For $450, Mel better include a hooker and some blow.

Hi Michael! I am loving this stylish new blog and I will post a link on my blog to be sure I touch base often.

would somebody FINALLY out this self-loathing old queen and his lesbionic late wife, who was a piss poor Doris Day substitute in the highly overrated "The Graduate" ...

while it is safe to say that ben brantley will never have a theatre named after him or be remembered with the same esteem as pauline kael, he still writes some of the most astute (and oftentimes entertaining) reviews in mainstream print today. THAT is why mel is miffed. he knows how many people read brantley and furthermore, he knows that he is right about his new show.

Mel will be on the Howard Stern show. Should be interesting.

Young Frankenstein Sucked. All of his movies have sucked after High Anxiety, and The Producers had about 250 times more actual jokes than the incoherently screeched lines of YF. The 3 times was generous; I was mildly amused 3 times and did not laugh out loud at all. His audience died out years ago and Young Frankenstein is a sad contrivance. Andrea Martin deserves much better.

Love Andrea. Is it true Mel pays male Broadway chorines to sleep with him?

Mel Brooks pay for something? I doubt it.

While Mel may have been out of line and hyped up on his favorite drug "ego juice", it sounds like he was MEL...on and running with it. That can get really overwhelming after awhile, I agree.

However, if there is anyone who really belives that Ben Brantley is the pre-eminent theater critic, filled with insightful commentary and profound observations...WOW! Mel may have been mad that Brantley didn't like his show, and the show may not be up to par, but that does not make Brantley a good critic. I remember the old days when critics may still have been stubbornly opinionated but at least they knew something about theater. Ben usually speaks from his taste and if he doesn't like an actor or a playwright he seems incapable of writing an objective review. He loves the pretty girls and the pretty boys. That is about all I have seen as a pattern. At times his reviews are written almost as they are an after thought with little attention paid to continuity. He wanders all over the place, throwing in witticims to keep the readers entertained. He is a better theater journalist than Riedel, but that isn't saying much.

Hey, I love your site. It seems most people don't really bother writing articles that lack substance nowadays.

Personally I don't think that Mr. Handsome has received enough accolades for his humanitarian efforts. In my opinion a lot of celebrity do-gooders are totally phony and engage in so called good deeds merely for positive publicity. I have to say that I don't think that George is one of the phonies out there in the world of celbrity do-gooders. I admire what he is doing for the Haitian people. I wish more celebrities were as real as he is when it comes to helping out those less fortunate in the world. So kudos to George and his desire to make this world a better place.
