You couldn't make Blazing Saddles these days because the kids wouldn't know why Howard Johnson, who's best known these days as a hotel chain, would be talking about protecting his ice cream stand.

I'm pretty old and I don't think I get that joke, either.

Golfinger. I watched it for the first time couple years ago. I couldn't believe the misogyny. It was disturbing.

You're right, and a good insight into institutional misogyny is that most bond movies were heralded as being feminist for showing scantily clad woman doing strong things but always strangely succumbing to Bond in the end. We've come far and still far to go

What? You don't go around slapping girls in the bum? Casually harassing them? Painting them in gold?

You couldn't make Citizen Kane because flashbacks and other innovative filming techniques are now the norm.

You couldn't make 8 heads in a duffle bag today, because people would be like "what the fuck? This is just 8 heads in a duffle bag. Did I just pay to buy a decades old movie?"

Milo and Oatis - because you can't murder animals for movies anymore.

Roar- Hollywood is just to soft these days

That's slightly political.

You couldn't make Home Alone 2: Lost in New York today because Macaulay Culkin is an adult now and nobody wants to see a grown man playing a young child.

You couldn’t make Toy Story today because NOBODY should be okay with how disturbing Sid’s face is.

On a side note, with all the remakes that are made nowadays, why has there not been a shot-for-shot remake of Toy Story using Pixar’s modern tech? Please, fix those terrifying lips. PLEASE
