First, I want to apologize for not posting in over a month. This is a continuation of the week I wanted to dedicate strictly to Mel Brooks Films. So, without further ado, I present: The First movie night.
After high school, me and my friends struggled to keep in touch. It was upsetting because we were so close, we never wanted our high school relationship to end.
Then, it hit me. I felt like an idiot for not realizing it sooner.... MOVIE NIGHT!!
Of course, the best way to hangout with my friends AND have something to blog about, why hadn't I thought of it before?
I sent out a mass text and Facebook invite and the date was set. The only question that was looming over their heads, was what the movie was going to be. They came to my house all asking the same question: "What's the movie?"
We ordered a pizza and watched an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" while we waited, it was legen-, wait for it,-dary!
So, the pizza arrived, "How I Met Your Mother" was over, and I was ready to reveal the movie title.
It was a Mel Brooks film that is, no lie, my absolute favorite.... "Spaceballs"!
"Spaceballs" is a comedy in which Mel Brooks plays President Skroob and the amazing Yogurt, John Candy plays a 'Mog' named Barf, Bill Pullman played Lone Star, Daphne Zuniga played Princess Vespa, and Rick Moranis plays Dark Helmet. The movie was released in 1987, yes, you do need to know this.
"Spaceballs" is an adventure between a run-away princess (Zuniga) and her maid of honor, Dot (played by Joan Rivers) who is captured by Spaceballs (An army from the planet, wouldn't you guess it?, Spaceball). Her father, King Roland (played by Dick Van Patten) hires Lone Star (Pullman) and his best friend Barf (Candy) to rescue her and bring her back to her home planet, Planet Druidia. It's a silly adventure between the four that ends li-(BLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEp)- and that's just amazingly amazing! Haha, Skroob (Brooks).
As much as I want to say that we watched the movie intently and noticed every hilarious detail, I cannot. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, we ended up playing Apples to Apples with the movie as a background noise. I would occasionally stop the game to point out a funny part, but we mostly played the game.
The good news is we started doing 'Monthly Movie Night', with a different host/hostess each month. I get to keep up with them no matter what. It's an awesome time. <3
I recommend this movie for people over the age of 18, they are most likely to understand the jokes. The movie is rated "PG". Again, this is one of my all time favorite movies and I don't understand why people may not like it. I just say they don't have a funny bone.
