Before the release of Blazing Saddles the studio was getting nervous about how extreme the movie was, how tasteless some of the humor was and frequent use of the n-word. Mel Brooks promised to make some edits to remove some of the racial slurs, to tone down the fart scene and make the film just a tiny bit less wild. Brooks left in every single n-word, left in the fart scene and cut ONE and only one joke from the entire movie. What joke did Mel cut? There's a famous scene where Lili von Shtupp seduces Sheriff Bart with the lights out. She asks him if it's true his people are "gifted" like she's heard. There's the sound of a zipper and Lili excitedly says "It's Twue!! It's Twue!!"



Bart's next line was cut. It would have been:

'I hate to disillusion you, ma'am, but you're sucking on my elbow.'"

Ryan Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson.

Which means I clearly do not keep up with my celeb gossip.

Allegedly Clint Eastwood asked John Wayne to make a western with him and John Wayne told him off, blaming him for the bastardization of the genre.

No matter how many times I look it up I can't remember what Amerigo Vespucci actually did.


Then I remember why: His lifes work was not pushed in history class because of political reasons.
He actually did more than Columbus but was shafted so Columbus could get more glory.

But I've never shown any interest in semen.

I've never googled semen.

Wait a second....That doesn't sound right.
