But, you know the bizarre thing is that it looks like something else entirely in the first minute -- like an extenuated fat dusky yellow French fry or something like that ... Then suddenly in the final seconds of that scene it turns into a carrot! ... Did she maybe have a retake and complain "Peter I hate carrots give me something else to chomp & then splice it in" ?!?!<br /><br />Another weird thing is that I've just watched "The Mirror Has Two Faces" & seen her chomp another dang carrot! ... And yet, that CAN'T be the "other movie" I was thinking of in my previous -- because I'd definitely never seen it before right now!<br /><br />The mysteries of Barbra ...poochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747791020366880257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-85707057993588620052022-03-26T16:48:44.081-07:002022-03-26T16:48:44.081-07:00Peter,
Your use of the following comment regardin...Peter,<br /><br />Your use of the following comment regarding "Blazing Saddles":<br /><br />"...it’s one of the few modern movie comedies that can still leave fans gasping for air while laughing at the same jokes for the hundredth time,"<br /><br />...applies for me with this one. Won't bother detailing them, but there are a half-dozen scenes that I laugh at hysterically, even as I am adding to the double-digit count of the number of times I've seen them. Pretty sure that the first time my daughter-in-law saw my reaction to one of these scenes, she thought I was out of my mind.

Although as far as I know one never sees her chomp a carrot in this film (unless I missed it); it's still apropos since she does indeed play the Bugs Bunny, kooky disrupter role in the film ... But the weird thing is that she DOES chomp on a carrot in "The Owl & The Pussycat" ! ... And maybe in some OTHER movie ... I have this feeling that I saw her chomping a carrot in some film other than that one or this one -- but I can't think what ...<br /><br />As far as the criticisms, I can understand where they're coming from ... But I think this film was GOING FOR an "artificial cartoonish farce" feeling deliberately -- so you kinda have to take it at that level I guess ...poochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747791020366880257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-13206920399785128292016-05-19T20:28:45.875-07:002016-05-19T20:28:45.875-07:00Liam Dunn rules!Liam Dunn rules!Schmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633549138993215036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-4490139280975466422014-09-14T21:37:16.097-07:002014-09-14T21:37:16.097-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.NYCPaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325479721705577329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823340817818385797.post-74758626940505251412013-06-06T13:35:58.716-07:002013-06-06T13:35:58.716-07:00Streisand looks so fetching in her role!

In my opinion one of the best slapstick comedies of the 70's and a shining moment for Babs films. The film's appeal rides on one core foundation, slapstick and silly nonsense type of comedy. The casting is superb, everybody in this is great. And Ryan O Neal's character is supposed to be a nerdy shallow type and I think he plays it great, I find him quite funny in this and my favorite (of many) lines is when they're inside the Chinese Dragon and he say's "Well, there's not much to see actually, we're inside a Chinese Dragon." The way he says it cracks me up. But as you so nicely point out, that's my experience, may not be the same for others. This one's definitely a Tommy fav!

Ryan O' Neal's personality is bland, but I think it works here as it makes a nice contrast to Streisand's wacky one and for the most part I think he was just playing himself.<br /><br />Madeline Kahn is hilarious in fact I would say she is the funniest thing about this movie and although she went on to play many different roles I still think this one is her best. The always relieable Kenneth Mars is good too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
