His films, not all the time but some of them kinda look like crap visually? Especially blazing saddles some scenes anyway. Whoever was responsible for filming most of them or whatever didn't really do a good job. I could be wrong though, maybe they are decent.

Well it's not like they're supposed to look like Avatar.

Compared to another film, blazing saddles doesn't look as good:   |

Blazing Saddles is brilliant. Nothing wrong with how it looks as far as I can see.

But HIGH ANXIETY has that big photo blow up scene and the Psycho tribute.
It predicted gender fluidity and the media's ability to be harmful(the newspaper beating).
Here's your newspaper! It's your newspaper!

I've seen all of his films, never once did I have a problem of any kind with how any of them looked.

While I'm no expert on his work and I agree that if you do a comparison, at times some bits might seem "cheap" but the goal was never to make it look great and the "cheap" look actually amplifies the silliness, which is more or less what he wants to deliver.

Most works of comedy prioritize humor over visuals or aesthetics. Even with that in mind, I don't remember seeing a Mel Brooks movie with truly bad cinematography or production design.

No. I actually think his problem is that he has difficulty with endings. Blazing Saddles, one of my favorite movies of all time since I was a child, suffers from this.
Mel Brooks though is fine. I just watched a bunch of my selection for comfort because my birthday was last month. I'm actually watching him as a director just to give myself something new to look at: his techniques, camerawork, sounds, plots and themes; he's fine.

No, I couldn't disagree more. Like Woody Allen and Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks purposefully worked with great designers and technicians to pull off his exacting comic creations, some of which required period detail in order to work. How 'Young Frankenstein' is now seen as anything less then an audio-visual technical marvel is beyond me.

I have seen 4 of his movies and they have all looked fine visually, so based on those 4 movies i am going to say that i don`t agree.

Yeah he kinda does, doesn't he? I actually really like Life Stinks, I think it's one of his more overlooked films, but that ending is just...bad. Way too over-the-top and farcical for a movie that had been a pretty decent updating of Sullivan's Travels until then.
