I grew up in Aurora. It was a pretty big deal that they featured the town in this movie, even if it was a back-handed compliment from the SNL writers. I try not to go back if I can help it. The old neighborhood has.... changed.....
I thought it would be stupid - it was hilarious! Of course, Blazing Saddles takes it. (I still have a wooden half dollar from the AZ premiere - Says 'Hi, I'm Mel, Trust me' on one side, E Pluribus Hilarious on the other! With Mel in an Indian headdress emblazoned on it, of course!
That's nothing. Blazing Saddles is 43 yrs old today.
ReplyDeleteI missed Wayne's World --not.
