Thanks for the laughs Gene..and all those funny moments with your mate Richard Pryor.
Remember "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" ? God, Pryor was funny in that…the scene where he gets mistaken for a Swedish Gynecologist and has to give a public speech on geriatric sex is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Have to say that I saw Willy Wonks when I was a small kid, and it scared the living crap out of me. Later on I saw other films of his, the producers, blazing saddles, stir crazy and others as well as some interviews, and he always came across as a gentle man with great humour. His work for Gilda's clubs should also be mentioned. Funny man.
RIP.
It's not what you've got; it's where you stick it.
Ahh shite, What crap news to wake up to this morning.
Without sounding too Marge Proops, To me His eyes Told a story of a man somewhere on the spectrum of the Arkham Asylum Joker's Unhinged mania , and the innocent wonder of a child in its bunny eared romper suit seeing their presents on Christmas Morning.
A Creative disturbed mind, plotted at The intersection of X and Y. Where X = Drinking your own Urine from a Coffee Mug and Y = Saving a box of drowning abandoned Puppies from a stream.
A little known cracker from Stevie wonder to remember Gene By..
RIP old thing.

"...The monkey is never dead, Dealer. The monkey never dies. When you kick him off, he just hides in a corner, waiting his turn."
So many of his movies were absolute classics. The Mel Brooks ones were simply genius: The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were the background to my childhood.
'What do we want? We don't know! When do we want it? Now!'
Love Stir Crazy, that and Smokey and the Bandit were the first videos we had on our new at the time VHS Wilder and Pryor were a great combo , wilder defo had the characteristics he could make you laugh, cry and be wary of him in just one scene a great loss RIP
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

With you on this, Dorse. I like a lot of the Richard Pryor collaboration stuff but I think Producers (Wilder/Mostel), Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles were sublime. It is a great credit to him that these three were also Mel Brooks' three best films.
