They're rubbing our faces with all the people they've killed off.

Uhg.  I always thought it was terribly over-rated.  In fact, I found it almost unwatchable.  OK, the bit with John Hurt was good.

Actually, I pretty much view Mel Brooks' whole career as a long decline from The Producers, which really accelerated when he started starring in his own films on a regular basis, instead of just writing and directing.

I wouldn't call Young Frankenstein or Blazing Saddles a decline from The Producers, brilliant as it may be.

So... Winter Dragon happened.  Anyone else watch it?  Nothing says quality like a Sunday/Monday 1:30 am showing on FXX. :lol:  I've never read the Wheel of Time books, but I have a feeling I'd be pissed/embarrassed/ashamed/sad if I had.  It made little to no sense to me.

Apparently Mel Brooks said that he still wants to do a sequel for Spaceballs, and that he might start after the new movies come out. Then again I believe he said the same thing when the first prequels came out, so...

He better stick to his promise to subtitle it "The Search for More Money".  :P

Lately, a Wachowskifest.  If you type "Wachowski" enough times, it doesn't even look real anymore.

Speed Racer (2008).  Basically, Speed Racer is everything David Cronenberg didn't get to in Crash.  A+

Cloud Atlas (2012).  History is making us better, and it's only a pity we have to live through it: Cloud Atlas gives us a vision of something worth looking forward to.  A

Jupiter Ascending (2015).  Good or bad, I knew it would be weird.  What I couldn't have known was that the Wachowskis' weird could be so boring.  C

If that's your takeaway, don't read the book. :P

For serious?  Because it'd actually piqued my interest... :unsure:

I'm sure that Malthus would never like anything bleak.  He's too jolly.

I haven't read the book, but I find Ide's take-away from Cloud Atlas to miss the point. :P

After Walking Dead, caught the pilot of Better Call Saul (the Breaking Bad spinoff).  Interesting, but too early to make a call on it yet.
