Japanese "hard mint" eyedrops. After the first 10 seconds of pain, it's very refreshing. The blue one in the middle, Rohto Ice, was my favorite, but it's been rebranded as "all-in-one" and I heard, made less strong.

I remember watching some of it. It had 8 episodes, and I think I got through the first two, maybe part of the third before I just gave up.

It was woefully apparent that Mel had almost nothing to do with it.

[-]

guyako@reddit

That’s exactly what happened. Mel was a producer, which meant he supervised things. Maybe made some script and edit suggestions, but was not as involved as a writer or director would be.

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

It doesn't even mean that necessarily anymoree. It's become nearly meaningless. Producer can be given as a title for ego. A lot of actors are insisting they be listed as such anytime they are in something. It used to be a job, then it was a way to get a cut of the box-office or infer creative input. Now it's just whatever.

[-]

MmmSteaky@reddit

*imply

[-]

Mindless-Stuff2771k@reddit

It's about residuals. Under SAG and other movie union and contract rules, getting listed as a Producer adds a point or two to your residual percentages. If you are an actor or own an IP that someone really wants ... Getting a producer credit is additional financial gravy.. And actually "Production" doesn't require any specific work, or more work (for actors, writers, etc) on the project itself.

[-]

BeardiusMaximus7@reddit

Mel was credited as a producer, narrator, and as a writer.

There were a TON of writers on this thing, including folks who were actually in the episodes, like Wanda Sykes and Nick Kroll - and according to IMDB every one of the writers wrote on all 8 episodes, so there's that, too.

I agree, it was a huge letdown. I am also hoping Space Balls return doesn't have the same tone.

[-]

SyrioForel@reddit

Spaceballs is rated PG, it’s a silly comedy with mostly children-friendly jokes. It’s not “Kill Tony”, it doesn’t need to have any edgy humor.

[-]

cellshock7@reddit

Tell me you've never seen the movie Spaceballs without telling me you've never seen the movie Spaceballs lol. There's a scene where they compare lightsabers like they're their dicks for crying out loud, definitely not PG.

80's movies pushed the boundaries of PG just like modern movies push the boundaries of PG-13 (which btw was created only 3 years before this movie came out).

Thinking back on it, it's kinda funny that when Spaceballs came out in 1987, one criticism I heard about it was that it was a little late to be doing Star Wars parodies.

[-]

GuySmiley369@reddit

What just shut down again?

[-]

Imaginary_Scene2493@reddit

Star Trek. Paramount’s new owner doesn’t like the production company that has had the exclusive license to make new Star Trek projects for the past decade, and the contract runs out at the end of this year, so everything that’s not already filmed is canceled. There’s still 2.5 seasons filmed and going through post-production while they decide on a future direction.

[-]

GuySmiley369@reddit

WTF?! I don’t care about much of the other crap that they’ve come out with, but Strange New Worlds is awesome. I’ll be sad if they don’t find a way to save that.

[-]

Imaginary_Scene2493@reddit

SNW was planned as 5 seasons, and they’re ending up with 4.5. The last season and a half have already filmed.

[-]

GuySmiley369@reddit

Well, losing half a season sucks, but at least they are getting most of it. I’ve tried to watch all of the new stuff and so far SNW was the only thing I really enjoyed.

[-]

Imaginary_Scene2493@reddit

I’m glad they got enough notice to write the half season as a send off.

Star Fleet Academy is going to end at season 2, and there are hints from producer interviews that it will end with loose threads if not an outright cliffhanger.

Did you try Lower Decks and Prodigy? Both are animated but pretty well regarded by much of the fanbase compared to Discovery and Academy.

[-]

GuySmiley369@reddit

I thought lower decks was funny, and could watch it for the humor. But animated doesn’t really do it for me, not when I am trying to watch sci-fi at least.

duckswtfpwn@reddit

Absolutely love Strange New Worlds. I don't know why, but it truly feels like authentic Star Trek, but what do I know? I'm not a Trekkie, but I enjoyed the OG Movies, Next Generation, and the new reboot movies. Well 3rd one was kinda eh, but I was still was entertained.

[-]

regeya@reddit

I was a bigger fan of Trek than of Star Wars when I was a kid, not even lying. I know people criticize the current NCC-1701 for being spacious but to me it's a love letter to all of Star Trek. The interior takes cues from the NX-01 on the prequel Enterprise, the engine room is is like a gigantic version of the TOS engine room, and the bridge is a mix of TOS, 2009, and the TOS movies. As Gene Roddenberry said of Klingons in The Motion Picture, it looks different because they have money to do it right now.

[-]

djsynrgy@reddit

The rumors I'm seeing suggest that they're pushing for (tentatively titled) Star Trek: Year One; a spin-off from Strange New Worlds, following that series' version of the TOS characters after Kirk becomes captain of the Enterprise.

I'd definitely be down for that.

I'd also be cool with another movie or three from the Kelvinverse. The casting/chemistry in those does a lot to make up for where the plots fall short, IMHO.

[-]

Imaginary_Scene2493@reddit

Supposedly Year One is not happening because they’re already auctioning off parts of the SNW and SFA sets.

There is a movie script being written, though I think they are avoiding the Kelvinverse due to actor availability: https://deadline.com/2025/11/star-trek-movie-jonathan-goldstein-john-francis-daley-1236616716/

Isn't Mel Brooks just acting, and probably executive producer? He's close to 100 years old, so it's not like he's going to be super hands on with the project. There was also that really crappy Spaceballs animated series, which feels even more irrelevant with Futurama existing already. For what should be an easy excuse to spoof the JJ Abrams Star Wars and throw in some jabs at modern Star Trek, it'll probably be more in line with the Scary Movie franchise, with dumb dick and balls jokes.

I think this is a great title.

"That scene reminds me of that bit in Spaceballs"

"Which Spaceballs?"

"The New One"

I think it’ll be more a play on reading the script a lac”Robin Hood Men in Toghts” but someone the wrong one.

I always enjoy that this is Tim Russ, who plays Tuvok in Star Trek Voyager.

[-]

rhythim313@reddit

Yep, and he made a brief video snarking about how that was his most quotable moment as an actor. Lol.

[-]

burnednotdestroyed@reddit

Which was also hilarious 😂

I think that clip was the best thing to come out of lockdown.

I like Spaceballs-The Pair.

I’m just hoping this wasn’t the flop that the history of the world part 2 was.

BijouWilliams@reddit

History of the World Part 2 makes me so nervous about this.

Rick Moranis, tho...

[-]

ComplexImmediate5140@reddit

Right? Me too. It was so bad.

[-]

BijouWilliams@reddit

Heartbreakingly.

I'm hoping it's so they can name the next one: Spaceballs 2: The Third One

[-]

Imaginary_Scene2493@reddit

Reminds me of a book trilogy my daughter likes:

Book 1: Endling: The Last Book 2: Endling: The First Book 3: Endling: The Only

The last shall be first, and the first shall be… oh, nevermind.

Can we add a '?' At the end?

Space balls II : The Third One?

Hits the sequal line and also implies "a third ball?" For the baser humored such as I.

[-]

Apprehensive_Hat8986@reddit

Who's on Third?

[-]

Platt_Mallar@reddit

I feel like it's taking the piss out of the Star Wars sequels. I approve.

[-]

platypus_farmer42@reddit

I think The Search For More Money would have taken the piss out of them more

[-]

neanderthalman@reddit

But it was expected. So not as funny.

I’d have gone with Spaceballs III: The Search for Spaceballs II: The Search for More Money

Captures all of the original taking the piss out of Star Wars and Star Trek, while introducing a layer of self-deprecation over not releasing a sequel until now.

[-]

jhotenko@reddit

That title has been kicked around since Spaceballs was in theaters. It used to be funny. It still is, but it used to be too.

Personally, I think it should be named "Spaceballs VII" with no context whatsoever

[-]

Platt_Mallar@reddit

That's the exact title my wife suggested.

[-]

SpaceLemur34@reddit

Did you watch the video? He found the money. It was in the basement.

[-]

burger-breath@reddit

Title is excellent, a nod to the Star Wars and other sequels re-hashing everything to death to be "safe" and ...get more money

[-]

I_Died_Once@reddit

I think they should have done Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2

Then, you could have inserted a whole new cast, characters, and it would have fit the entire narrative perfectly

[-]

Rare-Boss2640@reddit

Although, i literally just called it “the new one” aloud before reading f the post

[-]

Omega_Boost24@reddit

Oh god hes's great!

THE NEW ONE it is for me!

Silent_Creme3278@reddit

It better not turn out crap. I am so sick of remakes that are either crap or you are just seeing same jokes with new actors.

And I think it will turn out crap because the things that made Nell brooks funny are shunned by society now. Even though people laugh. They just hate themselves for finding it funny.

[-]

Procrasturbating@reddit

This movie could be one of the greatest letdowns or greatest comedic achievements in history. I can’t wait either way!

[-]

Mcdiglingdunker@reddit

Very excited, I can't wait to see the new merch as I missed out on the talking Yogurt doll the last go round.

Dicky_Penisburg@reddit

I'm still pissed about the flamethrower

KudosOfTheFroond@reddit

I am beyond chuffed that Rick Moranis is coming out of retirement for this movie!! You bet your ass I’ll be there opening night, I’ll probably watch it multiple times that first weekend.

Spaceballs was a cornerstone of my childhood, this is the sequel I have been most excited for in decades
