No, they're doing the work of the Lord. In a Ferrari, they can just do it faster.


Dom DeLuise: Rest in peace, roly-poly bringer of joy.

If there was ever a comic actor that I wanted to pinch the cheeks of it was DeLuise. He just seemed that lovable.

My personal favorite DeLuise bit from Blazing Saddles:

    Mark Evanier's got a nice remembrance on his site. By all accounts, a really nice guy.

    I'm always torn by that Blazing Saddles scene. I HATE the breaking of the 4th wall in the movie, but, damn, Dom was so hilarious in it!

    Harry and don-

    Yup.

    arkonbey-

    That's funny because that 4th wall thing has always bugged me as well but partly I think because it almost feels like Brooks ran out of a way to end the movie. Considering how clever it is up to that point it just feels weird.

    Youtube is eating America. Not just the flag.

    I honestly thought he was already dead. I also thought it was irrelevant because he was so timeless; I could imagine him appearing in roles in any sort of dramatic production of the last centurty.

    Lockwood-

    He did seem much younger than he actually was. Maybe it's that way with comedians. Hmmm.

    Arkonbey-

    I'm not TOTALLY unreasonable. :)
