Lone Star and Dark Helmet reunited.

I have a friend from college that we figured out we were related by 3 in-laws and 2 cousins and us doing the math of "I'm your wife's cousin's spouse's cousin's husband's sister's husband"

"What does that make us?"

"Absolutely nothing"

"But hey we're family!"

Its a small world sometimes

If he really is coming back as dark helmet that is the best return to acting I could ever think of.

[-]

Ashe_Unlimited@reddit

I just hope it's good. Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles are both amazing comedy, but I'm worried we're gonna get a watered down version because of how edgy and "offensive" Mel Brooks' humor is.

Sidenote: I hope John Candy's daughter has a cameo. She looks so much like her dad, and she does some acting.

[-]

Specific_Frame8537@reddit

Edgy and offensive?? have we been watching the same Mel Brooks?

[-]

Apprehensive_Hat8986@reddit

They confuse people joking about their own culture with people "joking" about other people's culture.

They are, in fact, doing this today.

Don't confuse humor about something bad, with something actually bad.

[-]

Not sure about Candy's daughter but Pullmans son Lewis (Sentry and Bob in Maverick) is playing his son in this one.

[-]

Snoo-35041@reddit

Josh Gad wrote Central Park (the animated show). I don’t have high hopes for this. Especially after the history of the world tv episode sequels. They were so bad.

I hope it’s good. I really do. But, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a musical number in this.

Yeah but the good guys didnt know that, just that he blew up with spaceball one.

People need to consider that he may not be a good actor anymore. He hasn't had a whole lot of practice. Macauley Caulkin was painful to watch in Fallout, and he wasn't acting for only 9 years, and has been acting again for the last 20. Moranis hasn't done any live acting since 1997

[-]

ArchSchnitz@reddit

He has been working, though. He released an album of comedy songs around 2020.

...a bit of a departure from his earlier works.

Nah. Black folks use picks as combs. So when the camera pans over to the final crew searching the desert with a pic (funny on its own), the line ‘we ain’t found shit’ hits hard in the best kinda 80’s way possible.

[-]

TheSteelFactory@reddit

Oh if you study history you will encounter countless stupid people. Mostly not widely known, because we only want the highlights. Like, king X won battle Y from country Z. Reading biographic books is fun to discover more details.

This era is documented much, much, much better. For example, in warfare we are sitting front row with drone shots.

[-]

Luci-Noir@reddit

Even Colin Jost’s impression on SNL doesn’t quite capture it. Like it’s funny and gets the point across but he’s even crazier in real life. I can’t imagine what it’s like for the military leadership who are educated and spent decades in the service to have to deal with it. They could all quit but that wouldn’t really help things either. I have no clue what I would do.

I love Rick Moranis so much. I remember I was about 5 years old when my mom bought Little Shop of Horrors on VHS. I watched it so many times, and was lucky enough to grow up watching him in so many movies. He's probably done some other small stuff, but this is the first photo I've seen of him that isn't at least 2 decades old. He looks great! This makes me happy.

Never knew he was "Dark Helmet" in english. In the german dub he is called "Lord Helmchen" which would translate to "Lord little helm" which is the funnier version, imo.
