Mel Brooks The Critic

Mel Brooks is probably the greatest comedic genius that this world has seen. From the underrated Silent Movie to the hysterical 2000 Year Old Man the man's a god. Anyway I bring to you his short film that won him an Oscar back in 1963, Enjoy

It's French Suite #5 by Johann Sebastian Bach as played on an instrument called the Clavichord by Thurston Dart. - search YouTube for "J.S.Bach Thurston Dart" to find it. But the music heard here begins at about 5min & 17sec into that other video.

(I tried to use the URL, but YouTube isn't letting the link through.)

Feel free to send that $100 donation to a classical public radio station or maybe even us here at KUSC.

In the meantime... I'm off to watch a cockaroach on a movie screen.

Basically these were my exact thoughts while I watched Upstream Color. Congratulations Mel, for reading my mind.

I don't know much about psych-analysis but I'd say this is a dirty picture.
