I don't know what's worse - that you had make that reference or that I got the reference.

(That is one of my brother's favorite movies.....and definitely not one of mine.)

I just want to know what movie used "plethora" as dialogue. Do they also use some of my other favorite words? IE: Bailiwick & Crepuscular.

Three Amigos.

Keep up.

I'm behind. And, I've never seen Three Amigos. Both surprising, I know.

I learned the word "plethora" from that movie.

Whenever I buy someone a sweater as a gift it makes me giggle.

I've never seen Blazing Saddles. I've never really considered Mel Brooks to be scraping the outer borders of moderately amusing let alone a comedic genius.

Just watched about 40 minutes of Blazing Saddles on AMC. I know it was edited but I just really don't get whatever it is that makes so many people love it or Mel Brooks in general. He's just so broad and obvious and schticky.

And yet Gene Wilder is a genius. A genius who made so many really bad movies.

Perhaps that's why Young Frankenstein really stands out among the Mel Brooks ouvre, since it was co-written with Gene Wilder, the genius who made 3 good movies and a lot of bad ones.

Unlike Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon and Woody Allen, Mel Brooks never really stopped writing for Sid Caesar. That said, while I don't adore "Blazing Saddles" as some do, Brooks's shtick is something I've decided I want to laugh at, so I generally do.
