You couldn't Make Blazing Saddles today.

[Billy_Kinetta]

Offworlder (Atreides/Sully) arrives on planet as part of an imperialist takeover (Padishah Empire- Lansraad - Guild - CHOAM/RDA) and saves the indigenous tribes (Fremen/N'avi), who have control over a rare element (Melange/Unobtainium) available nowhere else in the universe (Arrakis/Pandora), from said imperialists by virtue of special advantage (Bene Gesserit training - spice intake/Eywa) and drives them away.

So your argument is that both have a McGufffin? Nearly every movie as a McGuffin.

The density of your skull is astonishing to behold.

 

[westwall]

That's correct. Whiney douchebags, like you, would prevent it.

Wow, someone else who missed the point.

reality- there is no PC censorship. Just corporate censorship.

South Park is in it's 20th season or so... and they are about as politically incorrect as they get.

Yes, because they have the balls to say "fuck you", to people, like you.

Blazing Saddles - 1974 --- Rooster Cogburn - 1975, The Outlaw Josey Wales - 1976, The Shootist - 1976, The Missouri Breaks - 1976, Goin' South - 1978, The Long Riders - 1980, Tom Horn - 1980, Windwalker - 1981, The Grey Fox - 1982, Pale Rider - 1985 ...

Not a complete list and not inclusive of a number of Western genre miniseries produced for television.

None of those were classic westerns... They were kind of "Gritty realistic"

Let's take Josey Wales.. Here you have a movie where the Army is considered the bad guys, killing POW's after they surrender. You have a near rape of a Native American woman, you have a speech by Wales about how the Native Americans were slaughtered so they have a common enemy in the white man. This is something you'd NEVER have seen in a John Wayne 1950's western where the good guys wore the white hats and the bad guys wore the black hats.

..there's another scene in a movie with John Wayne where a soldier or cowboy grabs a NA chief/roughly handles the chief and JW asks the soldier for a light or something...then JW discreetly tells him if he handles the chief like that again, JW would smack him--something like that= showing great respect for the NA/NAs
..I forget which movie it is..I'll try to find it

Umm...I give you The Quick and the Dead...typical white hat black hat Western. Dumbass

But even then, they HAVE been censored.

..in The War Wagon, John Wayne was allied and friendly with the NAs to the common enemy--evil whites..John Wayne's friend was an NA
...in Big Jake, John Wayne's friend is a NA

Missing the point again, but that's okay.

Watch the video
Then have a grown up explain the bigs words to you.
Then get back to me.

Don't bother. Joey knows what he knows, and is NEVER deterred by anything as trivial as FACTS!

Bet you didn't watch the video, either, Ditchweed.

You mean the movie that got shitty reviews?

The Quick and the Dead (1995)

Actually, that movie was kind of morally gray, as most of the characters were there to murder other people for money. Except for Sharon Stone, she just wanted to get close enough to kill Gene Hackman for, um, reasons.

So you kind of proven my point.

 

[JoeB131]

Yes, because they have the balls to say "fuck you", to people, like you.

Except, not really. For instance, you haven't seen the Scientology episode since it first aired.

They also won't show the episode where CHristopher Reeve was sucking the stem cells out of fetuses.

Great movie. She was there for revenge —- helped the young girl. White Hat. Gene Hackman typical black hat. Russell Crowe the typical redemption case. You’re an idiot. But we already knew that.

So, um, no, she really wasn't a white hat, as she used deception to get close enough to kill Hackman, instead of the law, which is what a White Hat cowboy of the 1950's would do.

Shit movie.. absolute garbage.

Hackman bribed the law. Typical in most Eastwood movies they take the law into their own hands. She kills him fairly in a duel. You’re such a dumbass it’s hilarious. Thankfully you didn’t reproduce and your dumbassery dies with you and soon since you’re old.

Wow, you actually thought that was a good movie... I kind of feel for you, they must have bullied you really bad when you were little. Poor baby.

That is your correlation? You’re old. Maybe it was tailored toward a younger crowd? LOL

 

[xband]

I could be cast for a supporting role in High Anxiety.

Mongo should have won an Oscar! Supposedly the Cleavon Little part was going to be offered to Richard Pryor.

In that era they still sent messages out. It wasn't red man bad and white man good.

..

There are many other examples similar to that. In the movie McLintock, John Wayne's character defends the Indian chiefs at a government hearing. In Chisum, he has a scene where he threatens to kill an Army Sergeant for manhandling White Buffalo, a Prince of the Comanche nation. In Fort Apache, he has a confrontation with his regimental commander, played by Henry Fonda, over his treatment of Cochise.
