Gene Wilder is awesome.
They've got Young Frankenstein on cable right now, which I normally wouldn't watch since I have on DVD. But I'm bored.

Anyway, pretty much everyone in this movie rules. They have a tremendous cast. But Gene Wilder is pretty consistently grat, and that's what I was thinkig of: Froedrick Fronkensteen, but also Jim (The Waco Kid), Leo Bloom, Willy Wonka, even as Richard Prior's straight man in "See No Evil, Hear No Evil."

I've seen him in a few other things, too, but that's the short list that came to mind. I love the guy.

Post your praise for him here.

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”

How about Eugene Grizzard in Bonnie & Clyde? Not one of his better-known roles, and he's overshadowed by Beatty, Dunaway, and Hackman, but he's amazing in that movie, too. One of the most underrated comic actors ever, imo.

I don't think I've ever seen that version of the Bonny and Clyde saga, Now I'm gonna have to find it.

I love him whenever he teamed up with Mel Brooks, especially. He does the "man four steps away from unhinged" thing perfectly.
