The V

Sorry, only no poll groups are allowed. I'm not sure we really need to ask if Dracula: Dead and Loving it or the Twelve Chairs (which I had never had even heard of until pulling a list of his films from wiki) are funny. The real tragedy of the poll limit is that I couldn't slip the Elephant Man in there.

Definite pattern here.

I had to look up Silent Movie. I don't know why I never even knew about it, but maybe ity's because it isn't funny?

<-Twelve Chairs (which I had never had even heard of until pulling a list of his films from wiki)->

Everyone I've ever met who's watched it, likes it.

SILENT MOVIE is mostly average, but I like that they gave the film's only speaking role to Marcel Marceau.

Yeah, SILENT MOVIE was shit and marked Mel Brooks' long decline into making painfully unfunny movies*.

*Never saw SPACEBALLS.

Spaceballs is hilarious.

Dark Helmet: Careful you idiot! I said across her nose, not up it!
Laser Gunner: Sorry sir! I'm doing my best!
Dark Helmet: Who made that man a gunner?
Major Asshole: I did sir. He's my cousin.
Dark Helmet: Who is he?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole sir.
Dark Helmet: I know that! What's his name?
Colonel Sandurz: That is his name sir. Asshole, Major Asshole!
Dark Helmet: And his cousin?
Colonel Sandurz: He's an asshole too sir. Gunner's mate First Class Philip Asshole!
Dark Helmet: How many asholes do we have on this ship, anyway?
[Entire bridge crew stands up and raises a hand]
Entire Bridge Crew: Yo!
Dark Helmet: I knew it. I'm surrounded by assholes!
[Dark Helmet pulls his face shield down]
Dark Helmet: Keep firing, assholes!

Interesting fact: Mel Brooks created Get Smart.

He co-created Get Smart! with Buck Henry.

A fine, but important, distinction.

Missed it by that much...

The Get Smart feature film was a surprisingly enjoyable affair. It made me want to see more of the old show, which i haven't seen since I was a kid.

Rick Moranis is great in Spaceballs. There are other bits of great. It's not a very good movie though.

People that don't like Young Frankenstein are just wrong in the head.

I liked that it was an honest to God action movie with comedy. The director, Peter Segal, said he meant it as a Boune movie as a comedy.

I forgot the Steve Carell one.  I honestly thought you were talking about THE NUDE BOMB.

Me too.

Wow, a joke about people with surnames that sound like nouns! Why, I haven't seen that since pretty much ALL of AIRPLANE!

Do you and Massey live in some sort of hermit-style anti-cultural vortex? Are you accessing the internet through your gramophones?

Conversely, I find that a reminder on why I hated Spaceballs so much. Just incredibly stupid and the moment I realized that Mel Brooks was no longer funny.

< It's not a very good movie though.>>

I think every good movie from the 80s teamed up and killed your dog. It's the only explanation I can think of for your wrongness about every good movie made between 1980 and 1990.

<-for your wrongness about every good movie made between 1980 and 1990->

Except SPACEBALLS isn't one of those movies.

You're wrong too, Wrongimus Prime.

Put aside your Star Wars affection and search your heart - YOU KNOW IT TO BE TRUE.

C'mon!  The bit with the VCR!

"Why didn't Anyone tell me my ass was so big?"

"Mega Maid has gone from suck...to blow."

Oh, shit...Spaceballs."

It's fantastic!

*sigh*

"Mega Maid has gone from suck...to blow."

Yeah, real funny bro.

Fuck off.  When I was ten, that was the funniest shit on Earth.

<-When I was ten->

I think we've found the problem.

You just can't let go of the idea that Transformers: The Movie and The Goonies are crap! I like plenty of good movies between 1980 and 1990. Gun to my head, I'd probably, confidently, say Raiders is my favorite movie!

Its a funny movie, but its not a good movie. Ghostbusters 2 is funny, but its not a particularly good movie.

Why pick on me when its Massey that hates Ghostbusters? That's wrongness!

Massey's old and stuck in his ways.  You are young.  You have time to change!!!

We'll always have X2's Wolverine Berzerker "rage".
