Both of you are terrible. And what's worse is that I'm drawing a blank on puns right now. :< I mean, I guess I'd have to take a shot at it first, but I can't come up with anything halfway decent.
Ha! You call me terrible like it would would phase me. You should know by now that I take pride in that!

Great pun, kid! That was one in a million!
Actually, was that a pun? Or am I confusing that with a palindrome, like "Bolton"?
Jairus shot first?

Well, a palindrome is where something is spelled the same backwards and forwards, like "race car" or "mom." So it's definitely not that...
Bu yes, I will admit, it's a terrible reference to the "Han shot first!" meme. I won't deflect any criticism here or force you to accept it, but we could all just saber this light verbal sparring. Just don't maul me for keeping them up, and I swear this isn't some insidious plot to invader your brain.

This. Mel Brooks is brilliant, but sequels in general make everything stale. Well, that's unfair - I mean
most sequels. Besides, Spaceballs was good as a stand-alone movie, much like Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek (well, the first two Shrek movies) and every Disney movie ever.

He could do one based on how the prequel trilogy was superfluous and crappy, which might be OK. But I agree, more or less.

Like how Dark Helmet and Lone Starr totally know each other, but keep
just missing bumping in to each other? Or how they all grew up in the same orphanage/preschool?

Oh how Dark helmet is actually Lone Starr's father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.

Or how about taking ever single sequel cliche in existence and just
running with 'em? Seriously, it'd be "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money" because the first one obviously didn't make enough. Besides, they have a new Star Trek movie to parody and Star Wars 1, 2, and 3 to openly mock. Heck, they could pull a Shrek and point out how hard it is for Miss Amazon Action Princess to find a suitable husband. (Her mother's choices were Lonestar or Sleeping Beauty, after all...)
Replacing John Candy would be hard, though...
EDIT: Heh... Heheheheheheh... Who says she needs a
prince or even a
husband for that matter? Eeeeeeehehehehehehehehe...

Do I make myself clear?
Spaceballs was a noble movie that deserves to rest in peace, not be resurrected into a soulless and commercialized monstrosity.
Then, you obviously didn't see this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceballs:_The_Animated_Series).
I have yet another reason for hating G4 now...

Well, I'd say it's obviously time for a Spaceballs remake!
Hollywood MUST keep re-using stories!
They simply can't create anything original, lest it stimulate independent thought! Thought that exists outside The Machine cannot be allowed...
Thank you for that relevant and topical post, Alondro! Why, I wanted to know your feelings on Hollywood and feel that I am now a better person for having heard them again! You're awesome. 8D

No, but I've heard

Only pieces of it, and that alone has destroyed all faith I have ever or ever will have in the film industry.
That and Avatar. Avatar did a lot of faith destroying too.

Don't let that stop you from hating it with a passion hotter than a thousand dying suns! :V
But really, the movie itself wasn't that bad, but the reasons it had redeeming qualities annoyed me. (I.E It would have sucked completely had they not spent money by the truckload making it... which is a shame really. A few billion dollars can turn a crappy idea into a good movie, but why do that when there are good ideas?)
I know I used to be in on the avatar bashing.
It was fun bashing it, it was also fun watching it.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie, as well as making fun of it.
It's rare in that it fufilled both purposes :3

Quote from: Unsilenced on May 08, 2010, 07:18:11 AMA few billion dollars can turn a crappy idea into a good movie
Nope, though many have tried. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_biggest_box_office_bombs)
To be honest, just because the movie mightn't have been as good without the money, doesn't mean that the movie is good because of it. The emotions and feelings you get as you watch a movie, to just say that you felt that way because they put 'money' into the movie is a hugely dehumanising way of viewing the experience.
