Well it's good to see he's still alive. For a second there I saw his name whilst scrolling and thought he may have died. It's been a tough month for actors.

Because of his role in Robin Hood Men In Tights, I made the same joke to the Doctor when both my sons were born.

I asked if I could get the circumcision half off.

I saw Young Frankenstein in the theater and laughed so hard I almost slid out of my chair. 1975 I believe. It was a first and only date with a girl I had been friends with for years. The romance didn't take off, but I still count that date as a successful one.

I think that was the first Mel Brooks movie I had seen, but I made sure to see the rest of the them. Mel and Gene Wilder are as great a tandem as Andy and Pat.

I love Mel. I saw Blazing Saddles in the theater with my parents. I was 14. Afterwards, my dad said, "Well, I guess you're an adult now..."

That movie was hilarious. No way he could get away with making that movie in 2024.

It still holds up and is funny as all hell. But yeah, no WAY does that movie get made in 2024. Probably not in 2004 or even 1984 either! But thankfully it was made! As great as Cleavon Little was, can you imagine if Richard Pryor would've had that role as originally intended?

Never heard that nugget about Pryor before, but oh yeah he would've kicked it up a notch

That's a shame. Blazing Saddles should be shown in schools

I'm not a fan of most of his stuff, which seems like something a 7th grader could write. But the Putting on the Ritz scene in Young Frankenstein makes it all worthwhile. That is probably the movie scene that makes me uncontrollably laugh more than any other movie scene.
