I genuinely thought he had passed several years ago, I had a real Mandela-Effect moment when I saw this trailer, I thought at first “There’s no way this will be funny without Mel leading it.” Then he appeared and seemed old but energetic and thought “there is no WAY they used AI to resurrect him, this is horrible!”
It took a few minutes for me to figure out what reality I was in and I still have my doubts about Spaceballs sequel, not because I don’t think it will be funny, but because the general population who discusses things and overanalyzes things get the loudest voice and review bomb movies that are supposed to be just fun and not a pointed social statement.
Damn. Mel brooks is looking spry for 99.
I know right? He turns 99 later this month! I hope I look that good.

Dick Van Dyke is also still around and doing projects heading towards 100.
If keeping busy is keeping them around I look forward to each of their 150th birthday parties.
Definite proof that it’s good to be the king!
