"Science Fiction and Parody Satire"


This week i am taking a break from the books and watching the movie "Spaceballs".  So far the introduction was so long.  So far i'm already laughing so hard at the dramatic dark helmet character and the so called storm troopers outfits. I also noticed the dramatic viewings of the spacecrafts that they are in. I immediately noticed that this movie is a star wars parody and so far i am loving it.  I find the sound track to this movie to be very interesting as well, between rock, old pop music, i was definitely not ready for that.  I like how they also added a character named Colonel Sanders and named him Col. Sandurz, and referenced the chicken with him. They then showed a Disney reference when the Dink Dink guys came out and saved them like the 7 dwarfs.  Then it shows a reference to the Wizard of Ox. I had no idea this movie combined so many popular movies of the time.  In this scene we were also introduced to A guy named Yogurt, which i'm guessing which is supposed to be Yoda from Star Wars.  I thought it was hilarious when they took combing the desert literally.  At some point they bring u the spaceship changing into a transformer, which then turns into a giant maid which sucks out the air. I am loving this movie even more and more by the minute.  Overall this movie was fully jam packed with parodies, and i'd definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh.
