Mel Brooks is pulling the stops. He's not dead, and neither is his comedy.

What I love is that he's taking risks.

It's not perfect, but we all appreciate it. Fuck the haters, man.

Lol, receiving a boatload of cash to strap your name to a sequel to a successful movie you did decades ago and then keeping your hands out of it, is "taking risks"?

Josh Gad wrote this one not Mel Brooks.

I'm mostly concerned because Mel Brooks hasn't made a good film since Spaceballs.

I know a lot of people love Men in Tights, but it was just a bunch of reused jokes from earlier films. Even the title song was just "Jews in Space" from the epilogue of "History of the World Part I."
