God, I miss his movies.


We need a new Mel Brooks movie. I really miss decent spoofs, fantastic comedies that I grew up on, and all around, Mel Brooks.

Happy Birthday, Mel. Here's looking at you.

I'm looking forward to:
Castlevania
Spider Man
Dark Knight Rises
Captain America

Yes, here are some targets he could still hit:
Sherlock Holmes (Gene Wilder did this, true but Mel could take on the recent one and Young Sherlock Holmes, which his friend Barry Levinson directed).
Gangster spoofs
Chick Flicks
Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
Tarzan
Romantic Comedies

Some ideas he did have that didn't get made were:
Scared to Death-mystery genre
Backwards to Forward-Hollywood musicals
S.N.A.F.U.-an army comedy

Yeah me too.
My favorites:
Young Frankenstein
Silent Movie
History of the World Pt I
Spaceballs

Yes, pity he is 100,000 years old already. This comedy style will die with him, I'm afraid...
