If they are only doing this for Blazing Saddles yes I think that is stupid. If they do it for other movies like Colors or a live adaption of Huckleberry Fin I don't really have an issue with it. I agree there are too many people who are too damn sensitive but I would rather give someone fair warning that what they're going to see and hear might offend their sensibilities than to have someone watch it because they thought it was going to be the Magnificent Seven and come away shocked..
Isn’t Blazing Saddles under the Comedy section Away from the Nobody was watching slavery era drama Gone with the Wind section ? @Os Trigonum
lol. if someone watches it thinking it's gonna be the Magnificent Seven then someone needs a lesson on how to use google
btw rewatched 3:10 to Yuma last night (the Christian Bale/Russell Crowe remake), and I highly recommend it
Well If they are doing this They should have given me an intro to the new looney tunes telling me why hunters suddenly don’t have guns for duck and rabbit hunting. also they have to explain to me why ducks and rabbits are able to talk too @Invisible Fan @Xerobull
Who decides which warnings? I think all those cop/murder CSI shows deserve a warning for being mental ****, the religious shows deserve a warning, the news deserves a warning. . . .
It’s not a warning it’s a full introduction People who are overly sensitive won’t even watch this old movie Suddenly this is necessary now for this movie? A 70s comedy where’s the PhD rape scene warning introduction for Game of Thrones? Are these viewers smart enough to know this ain’t real ?
Here's part of the intro I just don't see what's wrong with that. It's not even a warning as much as explanation.
I can recall driving to the theatre in 1974 to see this, smoking a big one on the way, and expecting to see a funny Mel Brooks flick. It wasn’t funny. It was hysterical! This is the description of Blazing Saddles from Wikipedia. It’s actually quite good. (assume a hint of astonishment in that last comment) Blazing Saddles is a 1974 American satirical Western black comedy film directed by Mel Brooks. Starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, the film was written by Brooks, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Alan Uger, and was based on Bergman's story and draft.[4] The film received generally positive reviews from critics and audiences, was nominated for three Academy Awards and is ranked No. 6 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Laughs list. Brooks appears in three supporting roles, Governor William J. Le Petomane, a Yiddish-speaking Native American chief and "a director" in line to help invade Rock Ridge (a nod to Hitchcock); he also dubs lines for one of Lili von Shtupp's backing troupe. The supporting cast includes Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, and David Huddleston, as well as Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, and Harvey Korman. Bandleader Count Basie has a cameo as himself, appearing with his orchestra. The film satirizes the racism obscured by myth-making Hollywood accounts of the American West, with the hero being a black sheriff in an all-white town. The film is full of deliberate anachronisms, from the Count Basie Orchestra playing "April in Paris" in the Wild West, to Slim Pickens referring to the Wide World of Sports. In 2006, Blazing Saddles was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.[5][6][7]
HBO is assuming you are an over sensitive idiot And would have an emotional breakdown watching this movie they fail to understand who the audience really is the majority are old people who already saw the movie Do they need to explain to people who watch the Twilight movies why these teenager vampires can walk in the sunlight??
Three minute introduction??!!!!! Just put an freaking rated R sign HBO should be punched It’s bad enough you have to watch their ads before watching a movie or show also these punks don’t support 4K and HDR and Dolby Atmos they assume we are suckers with crap televisions
I’m actually leaning with you on this Blazing Saddles issue (‘13er to a 99er). However, HBO has the best assortment of original programming. Bar none. The worst part about HBO is having THREE separate apps with varying subscription options based on what kind of device you have. I have HBO Now on the Roku downstairs, but my PS4 upstairs only has the new HBO Max so I can’t watch it
