Yeah, some of them were stupid movies, but in the stupidity was some real hilarity.

This has been a really hard year.

I'm a huge fan of Gene Wilder. I have 5 of his movies and 1 television film.

Alice in Wonderland played The Mock Turtle
Blazing Saddles
See No Evil, Hear No Evil
Stir Crazy
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Young Frankenstein

My all-time favorite of his is of course Willy Wonka.

I still can't believe he's gone and it's really hard for me because he died on Michael Jackson's birthday. I've been a fan of MJ's since I was in Kindergarten.

Just saw Blazing Saddles in a special viewing at a movie palace last week. Couldn't help but think about how so many people in that film are gone, almost everybody except Mel Brooks himself.
