Son of a bitch. This one gets me.

Fuck you 2016.... just fuck you!

Nooooooooooo! I know he was getting up there in years.....

If heaven/the afterlife exists, I guess he can be together again with Gilda.

Gods dammit!

He was already missed and now he can only be missed.

No! I'm hysterical! I'm in hysterics!

Young Frankenstein is one of my all-time top movies.

I will be watching it today.

Werewolf?

There, there wolf.

Bart told him. "A man drink like that, and he don't eat, he is going to DIE."

Bear with me here when I say this. I'm kinda glad he died. Not because I hate him or anything - I love the guy. But he' had Alzheimer's for years and has really gone down hill. Google some of the last pictures of him and prepare to be sad. He and his family had to have been going through some hell lately. It's sad that he's gone, but he's no longer in any pain, regardless of how you feel about an afterlife.

Very insightful interview regarding why he stopped accepting movies, and some commentary on the movies he did do.

Blazing Saddles + Young Frankenstein combine to form one of history's strongest one-two punches of comedy.
This is not up for debate.

I actually want to see The Frisco Kid again.

This one hurts big time.

So sad. He was a genius at comedy, his delivery and timing were amazing. Young Frankenstein is one of my favorite movies.

Aww man. That stinks.

I still haven't watched Young Frankenstein; I will amend that this weekend.

I remember years ago seeing him appear on a show my mom was watching and going "holy shit, it's Gene Wilder" because it'd been so long since seeing him, and it's been long since even then. May he be at peace.

Make it a double feature with Blazing Saddles. Then remind yourself that they were both filmed at the same time.

Also - he was a Wisconsinite.

THIS. This in 20-foot high letters, this.

Also,

From 11 years ago, talking with Conan:

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is one of the earliest movies I remember watching.

It's the film the teachers broke out just before the Christmas holidays because they couldn't be bothered coming up with lessons that close to to the end of the school year.

And I goddamn loved it.

Yeah fuck you 2016, i'm out..setting alarm for 5 years:

She has way too much fun with her fame.

--Patrick

He's also so fucking good in the original The Producers

Silver Streak.

"Coffee, Killer?"

Damn. I was driving home last Monday when I heard the news, and it sucked HARD. Gene has given me so much joy through his work and I am glad he lived his life as he wanted to. Rest in peace, Mr. Wilder.
