      That argument has been used so much lately. Just a few months ago someone asked Mel Brooks if Blazing Saddles could be made today. He said it couldn't be made in the 70's, but they did it anyways. Sure, you probably couldn't make a blockbuster with this style of humor, and sure the people who don't understand satire are able to voice their complaints more loudly because of social media. But this movie could still easily get made today.

    If I remember correctly, when Ben Stiller approached Tom Cruise for the movie (which he never thought he'd accept) all Tom said is that he wanted "fat fingers." Tom basically created the whole role of Les Grossman, including that dance.

    Ben Stiller comes from a family in show business. His mother was Ann Meara and his dad was Jerry Stiller - both who have been in films and especially on television for years. Acting and comedy is on his blood.

    Actually the reason why you believe that it's uncomfortable to laugh at few jokes is because recent society has indoctrinated everyone to believe that comedy is offensive. Take blazing saddles. What a movie🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    This is such a meta movie. You’d think people would fall out of favour with it considering some of the controversial subject matters. But I think it’s a testament to the films commentary on those subjects that it still holds up.

    Tropic Thunder is one of my one of my favourite movies of all time.
    The director’s death was unexpected and hilarious. Also Tom Cruise was my favourite part of this film, Les Grossman is one of his most iconic roles. His monologue and threat to Flaming Dragon is the funniest part of the film imo, both parts had me crying of laughter the first time I watched the film.

    Oh and the satire of the movie Platoon totally was funny because that movie was intense. You mentioned the over acting at the beginning with Ben Stiller getting shot. That was a scene from Platoon. A poetic tragic moment in the movie and they went light with it. Loved this light parody. See ya next time.
