    The Producers

    ★★½

    I think I wanted to watch this because of it’s feature in Curb. 

    I liked Blazing Saddles, love Spaceballs, The Producers was fine. Maybe because I basically knew what it was going in it eliminated the comedic element of surprise. It’s missing some of the juice that Mel Brooks’ bangers have.

    Gene Wilder has great delivery, but it didn’t carry it for me. Mel Brooks movies are funny, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s an especially good filmmaker / director

    Willem Defoe as the extremely homophobic, homosexual FBI agent is really a fascinating look into the worldview of the late 90s Irish American  

    Scenes from this movie have popped into my thoughts for the majority of my life, specifically the toilet being dropped…

    Chosen at random scrolling Kanopy and really glad I watched!

    It’s a funny story about a grouchy Danish community living in Jutland. A French woman fleeing the Paris revolts moves there and becomes their maid and she absolutely fucks their shit up with an incredible French feast. 

    It’s like the joke about showing Dubstep to a Victorian child, but it’s showing Danish people good food. 

    Definitely my new favorite food movie - Taste of Things was great, but lacked the…
