I think Ben Stiller just completely missed the mark with Zoolander 2 and it's good that he realizes it. It happens, not everything's gonna land the way you thought it would. But people really need to just stop making sequels to comedies years if not decades after the originals. It rarely ever works because comedy changes over time. Some humor doesn't age well but more importantly some premises just don't work well outside of the era they were conceptualized in because they were a reflection of that period. There are some exceptions of course but I've been burned too many times by shitty - purposeless sequels.
I should probably stop hoping for Blazing Saddles 2
History of the World Part 2 was recently released as an 8-part series. I haven't watched it but reviews indicate it's not terrible.
It has its moments, though not nearly as memorable as the movie. It really helps to be a fan of Mel Brooks' style of humor.
Do we get to SEE, JEWS... IN SPAAACE?
Yes, they actually fulfill that decades-old promise.
EXCELLENT!
