Gene Wilder passes away

Gene... Gene was a character.  On scream and off.  It's amazing how a man could act so quiet and humble most of the time and still come across so strongly in everything he did.

There will be special screenings of WILLY WONKA and BLAZING SADDLES at 55 AMC theaters across the country this Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately my city is not participating, but if you live in a large American city you may find a theater. playing them.

I was reading that he came up with the idea of having Wonka come out with a cane at first and then do the flip.  So you'd never know how truthful or serious he was being.

Young Frankenstein is probably my favorite movie with him.  Everything from the casting to the look of the film is great.

R.I.P. Gene wilder, and thanks for so many great movies.
