Happy Birthday To A Legend

Met him once, many many moons ago. He was ancient even then. Damn good run, high hopes for Spaceballs 2.

GOAT. Best comedies ever.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

One of the all time greatest.

And he even created "Get Smart" with Buck Henry. If anybody hasn't seen that TV show it's definitely worth a watch.

So many hours of fun with his movies.

Happy birthday legend!

Not only is he himself a legend, but I also thank him for helping one of my favorite directors of all time, the late David Lynch.

Love this when Mel Brooks defended Lynch in the making of The Elephant Man(which Mel produced, and Lynch got hired as director):

"Eraserhead made me feel he could handle melancholy and freaks and could use black and white film," Brooks said, making sure that Lynch was approved by the suits, no matter how much they pushed back. "I just kept saying, 'It's gotta be David Lynch. It's gotta be David Lynch. It's just gotta be fucking David Lynch!' I was a very forceful advocate because I was, like, born again," he said, not messing about."

Legend.

Spaceballs 2 will probably suck but it's going to be nice to see him on the big screen again
