We watched the Australian Episode of Everybody Feed Phil, and Mel Brooks made an appearance. He seemed a bit old but when I looked him up on Wikipedia I was shocked to learn he was 99. Still working, still funny, what a life.

Growing up we watched Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Silent Movie almost every week. Happy birthday Mel, thanks for all laughs and grotesque which shaped us.

Wow I had no idea he was that old. And only a few years ago he was trying to get a spaceballs sequel greenlit (and I believe he unfortunately failed). Kudos to him!

Spaceballs: The New One is scheduled to be released by Amazon MGM on April 23, 2027 [0]
And they got Rick Moranis out of retirement to reprise his role as Dark Helmet, which is just delightful. I hope we see more of him in movies now that his children are grown.

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Some drink champagne, some die of thirst. No way of knowing which ways it's going...hope for the best, expect the worst

Happy birthday, Mr. Brooks.
That is Rik Mayall. Also, the sexiest.
Pity Rik didn't make it to 100 though. Would have loved to have seen another Bottom or two ..
