My favorite is when a dude gets smashed into a pancake by the Rex on the sidewalk and someone comes out from the building and rolls him up like a sleeping bag and takes him inside. Like, what???

Captain Jesus posted:If you look at the wikipedia list of western films released in the 70s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Western_films_of_the_1970s) films labeled as "traditional western" are in the minority from the beginning of the decade. "Grim westerns" also didn't begin with High Plains Drifter and not even the american ones (though italian, the grimest western evern, the Great Silence, was released in 1968). I haven't watched the video in question but from the descriptions here it seems as if someone started with a conclusion - Blazing Saddles ended the age of traditional westerns - and then cherry picked arguments that support that conclusion. It's not like comedy westerns were entirely new either. They Call Me Trinity, Trinity Is Still My Name and My Name Is Nobody were all released before Blazing Saddles. Leone produced (and directed bits, accounts vary on how much work he did) of My Name Is Nobody essentially because he felt that if anyone was going to make fun of westerns it had better be him.

Yea but Blazing Saddles was a major hit, it made over 100 million on a budget of only a few million. Kinda like how The Matrix is gonna get most of the credit for the trends that became popular after it's release, even though Dark City had been out there for a year before that. The movie that connects with audiences the most gets the credit.

Heck, Lee Marvin won an Oscar for Cat Ballou! There was also a bunch of old Western series that were obviously supposed to be funny, the Three Mesquiteers had a guy who ran around with a ventriloquist dummy for like the first 15 or so of those films.

They probably figure there's a PR difference between a historical footnote regarding a dead man and sharing a name with a massive modern white-nationalist propaganda network.

I don't know if I agree that they don't care much about skin color—I'm struggling to think of a notable interracial romance in one of their movies.

They still haven't made "Gay Days" an official event, even though it's been going on in the parks for almost thirty years. They sure as poo poo fill the shops with plenty of rainbow merchandise though.

this is because the venn diagram of fundamentalist christians and people with disney brain spiders is, more or less, a single circle e: like, fundies claim to hate Disney because of gay, but in practice, if you see someone who's obsessed with Disney (and especially Disney Princesses) who seems way, way too old to be, they're 95% of the time also a hardcore fundie

There was Finn and Rose before Rose disappeared into the background and was replaced by Dominic Monaghan for some reason. And uh, yup that's about it.

It's harder to be influenced by something you aren't aware of.

Casimir Radon posted:When I first saw that he'd been cast in TFA I'd just seen Ex Machina and was a little taken aback because he played that scumbag maybe a little too well. He did a good job in TFA which showed me that he could play a heroic character too, but the next couple of movies had writing that made Poe considerably less likable. He was asked during the promotional tour for TROS recently if he’d consider coming back to play Poe down the line in any Disney productions and he started laughing and said “Nope”.
