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
Mel Brooks: “…but I’m not dead!”
So a sequel of a classic 80s movie, made 40 years later. Is there any chance whatsoever its going to be any good?
As long as they keep the title Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money I’ll be happy. I mean may as well be honest and upfront about it.
Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money
"Moychandising!"
Normally I would say no. However, with Mel Brooks producing, I will hold out hope!
I was unimpressed with Hulu doing a show for "History of the world Part 2"...
Really? I really liked it. It felt exactly like the original, but with updated jokes.
Did they really? Not surprised I hadn’t heard about it
If you enjoyed the original, it's worth a watch for sure.
With lowered expectations, definitely.
Mel Brooks has a good handle on what is funny.
Some legacy sequels have turned out alright, so it's not impossible. I just have to hope that Mel wouldn't do it unless it was worth doing, he's got a pretty good track record.
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.
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.
No no no no no, you leave this property alone.
The Search for More Money
We can't have Spaceballs 2 yet, we haven't seen Spaceballs 3: The Search For Spaceballs 2
Mel Brooks is 97 years old.
Holy shit, he really is 😐
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
Art is dead and no property is above being frankensteined to milk more money from.
Especially not spaceballs
They literally made the joke in the first movie. I think the only thing anyone is really surprised about it that it took so long.
Not really surprising. Space balls totally bombed at theaters.
*Young Frankensteined
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.
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.
Please no...
Josh Gad's genre seems to be Disney, and ruining anything he's in that falls too far outside of that genre.
