Blazing Saddles
…Eh. I liked it better than High Anxiety, but I have a lot of the same complaints — too slow, lots of sequences that kind of aren’t joking, too much Madeline Kahn for no apparent reason other than that she’s hot, which…she is? I mean, she’s fine, but come on. Cut that cabaret scene short, please, nobody cares. Cleavon Little is captivating, though. The movie needed 100 percent more him and Gene Wilder sitting around talking and 100 percent less Harvey Korman, of whom a little goes a long way, I’m finding. (6/16/06)
