Just... sigh
"Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money" was a joke, until it wasn't. I'm happy to see Mel Brooks being his mercenary self only a step from the grave, but he could probably do better than retreads of old IP. Maybe make fun of the Marvel movies instead?
- IncreasePosts 1y agoTo lampoon the culture, you need to partake in it first. I doubt any 98 year old is doing that to any relevant degree, even if they are still as sharp as a tack. He might have feelings about Ken Jennings as jeopardy host but that might be about it.
- beardedmoose 1y agoIf you’d have read the articles you’d know that Mel is not writing or directing. This is the same director that did Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar.

- candiddevmike 1y agoFar too many movies are lampooning culture these days by adding TikTok or YouTube references (either as memes or directly as a short/"TikTok view"). It's horrible IMO and I think it's going to age very poorly.
- ysavir 1y agoI'm not keeping my hopes up, but I'll reserve judgement until I see it. If it's just "Spaceballs 2: More Spaceballs", then I'll join you in the sentiment. But if it proves to be "Spaceballs 2: Schooling Deadpool in how to Parody the Modern Franchise Blockbuster", then I'll gladly champion it.
- chollida1 1y agoThis seems pretty unfair. Rick Moranis is coming out of a 40 year retirement for this movie. So its hard to level the money grabber on him. John Candy sadly can't come back for this. It seems more likely that they found a script they like finally and the cast considers this to be a fun project for them to do.
- jkmcf 1y agoIt seems more likely that they found a script they like finally and the cast considers this to be a fun project for them to do. They said that about Indiana Jones 4, and it kinda sucked.
- ASalazarMX 1y agoFrom 4 onwards all totally sucked, but it was in part because the first three set the bar too high, and the Last Crusade in particular was such a great closure.
- wkat4242 1y agoWhat about Bill Pullman and Daphne Zuniga though? They'd be nice to see too. I think I've last seen Pullman in independence day.

- modeless 1y agoThat's a good point, where's the Spaceballs of Marvel? Lord knows they deserve it!
- ASalazarMX 1y agoComic books don't have the greatest writing, I'd argue that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is huge enough to be its own parody, specially with sagas where comedy is over the top, like Guardians of The Galaxy or Thor.

- RajT88 1y agoThere is no way this does not take a dig at MCU.
- candiddevmike 1y agoHistory of the World Part 3 sucked, hopefully this one doesn't...
- arp242 1y agoWell, you sound like fun... Spaceballs was criticised at the time of release for being too late and no longer being relevant.
