@lauren I just showed this to our 13 year old. They thought it was hilarious. Also it was a great excuse for us to pause and chat about things along the way, causing some very serious discussion, and some very frivolous. Much more so than most other movies. If we aren't allowed, or given opportunity like this, to have those discussions, then the next generations would grow up even more uninformed and oblivious than we already are.

@lauren in the 80s, the campfire fart scene had our whole teenage friends group in fits off laughter and especially myself

One of the funniest movies of all time, imo.

@lauren "not available in your country". meh. thankfully it's been sitting on my DVD shelf for many years already.

@lauren In Brooks' autobiography, he mentions how he handles "notes" from the studio. He says, "You are right. That bit is out. I'll take care of it." Then he ignored them and left it in.

Partly this is due to his lawyer for his first movie including "final cut" in the contract. And he's had that ever since.

To be fair, he was _ruthless_ when editing. If a joke didn't get a laugh in test showings, it was out. Period.

Check utoob; reactors of all kinds _laugh_. They get it, just fine.
