canali Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) fab actor, will be sorely missed....never forgot the magic of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory..even to this day it's a treat to watch. laughed my ass off at 'Young Frankenstein' (final scene: ...''so honey the monster got your brain...but what part of the monster did you get?...'' and they're playing sharades in trying to figure out what shot to tranquilize him with while being strangledor with the timeless marty feldman on getting the wrong brain...''a.b. normal Edited August 30, 2016 by canali 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Very sad news, and Gene Wilder seemed like a very sincere person . . News like this is difficult too because it makes us reflect on our own lives and experiences - I can remember seeing Willy Wonka and Young Frankenstein in the theater as a very young kid - my Mom and Dad taking us, the family together and happy, and everyone laughing on the ride home .. damn, what the hell . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 "Well, it got so that every piss-ant prairie punk who thought he could shoot a gun would ride into town to try out the Waco Kid. I must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille. It got pretty gritty. I started to hear the word "draw" in my sleep. Then one day, I was just walking down the street when I heard a voice behind me say, "Reach for it, mister!" I spun around... and there I was, face to face with a six-year old kid. Well, I just threw my guns down and walked away. Little bastard shot me in the ass. So I limped to the nearest saloon, crawled inside a whiskey bottle... and I've been there ever since."

invisible airwave Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The director of Silver Streak and See No Evil Hear No Evil died last week oddly enough. RIP GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Watching "Blazing Saddles" tonight! The greatest comedy ever made next to "Airplane!" RIP to a LEGEND! I remember seeing "Stir Crazy" and "Silver Streak" in the theater when I was a kid! Loved those films!! Kind of ironic that Richard Pryor was going to be the sheriff in "Blazing Saddles" but was fighting drugs and alcohol addiction. Wilder and Pryor though.... Peanut butter and jelly. RIP 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sawyer Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 He made me laugh so hard, so many times for so many years. I had to watch YF last night, will always love and remember you Gene. God bless and Godspeed. Jerome. http://i68.tinypic.com/13ymelh.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 What a shame. When I think of THE best, brilliant, comedic actors, I immediately think of Peter Sellers and Gene Wilder. RIP 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP JB, where would you put Woody Allen ?Yeah, he's up there. When I was a kid, my bros used to make fun of me for liking Woody Allen's sense of humor. [i digress.] But JUST thinking of actors, I can't think of many (if any) in the same ballpark as Sellers and Wilder. Actually, I'm thinking now and no other names come to mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn-leghorn Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 As a comedy actor, there were few who could match him. Such a funny man on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
