Gene Wilder has died.
Forget Johnnie Depp. Wilder was the perfect Willy Wonka. All-powerful, moral, yet utterly irresponsible. He is a major contributor to my view of the nature of God.
He's now the star in a new film: "Everything you wanted to know about Death, but were afraid to ask." May his saddles ever blaze,
As his coffin is lowered someone simply must make a farting sound... I'm sure he would approve.
ReplyDeleteAnd may perpetual light shine upon him. He was superb in Young Frankenstein, too (and that didn't involve any farting!).
