    R.I.P. Gene Wilder

    What a bummer of a way to start the week. Truly a one of a kind talent, and one of the all-time greats.

    I am going to see what movies the library has tomorrow. I remember "The Woman in Red". Are there any you recommend, Calidore?

    Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles were great vehicles for him which he co-wrote. The latter might be a little vulgar for you.

    Gene Wilder was great. I remember watching some of his movies when I was young. "Hear No Evil, See No Evil" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" come to mind first. The Johnny Depp remake sucked hard, it shouldnt've been made. It's sad to hear Gene Wilder is gone. R.I.P. Gene Wilder.
