Oh I thought this must have been a Spike Lee film...?

Same reason they rebooted Fresh Prince.
The writing and dialog from the 1990s is too intellectual for the current generation.

Compare 1990s hiphop to the auto-tuned mumble rap of today. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Tupac, etc were capable of forming artful and soulful lyrics. Now its all repetitive mispronunciations and incomprehensible gibberish.

I never in my life thought I would regard 1990s hiphop up so highly. It was absolutely trash back then. But what passes today is absolutely putrid.

When will the Blazing Saddles remake come out?

Well, you can bet this white man won't anywhere near the same character in the original. It will be woke...it will go broke.

9:37 wins the internet today.

The Ledger says WM is siding with Mayor ? Is this true ?

Blazing saddles!! Good one!

I read the article which says nothing about race. I assumed the white-Harrelson character would now be a black man. What's up with this thread? Click Bait? Thought so.

click bait? No. Chronicling the collapse of civilization? Yes.

Of course I am being censored for the direct truth, so let me rephrase with added obscurity.
The “White man” in this version will be someone like Seth Rogan or Jonah Hill.
As opposed to someone like Scott Eastwood.

Nope. They already hired the honky for the part. Read the post instead of shooting off your mouth after just reading the headline.

Auto-tuned, mumble rap? Clearly you’re ignorantly pushing a narrative because there are rap artists creating music nowadays that blow the majority of those 90s rappers completely out the water.

As we all know (or should know), there's no way that Blazing Saddles could be remade to do it any justice. Just like "All in the Family" or "Sanford & Son", which are 2 of the best sitcoms ever, "Blazing Saddles" was a product of its time, and today's fragile, pussified American society couldn't handle it. I for one am glad that I'm closer to the end of my life than the beginning.

Looks soft as fuck just like a Jonah Hill or Seth Rogan

It all depends on the popularity or profitability of a particular theme. The Hollywood money men think anything with this racialized theme will make money today so they will reboot forever as long as it makes money. It's cheaper to just reboot the script than to create a new story. How many Batman or Spiderman Star Wars remakes have they made? Same story. If you think there are some works that should never be retouched, forget it. They have no shame or any respect for artistic integrity. It's all about money. Nothing else matters.

Gratuitous profanity is OK? If the title were "Black Men Can't Jump" it would be racist.

Those shows you named and were woke for the 70s. So was Blazing Saddles. It was literally a black and a jew mocking white people for 90 minutes.

Did you not realize that the point of All In The Family was to undermine white male family patriarchs to appear as buffoons like Archie Bunker?

You boomers really think your TV was so edgy compared to the internet? Puhleeze!

@12:50 - Blazing saddles wasn't woke. It was some combination of funny/enlightened/smart. And it wasn't mocking white people. It was mocking racist people and/or stupid people at different times.

And it wouldn't be remade today (or at least not in anything close to the quality of the original) because of fear that the jokes would go over the heads of "woke" people, who wouldn't realize that the jokes weren't on Cleavon Little's character or people of color in general.

12:50 The point of All in the Family was to captivate an audience with shock humor created by challenging traditional values. The buffoonery was considered unique and unconventional so it was instantly interesting and hilarious. Patriarchs of color didn't even exist on T.V. until Cosby unless they were servants. That was really unique. Compared to the old movies and early T.V. this stuff was revolutionary and was the precursor of the internet. When there was nothing else it was all very edgy.

shouldn't it be renamed to "caucasian they can't jump" ? No need to have an offensive title.

He or she probably believes KRS-One to be one of the greatest emcees to ever hold a microphone. Sure, there are some 90s cats who dropped some classic hip hop material. (Every era of hip hop and rap music has bangers.) On a whole, the art form has Evolved. For example, as far as the artistry, Kanye’s Twisted Fantasy album trumps 99% of the 90s albums.

KF got in his feelings when I said no one reads his posts.

Guess you never heard of George Jefferson.

@March 17, 2022 at 11:48 AM the correct analogy would be Black Men Can't Swim, and the lead character Will Smith would end up being Phelpslike.

I can't wait until they reboot Back to the Future or The Lost Boys.

Elizabeth was a house maid. And George was as racist as Archie.

You would have done better with John Amos and Good Times

“Didn’t even exist until
Cosby unless they were servants.”

Stop talking. Just stop
Talking, cause you’re embarrassing us.

@8:17 AM
Phelps-like, not “Phelpslike.”

You wasted a free education.
