there was the spoof comedy that became popular, whether that be airplane! or the naked gun . you had ensemble comedies like police academy. you had imports, crocodile dundee , which was an enormous hit. and three men and a baby. the other story of the decade is the rise of saturday night live as an influence on film. it s 106 miles to chicago. we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes. it s dark, and we re wearing sunglasses. hit it. john belushi and dan aykroyd, they made up these characters with the pork-pie hat and dark glasses. they did the blues brothers on saturday night live and got a huge response. so we got to make the movie. saturday night live is such a specific place. people started realizing, like, oh, this is where you re gonna get quality comedy. so then you started wanting to see those people in movies. well, i tell you what. i m gonna clean this up. you good ahead, clean up a little bit. it looks fine to me. thanks for the dope.
delightful. he has a great knack for putting two people together, they had ackroyd and belushi, and the blues brothers. we are on a mission from god. there is a chemistry that the blues brothers had where you went, okay, fine, you are going to raise money to fund the church, and going to go along with this. there closed. this place has got everything. i think what it is is mutually assured construction. you cheer each other on. i m getting out of here, damien! fine, go. i m gone. go. well, though goes in. i think he was the peanut butter to my chocolate. i think it was just great chemistry. the atmosphere that is snl is a melting pot for people to come in and exchange comedy ideas, and when you find somebody that you connect with, it usually ends in a bunch of huge comedy sparks. are you okay? yeah, my pets are sweating.
Almost everyone who's lived in Illinois for any period of time knows where the bridge is from the famous jump scene in The Blues Brothers movie. Did you know there's also what many consider to be the best seafood in Illinois (and maybe even the entire Midwest) located right next to it?
