, it's just that most movies that come out nowadays are loaded with junk and are sometimes overrated or given a fairly "low" rating...

As for sexuality relating to stilettos, i have no idea about that (i got the name from Freelancer anyway..)

@Taw: You forgot to mention that "chocolate" is an aphrodisiac. I'm all on for making that there kinky ChockyHeel a "R" rated member with immediate effect. All posts to be screened by FD prior to general release.

chocolate .... stiletto .... Too many possibilities.

yeah. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein .... High Anxiety is a few notches below those two imho.


Do I hear anyone mentioning Leslie Nielsen yet?

I thought that Galaxy Quest was a much better spoof on the sci-fi genre and fandom, and without being insulting or patronising in the process; after all, in the end the useless actors and the nerds saved the day.

loved this bit particularly..

*ok erm Commander, look i know its just a tv show and all, I know it's not real..*
*but it's not just a tv show, it is real, and I need your help*
*it's real, i knew it!*

wonderful!

GQ *was* a good movie. The satire was quite good, and I also liked the fact that there was little or no crudity in the film. There's too much of that these days in my opinion.

Galaxy Quest was a good spoof, It fit better without it getting too silly.

I agree, Galaxy Quest is a much better movie. It pokes funa t the entire sci-fi scene - Conventions, bad TV acting, cult followings - it was awesome.

William Shatner has taken that element and elevated it to high (commercially viable) tv art. Anyone seen an episode of Boston Legal ?
