In order to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Blazing Saddles, The Guardian trots out an article with a cliche headline about how it couldn't be made today :marseyeyeroll: which promptly gets the redditoids seething :soysnooseethe:.

Now, don't get me wrong. It's a tiresome topic like "Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?" Or "Tropic Thunder couldn't be made today" but we all know these twats are malding :marseymalding: because this statement critiques woke culture :soyjakhipster:. God knows /r/movies isn't exactly a place for having a healthy discussion outside of the same dozen circlejerk topics :marseyeyeroll:.

God darn I hate these people so much

Of course it couldn't be made today; its entire purpose and concept was deliberately built around mocking and parodying the then actively popular Western movie and television serial genre that were based around romanticizing an era that never really happened at all in they ways that were commonly portrayed.

Its really just another expression of "everything is political". A movie cant be a parody of a film genre, it has to actually be a deeper message about politics and society :marseysociety2:

this statement critiques woke culture

But 'woke' doesn't exist

Define woke

You can't, can you?

People that believe Blazing Saddles couldn't get made today never actually understood the movie.

Redditors somehow think they are the only people that understand what the movie is about

Fight club and wolf of street are the perfect examples for this. Every time they get mentioned it's words words words about how people misinterpreted the movie

>I like how machismo is portrayed and rewarded with short-term catharsis and I want to have a threesome with Helena Bonham Carter and Margot Robbie

“Actually they're movies about toxic masculinity”
