I rewatched the real movie, and still think "I fell on my keys" could be the funniest line.
People who think Zero is 'overacting' don't get it.

I did see the new movie version. It's the same script (well, about half of it) performed moderately well but not great, but they keep stopping the comedy to sing songs.

i saw the trailer of the Lane-Broderick movie on the original's DVD; that was a mistaken project, no matter how good the stage version was.

I can beat that, I saw the stage production, or a stage production - renders the movie remake even more redundant.

i know, it's 40 minutes, but it's a really good dive into the ethics of satire

Yeah, I watched it earlier today. I've liked Ellis's videos since the (unfortunately named) Nostalgia Chick days, but her recent long-form videos under the Chez Lindsay title have been mostly top-notch.

Like, it seems she's deliberately distinguishing herself from other video critics of this type (including her former spear counterpart) by refusing to appeal to the lowest common denominator or to play a character with a "funny" shtick.

the opening sequence of THE PRODUCERS is one of my favorite sequences in all of film

yes she will pull a quote straight from academic texts. she is really good at mixing the "high and low" (her Transformers videos are really good at this) and good with pacing/editing/etc. you can tell she writes this all out, thinks about it, figures out the most succinct way to present topics, throws in a joke or two, etc. she is really really good. usually these things are either shallow listicles or somebody droning on obviously in love with hearing themselves sound smart (or prove a point). her point is usually "let's think about this from a film/art theory perspective", just an honest and open intellectual engagement with the work, and you come away w a variety of opinions, theories.

Kind of a weird statement considering the cardboard belt line appears in the musical as well

It was a comment on Mel Brooks' career trajectory pre- and post-remake.

I got free tickets to see this show live when it opened in Toronto, and the only bit that really struck me was the song the lead actor performs from jail, summarizing the events of the play, pausing mid-song to duplicate the show intermission.
