  • If you have a Nebula subscription, Lindsay Ellis has a fascinating video about Blazing Saddles and why it really couldn’t be made today, but not for the reasons you’d think; it has more to do with the history of the Western genre and the state of race relations in the US than “political correctness.” I wish she’d put it on Youtube.

    So I guess that’s my roundabout answer: any movie that “couldn’t be made today” is probably because of larger social forces than just “too much swearing/violence/nudity/etc.”
