It started as a novelty act: Carl Reiner would entertain friends at parties by pretending to interview a character he’d throw at Mel Brooks , who would immediately adopt the persona—a guy at a coffee shop, a famous film director, a submarine captain. The highlight of their impromptu act (which existed entirely in this Q&A format) was interviews with Brooks’ character the 2,000-Year-Old...

Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks met when both men were writers for Sid Caesar’s fabled television program, Your Show of Shows. Working from an idea that Reiner had, they developed a comedy routine based on the memories of a 2,000 year-old man. Reiner took the part of the interviewer, and Brooks was the old [...]

Someone posted a Mel Brooks quote on the blog 'Tumblr', and I've been thinking about it. It was something to do with being loud instead of quiet. I like quiet stuff like the art of James Bishop, but I also like loud, bright colours and jazzy patterns..

There are comedians that I think are not funny. Yet because of certain roles or events, they are forever deemed funny. For example I don't think Eddie Murphy is funny. I think he's a good actor, and I've enjoyed his movies, but I don't find him really funny. His stand up special was pretty funny about 20 years ago, but what have you done for me lately? I do not think Robin Williams is funny. I did...

Old Acquaintance (1943, USA) - Bette Davis writes thoughtful books that critics love but readers don't. Miriam Hopkins writes romantic trash that sells well. They're the greatest of friends, but you just know that a Bette Davis movie is going to turn out bitter, and so it does. Watched it all. Based on a play by John Van Druten, who apparently saw nothing odd in writing a play about a critically acclaimed...
