She's been pretty clear that she hails from Eastern ***** Europe! What's next, are people going to be shocked that Ron Howard is, in fact, also white? I actually don't know anything about her besides she is cute but the article states in 2016 she was very open with origins, maybe the libs did not realize the Balkans were an area of Europe? But they will still vote for Warren despite her lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Lecturegram About Mongo: HBO Max Adds “Proper Social Context” To Blazing Saddles FTA: Audiences have “put[] the bigotry and racist language in context” in Blazing Saddles for forty-six years without ever once coming to the conclusion that it was advocating bigotry and racism. We worried that political correctness might kill social satire; now we have to conclude that political correctness has eclipsed social satire. The real lesson taught by HBO Max is that people should buy their favorite movies on physical media, and watch them without interference from an industry that used to trust its audience a whole lot more 46 years ago than it does now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never seen Blazing Saddles, so Hubby rented it last month and we had a date night watching it. While I thought it was a stupid movie (he laughed throughout) within the first 5 minutes I said to him, "This could NEVER be made today." 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Young Frankenstein is as classic as it get, what are you waiting for....... I always loved Silent Movie too, underrated I think.
