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.
Spaceballs 2: Rise of the Space Zombies
And if we are lucky we'll all each reach a point in our lives where most everyone we ever knew is dead and we're there just.. hanging on.
Sometimes I think about the perspective of my 80 year old neighbors. Every day could be their last. I suppose the world would be a better place if everyone of all ages realized how fragile and fleeting this life is.
Every day could be anyone reading this final day. If you didn't read my comment you're safe though.
Thank god I just skimmed.
I may be trouble.
My grandma is 101 now and it's crazy the life she must be living. All her friends are dead. Her husband died 45yrs ago. Her siblings are all dead. She's essentially outlived any peer she's ever had, which is depressing to think about
What I'm trying to say is, depends on what you consider lucky
Not if I die first.
Mel Brooks: “…but I’m not dead!”
Mel Brooks himself:
Some fucking how, not dead.
dude will be 98 in about a week.
I always joked with my brother that they should make Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
Rick Moranis please.
No no no no no, you leave this property alone.
We don't need a spaceballs 2. Star Wars is already a parody of itself.
And if that's not bad enough, there's the Zack Snyder knock-off that Netflix keeps waving in my face like a cat's arse.
I watched the first one, Netflix. You don't get to fool me twice.
I gave that a chance since I feel like people seem to be a bit unfair to Snyder but yeah it was so fucking boring and just copying Warhammer, Star Wars, Firefly, a couple other scifi serieseseses.
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.
Happened with Star Trek. In 2017, Seth McFarlane created The Orville. A Sci-Fi comedy/satire, that many Treckies claimed felt more like Star Trek than Star Trek at the time.
The Search for More Money
Mel Brooks is 97 years old.
Holy shit, he really is 😐
And his son wrote World War Z. Talented family!
The book or the movie?
The book. Wish they'd make a movie on it someday.
We can't have Spaceballs 2 yet, we haven't seen Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2
If Rick Moranis is in, then I'm in.
I will accept him in one of two roles: the Schwartz Ghost of Dark Helmet or Crayola Wren, the plucky and colorful yet angsty child of Lone Star and Princess Vespa who idolizes Dark Helmet.
Crayola Wren draws pictures of Dark Helmet in whatever the current equivalent to a Lisa Frank notebook is.
I am torn because I am equally sick of remakes and reboots and excited for a Josh Gad and Mel Brooks collaboration.
Finally! "The search for more money"!
Spaceballs has finally become what it aimed to poke fun at. Anyways, can't wait for The Search for More Money!
I want this to be good. But I don’t know if it will be good.
As long as it's called Spaceballs 2 the search for more money.
Maybe it will be just as good as the star wars prequels and sequels
I do not know who the fuck Josh Gad is, and a quick look at his IMDB page has not set my expectations stunningly high.
He's really more of a theater guy than movies. But he's hilarious
I'd quite like a piss-take if the prequels, then one of the sequels. Although, quite a lot of the Sequel Trilogy took the piss anyway.
TIL Mel Brooks isn't dead.
No way. :o
I was so confused.
Please no...
They could make a Mel Brooks movie today!
