Druidia is in peril! After planet Spaceball depleted it’s precious air supply, President Skroob has ordered evil Dark Helmet to kidnap princess Vespa to hold her hostage in exchange for their air!
But can a pair of unlikely heroes save the world, or hasten its destruction? Find out in Mel Brooks’s SPACEBALLS! (Google.com)
Wasn’t that plot exciting? Most people would read that and think of it as an adventure film. But in fact, the movie was made to be a comedy film! More specifically, a parody of Star wars! Made in 1987, Spaceballs is a movie that almost everyone who has watched it loves! Don’t agree? Here are some facts to prove it. For instance, IMDB rated this movie a whopping 4 stars (IMDB.com)! In fact, they recently started releasing

He had help from his team. One of the biggest jobs in Spaceballs was to make the visual effects just as funny and amazing as the movie. And they knew where to get help. Who better than George lucas himself, the one he’s making a parody from? Once George lucas learned about the movie, he was happy to help Mel brooks in making his movie. For the people who have watched it, they may have noticed a Millennium Falcon parked at the diner. That was placed in by Mel brooks to show his appreciation to George lucas for helping. All in all, it took almost 22 million dollars (Google.com) to make the movie, but Mel brooks said it was worth every …show more content…
But what makes it unique is how the director shoots it. If Mel brooks doesn’t give them right instructions and only gives them scripts, the movie wouldn’t have that ‘real life’ feel, but instead would feel forced and dull. Mel brooks made sure that they had the best instructions he could possibly give them. So voila! It came out like it could not have been any better! “‘People think that he’s such a funny man and everything,’ says Van Patten. ‘Actually, with him, comedy is serious business. As funny as he is, he’s very serious.’ The rest of Brooks’ cast sing his praises as well, noting how the filmmaker (who had already made the spoofs ‘Blazing Saddles’ and ‘Young Frankenstein’) managed to maintain control of the production while also creating a jovial working environment.”
3,2,1 blast off!This is the sound of civilians going to space. Would you want to go to space if you could? Well , I would.I wonder if I am going to Mars. Here is are two reasons I think civilians should go to space.First it can helps many big space programs like NASA and also civilians should go to space to research space.
This year I have decided to write about a topic that has been untapped for a little while. It's come to my attention ever since I've seen the documentary posted January 13 2016. Pbs special (where are we in the galaxy. A documentary about space travel the documentary spoke about current projects as well as not so current. ever since i little i always believe that outer space has made for the gods that's because back then i had a religion that i stood by the force of faith can really isolate people from something that we see every knight like the cosmos no matter how well you hide you cannot escape something as powerful as the grand pool of mysteries that is the cosmos people have always been influenced by that stars whether it's Galileo
Stars, mankind has been staring up at them for thousands of years. Over those many years dreams and mythology have been created to explain those lights in the heavens. Mankind grew sick of just staring, and decided to find ways to discover more about it. Eventually over hundreds of years mankind has, been able to send men to the moon, launch satellites into space, and even send rovers to Mars. These feats of science would have been unimaginable hundreds of years ago, and to others that heard of it was only science fiction. With all these accomplishments, it seems humanity has a bright future of further discovery, but a recent development has surfaced regarding Space Exploration. That debate regards the future of space Exploration, and whether or not It should be continued through NASA or private companies. Various opinions have come from all over the scientific and astronomy concerned world. Others side that NASA should continue its lead into the future, because of its contributions to discovery and the scientific world. Others blame that NASA’s lack of progress in previous projects has lead to a disbelief of Nasa, and a turn to Private industries due to their smaller budgets and recent success. Even some see a balanced future of NASA working with private companies, and even healthy competition that will allow a faster progress into the future. Mankind has always had the desire to reach the unreachable, and it cannot go forward
Have you ever wanted to soar? Fly? Glide through the skies of the earth or even the great unknown called the universe? Well thanks to todays’ technology and the company founded on July 29 1958, NASA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), we can now undertake that dream; you can finally take to the air.
Imagine a new planet with an atmosphere and people roaming around like it was Earth. Scientists can do that by sending just four people to Mars than adding more as the colonists on Mars make additional progress. Scientists have built technology, like a machine that could take the carbon dioxide on Mars and change it into oxygen so people could breath up there. If they are willing to never come back down to Earth let them go up. Colonizing Mars is a terrific idea so the Earth can use the ice hidden underground, the people on Earth will believe that anything is possible, and the people can live up there.
The Space Race was a 20th century competition between two Cold War rivals, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. This competition was held between 1955 until 1972 and enabled these two rivals to advance their ability of spaceflight and their exploration out of the Earth’s reach. The competition covered several ways in taking human life out of Earth’s orbit and to successfully bring them back home in the process. The Space Race brought about several controversial topics relating to how the USSR copied the methods conducted by the United States, how the United States retaliated against the USSR and the man landing was purposely staged or not. These factors contribute to a large extent on how the space race was won. The Space Race
Although space junk may seem trivial,it is in fact crucial in terms of today's concern over everyday life. Apparently Nasa has just been throwing it out the window into our atmosphere, which is causing a gigantic problem. Some experts say there are just some things like satellites they cannot take back to earth. They say that they would only do it in in rare cases. If they take the things up there how come they can't take back it down to earth. They are trying to find a way to bring the trash back.
The world of film has changed dramatically over the last fifty years, both in technology and perceptions on how the industry should work and how it is viewed by the public. The ending of the production code in Hollywood started the cultural change in the industry. With this restrictive institution gone, many directors chose to take advantage of this in many different ways. My favorite of these is Mel Brooks; he chose to break and push boundaries both socially and comedically. Brooks’ style often includes crude humor inlaid with deeper jokes and meaning, many fourth wall breaking moments such as the “We’re in now now” scene of Spaceballs, to stand out in the world of comedy. His masterpiece, Blazing Saddles, is one such film that did just that. Through its new found sense of humor in the post production code era and its twists on common genre tropes of the time, Blazing Saddles was able to find its place into the New Hollywood Cinema.
Some critics may say that the untidiness of scenes affects the comical nature of the film but, I think a
Exploration is a key aspect to ensuring the constant and consistent development of the human race, but is it really necessary to branch out into the cosmos rather than focusing on the Earth itself. Expanding is essentially the ability to understand the unknowing and to grasp unworldly ideas, but without the means to reach those goals: justification, funding, and manpower, what is the point of committing funds to an unforeseen mission such as Space Exploration. Space Exploration is an issue that Humanity faces because it targets the what ifs about the future rather than focusing on the dangers of the present. Drought, famine, poverty, and war, will all continue to plague the world, and will remain tackling issues on present day Earth, and by using immense funding and manpower on what is not certain, is detrimental to humanities growth. Although, yes, NASA has created breakthroughs with innovations in relation to technological advancements, it is not certain that exploring space will ensure new innovations, because space itself is still theoretical and far too vast for ideal comprehension. Proper funding is mandatory for growth and expansion, but not important for the funding of Space exploration, rather it is more important to focus on pressing matters ranging from genocides: The Rwandan Genocide, to extreme poverty and famine: humans on Earth who do not have enough to live. If funding is granted to Space exploration by the public, it will remove essential funding to those
In even the most primitive civilizations, the extra-terrestrial has had immeasurable influence on society. Mankind has always had an urge to explore the great unknown, and answer the most fundamental questions of our existence. Space exploration deserves not only to be a top priority in our nation, but much more funding than it already has, because it is rooted with history that has taught us many things and will continue to do so, it will help us advance technology beyond the scope of commercial innovation, and it can answer the greatest questions that every civilization has tried to answer.
I believe that space exploration should not be a priority for our country. Space exploration has lots of benefits but on the other space exploration also has drawbacks. But I believe the drawbacks outweigh the benefits of space exploration. I believe this because some drawbacks lead to dead, depression, and subconsciously. We should not spend valuable resources on space exploration.
The asteroid 2016 HO3 has been looping Earth for at least a century. Scientists are not willing to call asteroid HO3 a moon because it orbits the Sun not the Earth. It is important for NASA to have a department dedicated to keeping or planet safe a they can keep missels from hitting us and comets and asteroids from hitting Earth. THe most interesting part for me was when it talk about the asteroid orbiting the sun then chaning to earth it was interesting because I thought it was cool how it orbited around the for half the year the Earth for the other
In our solar system today there are over 30,000 asteroids flying around in all direction colliding with other asteroids and planets, without a care about the destruction they might convey. Our planet Earth is caught right in the middle of all of this action and is liable to entire extinction of any life forms on the planet if a large enough asteroid crosses its path. Any single asteroid has the possibility to erase thousands of years of history and wipeout the human race, as we know it.
There are many unique and innovative techniques used throughout the film. Some were sequencing which are different shots that represent purpose like flashbacks to another time period. Another that was interesting was the use of the newsreel footage. Also the many different angles that were used, and how the lighting and shadows were a big part of the film.
