    Well, who is that in your profile pic, Froederick Fronkenstein or someone? I figure if anyone could resurrect that thing, you could.

    I must have been about 6-7 years old when my mom dropped me off at the cinema to see this film in 1974-75 for I think $1.50. She went shopping at the adjacent mall for a few hours and would return to fetch me after the show.

    Man, I laughed my ass off and enjoyed the hell out of that film even at such a young age. Gene Wilder quickly became one of my favorite under-appreciated leading men.

    Blazing Saddles anyone?

    I was an usher at a theater when those came-out. We had one on each screen.
    I knew them word for word.

    Well, that 75 Cent razor might be a bit Abby-Normal, but if you bring it back I'll call it the Frankenmappin.

    I really don't know much about you, Sonny, but the more you post, the more I like what I see.



    HYOOGE, The Big Lebowski junkie here! I can't recall a movie so completely overloaded with gut-busting quotations since The Princess Bride.

    I know there are tons of hilarious quotes, but this always good out to me.

    Mike, after I saw some of your razor resurrections I realized how appropriate that avatar was.

    The Mel Brooks movies always provide a whack of good one liners, most of them so corny, they cause groans and laughs at the same time.

    For example, when looking at the massive hardware on the castle doors, Gene WIlder says, “What a pair of knockers.” Everybody knew that was coming, but laughed anyway.
