I’m surprised there isn’t a segment of the population that didn’t protest to disallow this from happening.

I may have to see if I can make a showing if there’s one in my area.

Im surprised that you’re surprised that more people aren’t surprised.

The dumbfrick inbreds are too stupid to realize they’re the brunt of the joke.

Fandango.

The theaters in BR that usually show them are Perkins Rowe and Juban. So go to Fandango, pull up Perkins Rowe (it has some that Juban won't have) and check every Sunday for the rest of the year. They generally show on Sunday and Wednesday.

May 19: North by NW
Junen 2: Muppet Movie
June 8: LOTR: Fellowship
June 9: Two Towers
June 10: ROTK
June 25: 25th anniversary
July 21: never ending story
August 25: Rear Window
September 15: Blazing Saddles
October 3: Mean Girls
November 17: Fifth Element
December 15: White Christmas


Many of these will be shown again on the following Wednesday and I"m sure they will add more later in the year. They always do.

The Grand Theater chain has had this in its annual Flashback Cinema rotation with no issues.

The population who make up scenarios and complain "X Movie couldn't be shown nowadays! People are too woke" is much greater than the population of people who actually complain about these movies.

It's as simple as that.

Unless the theater is filled with Boomers & Gen Xers, I can't imagine there'd be any contagious laughter you expect from a comedy/theater audience experience. I'd skip.

I've watched too many "React channels" run by white Millennials & Gen Zers watching Blazing Saddles for the first time and 98% of them hold back/muffle their laughter, in their own home, at the politically incorrect bits, as if by laughing out loud on camera makes them complicit racists. They are too stupid & programmed to self-censor without even realizIng those jokes are actually making fun of racists.

Now imagine white millennials & gen z'ers in the theaters sitting a row away from some black people. Some might even outright boo to virtue signal their faux outrage, (even tho the black dudes will be laughing out loud like I've seen them do on their react channels).

What a bizarre statement. Why would you watch more than one “Gen Z reacts to Blazing Saddles” video when it obviously pissed you off? Then you watched enough of them to calculate a 98% response rate?

Well if they did, the movie went completely over their head.



White people are portrayed as racist buffoons outside of Wilder..

I watch Gen Z react channels more often than I should bc there's a high probabilty they genuinely haven't seen a certain older movie before & I'm curious if the movie still delivers for a new generation. The odds are the reactions will be more authentic than the 40-to-50 year old male reactors pretending they've never seen Jurassic Park or any of Arnold's movies (unless the reactors are women watching male-targeted genres which could be believably missed).

However, I've also clicked on those same Gen Zer channels reacting to Blazing Saddles and they are almost identically cringey/self-censoring reactions, to where I no longer click on new channels of girls or boys reacting to Blazing Saddles.

These things need to stop. It's simple, if they don't like it then don't attend.

You can set up alerts on Fandango. However, you'll also get bombarded with all their other marketing emails.

A while back I watched some black guy review it and he thought it was hilarious.

Most white people under 40 are so indoctrinated in political correctness they don't know how to react to the movie. They kind of short circuit.
