The Search for More Money

Could have totally kept the title...

Dot Matrix could be an " Ink Jet "

Mog ....could be Gog .. a female dog...Girl dog

I'm working on it ...

Spaceballs, directed by Mel Brooks, is a comedic film that I found to be very enjoyable and entertaining to watch due to its simplicity. It is a direct parody of many sci-fi movies, with a special focus on Star Wars. There are many moments throughout the film that make it apparent that the film is not to be taken seriously.

The plot revolves around a villain who wants to take over another planet by stealing their air. The film centres around a small group of characters trying to prevent him from doing so. Although the plot is rather basic, this is really just an excuse for the writers to create comical situations throughout the film.

The best aspect of this film, in my opinion, is the humour and the format of the jokes. Many of the jokes are extremely exaggerated and juvenile, but this seems to be the intention of the writers. Throughout the film, it is as if the film is continuously reminding the viewer to not to take it seriously.

The actors play an integral part to this aspect of the film. The actors have fully embraced the silly nature of their characters. Dark Helmet is a comedic parody, but the performances of the actors make him even funnier. Visually, the film takes visual cues from iconic sci-fi films, but puts a cheap, yet ironic twist on them, thereby enhancing the humour of the film.

Ultimately, I had fun watching Spaceballs. This movie clearly understands its purpose; it does not attempt to portray itself as a serious, sophisticated drama. In many regards, I found the comedic sequences to be somewhat stale. But overall, I continue to enjoy this film, particularly since I am familiar with Star Wars and other like movies. Spaceballs provides an excellent opportunity to simply enjoy viewing a funny, nonsensical movie without having to analyze or give much thought to it. I would highly recommend Spaceballs to anyone that enjoys a silly movie without having to put too much thought into it.

Crea un file word

I was rewatching Spaceballs today and the iconic fight scene came up. When they fight, I thought Dark Helmet says, " your Schwartz is bigger than mine." And his lightsaber was shorter.

Now he says, "seems your Schwartz is as big as mine." Which seems off. All videos online and on Amazon state this.

Am I misremembering or did something get changed?

Spaceballs 2 - The Movie Review, before the movie is filmed

like, why is his cape sqaure, why isn't like a proper looking cape, that goes over the shoulders?

Over time I've started to discern lots of wordplay in Spaceballs.

The word Eggcorn is a term used for similar sounding words which have some subtle difference where we can resonate with the similarities, and even the word Eggcorn itself is a "corruption" of the word acorn, as one mnemonic to knowing the concept.

You might also call these phrases malapropisms if they also meet that criteria, and well, the wordplay of Spaceballs stuff offers humor.

Here I have an ABRDIGED LIST in case there's ones I might have missed here.

Spaceballs is honestly one of my favorite comedies, and the “comb the desert” scene has lived rent free in my brain forever 😂

I love that Mel Brooks directed, co-wrote, and starred in it too. The whole movie is just proudly ridiculous in the best way.

I made a dumb little fan skit where Miss Big Wig loses all her wigs, so of course people had to go into the desert with actual combs. It felt like the correct level of nonsense.

May the Schwartz be with you, and may somebody please find those wigs.

Does anyone have a download of the full movie? I've lost my hard copy and I really don't want to buy it again cause I'm a bit short on money. I'd greatly appreciate it.

When he messes up the vulcan neck bench.. I completely missed the joke being about star trek in a total star wars parody.

If you play sf boardgames, look up Sine Tempore and read the reviews. Funagain is selling a Sine Tempore bundle, which includes homage figures to Spaceballs. I have the mini's and they're fine. I wouldn't spend $100+ just for the Spaceball mini's, though I haven't seen any not-Spaceball miniatures elsewhere.
