WARNING: SPOILERS. HAPPENING. BELOW. DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.

I just now found out about this crazy Mae West movie. Can you believe it!? I have never been a huge Mae West fan per se, just haven't really watched much of her stuff. I am a fan of classic hollywood starlets though.
So I randomly come across this video about how Mae West was in this crazy movie when she was like 85.
The plot is INSANE!
It's a comedy film with a quirky super famous cast. Ringo Starr!?
The opening scene begins at 0:28 in the video.
2:10 and I'm definitely getting "Blazing Saddles" flashbacks with this theme song.
I'm 5 min. into it and it really has an "Airplane!" kinda feel to it so far.
5:56 LMFAOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow. So it's gonna be THAT kinda party!!! Definitely huge similarities between this comedy style and movies like Naked Gun, The Big Bus, Young Frankenstein, etc.
6:44 "there may be a new administration"... see, nothing ever really changes.
6:51 check out that baller nightstand.
7:20 eighty-five... eighty-fucking-five. The enormity of it hits me sometimes. This is such a crazy movie. And the fact that Mae would be down for it at that advanced age?? What a cool chick.
7:33 one thing I will say is this though... I have never seen this movie, nor much of anything with Mae West in it. Certain aspects of the whole vibe just don't jive with me 100% so don't be surprised if I can't finish the movie.
I DO love comedies that are done in this sort of 70s/80s outrageous style. There were many epic films from that era.
8:12 damn she looks fly for 85 and she still has that iconic legendary 'pep' she walks with. That spunk! LOL! This is nuts!
8:22 "they like me any way they can get me" ROFL! Her voice sounds great. I like the one-liner aspect of Mae. I can relate to that.
8:45 wow man... to play in this role, as your last film, no less?? What a brilliant career and a fabulous goodbye.
9:35 oh no, it's a musical. Well, I will probably have to skip some parts.
9:42 Mae does look very charming though.
Skipping the musical parts of this are tricky because they appear to be working important action/progression in with the number, so it's not really some stupid meaningless crap you can skip over like in most musicals.
11:00 Mae's charisma is undeniable, even to someone who's never particularly been a fan... iconic levels of swagger.
15:15 wow... she's so sassy.
15:36 her voice is great.
16:20 I had a huge crush on Ringo Starr.
Hell, I think Mae West was better than ever at 85.
She looked great in this movie.
26:42 "Whateva!" lol, icon. Fucking icon.
