Wow I had no idea he was that old. And only a few years ago he was trying to get a spaceballs sequel greenlit (and I believe he unfortunately failed). Kudos to him!

I can highly recommend the documentary Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! What a legend, what a life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Brooks:_The_99_Year_Old_Ma... !

Hope for the best, expect the worst. Some drink champagne, some die of thirst. No way of knowing which ways it's going...hope for the best, expect the worst Happy birthday, Mr. Brooks.
