Talk about Talkies
The Sweetest Little Horror Comedy You Ever Saw
It's funny, it's sexy, it's beautiful and filled with a deep sympathy for its characters that's rare in comedy... it's none other than Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein! Tonight, at the Central Library, the Friends is bestowing us with the gift of this lovely film tonight at 7:00. I loved this movie as a kid, wishing to God that I could have hair like Gene Wilder's, glasses like Frederick Frankenstein, and a girl like Teri Garr. Easily Brooks' best film, and a joy, no doubt, on the big screen!

Better than Blazing Saddles? Better than The Producers?
Ok, Frau Blucher is a seminal moment in film history.
Yes. Better than the Producers, whose characters are all broad stereotypes (but fun!) and Blazing Saddles, which is... eh. Nothing beats Peter Boyle's monster.
