This is a community for art in any medium. Welcome!

Rules:

  1. This is a community to discuss all things related to art. Posts should be relevant to art, such as sharing art or news about art. To clarify, when we say "any medium," this includes media such as painting, film, music, literature, performance, video games, etc.
  2. Keep things civil. Critiquing art is fine but attacking other users for their opinions is not.
  3. Avoid excessive self-promotion. Yes, this is subjective and will be based on how popular this community becomes overall. If you can see a post about your own work on the first few pages, don't post another.
  4. Follow site-wide rules

If it's not called "Spaceballs II: The Search For More Money" I'm not here for it.

Let's not.

I love Mel Brooks movies, but they were groundbreaking for their time and after trying to watch History of the World Part II, I would rather just rewatch the older stuff.

Wait, there was one? At the time of watching Part 1 I thought it was a joke.

It’s a show that came out last year.

It was a joke when Part I came out, then they ruined the joke decades later.

I don't have high hopes either.

Some things are very much products of their time, and you can't reliably repeat what made that formula work as well as it did.

I doubt any modern movie could come anywhere close to its brilliance. There's too much Hollywood bureaucracy garbage dictating what will get made and what not. People like Weinstein destroying movies for personal gain or just because they can. And just garbage industry practices overall.
