'Blazing Saddles' creator Mel Brooks gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

at 18:06 on April 23, 2010, EDT.
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES - Nobody could say people walk all over Mel Brooks. Until now.

The comedian, actor and producer who gave the world "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein" and "The Producers" got a star Friday on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Brooks received the 2,406th star during a ceremony in front of the Egyptian Theatre. His son, Max, and friend, Carl Reiner, attended.

Brooks, who's 83, has won Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards.

He's working on a musical version of "Blazing Saddles."

OMG, I still can not stop laughing at the stupid lines in Blazing Saddles.


LIke when the really stupid cowboy character sees the Chinese worker faint while working on the railroad (chinese slaves built much of the railroads out west), he said, "Dock that Chink a days pay for nappin' on the job!"

I was like.... eek eek eek

then

falloff!!!!!



That shit was way, way, waaaaayyyyy beyond edgy for it's time and even for now. lol

I loved loved LOVED that movie when I was a kid! The campfire scene...spit!!!

I haven't seen it forever, I should just go ahead and buy it hmmm

Kinda sad that a movie like that would probably never be made in today's overly PC society sad The "Scary Movie"-esque movies they're been making just aren't the same (tho Not Another Teen Movie did come close, IMO)

Don't you have to pay for your own star? How silly and conceited. I guess when you're homing in on death you want to press down a little harder on your foot.

They usually don't pay for their own star, but fan clubs and other organizations, like a charity might get one for a celebrity who has done a lot of work for them, for example, will get them one so it IS still kinda earned.

Mel's History of the World was funny up until the French Revolution, and then it lost it's edge, and went into a lull.
