Unfortunately, it's usually the folks with the least wit who go about trying to
impart some to the rest of us.

The post from Stephen Lang was on the money.  Best of all, I gained a little
vocabulary reading it.  I never heard the word, "oeuvre" before.  :^)

Thinking about what you and some of the others said, perhaps it wouldn't make it
today.  Where I disagree is in the intent of the bashing.  Many people see it as
bashing blacks, Native Americans, gays, etc.  I saw it as bashing racists and
homophobes.  I guess it's a matter of perspective.

Anyway, I think it's one of the funniest movies of all time, juvenile jokes or
not.  Mel Brooks as a Yiddish-speaking Indian was hysterical.
