Also Super Troopers.

I love Breakfast at Tiffany’s except for the Japanese neighbor part. As an Asian person it spoils the whole movie for me. I wish they’d release it without those parts.

Why?

The whole thing is about tricking women to sleep with them. It’s all crude sexual jokes, plus some jokes about gay people and minorities. I happen to love the movie, but in todays woke world it would not be received well as benign as it is- perhaps this is why we don’t have funny movies anymore and everything is a superhero movie with no substance.

American pie would also never be made, particularly the first movie where they film the exchange student unknowingly over a webcam.

Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Pretty Woman

I don't love either of them, but they haven't aged well at all.

“Heathers.”

Which is ironic because they tried to make it a series on Paramount a couple of years ago but it got killed since it was supposed to launch soon after Parkland. It was also bizarre because they flipped the premise to make the woke kids they bullies, which just didn’t work. Still, the send up of suicide and bombing of a school just wouldn’t fly today.

Sometimes I wonder if Republicans like you (I’m NoT a RePuBlIcAn) just don’t read books. Or magazines. Or newspapers. Or if you just sleep through entire conversations. Maybe you just don’t have conversations of any meaning. Because I gotta wonder who lives in 2022 and still uses “woke” as some sort of a slur.

Why couldn’t this be made today?

Because it plays things for laughs that would never fly today - the “tard,” the pedophile, the gay brother, the “may-hee-can workers” etc.

“The -ards pants are completely off.” “Shut up, you stupid little r-“ - and that one was said in a stereotyped Asian accent, mocking the anorexic gal… no way could they make that today. Such a good movie though.

“To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar” has parts that would not allow it to get made as is and are rather shocking to watch now. Given the festering intolerance in the GOP, they’d hate the movie’s overall message of love and acceptance.

There's also a mass shooting played for laughs.

Oh my god I completely forgot about that. And while I wouldn’t say that was an especially funny part, yeah, it didn’t even register that that’s not really joke worthy.

I think there was a thread a while back about how a Snow White remake was cancelled.

DH and I watched Bringing Down the House the other day and hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time. The movie would offend everyone. Betty White as the old racist neighbor was a highlight.

Porky’s

Teachers - anyone remember this movie? Nick Nolte plays a high school teacher who helps one of his students (Laura Dern I think) get an abortion without her parents’ knowledge. No chance that would get made today.
