So a sequel of a classic 80s movie, made 40 years later. Is there any chance whatsoever its going to be any good?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

With lowered expectations, definitely.

Mel Brooks has a good handle on what is funny.

As long as they keep the title Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money I’ll be happy. I mean may as well be honest and upfront about it.

[–] Pavidus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Normally I would say no. However, with Mel Brooks producing, I will hold out hope!

We don't need a spaceballs 2. Star Wars is already a parody of itself.

What if it ends up being the star wars people want, like an inverse parody?

I doubt it will even be good, but one can hope.

Rick Moranis please.

I'm going to sound like a Mel Brooks commentary track for a second:

John Candy as Barg - Such a lovely man, shame he's dead.

John Hurt from Alien - Wonderful actor, he's dead.

Joan Rivers as Dot Matrix - Shame she's dead.

Dom DeLuise as the voice of Pizza the Hutt - I loved that man, he's dead.

Dick Van Patten as King Roland - He's dead.

Ronny Graham as the minister - And he's dead.

Mel Brooks: “…but I’m not dead!”
