I'd never seen this movie before Tuesday, but it was hilarious. I got the impression that Mel Brooks watched a lot of Marx Brothers and Monty Python when he was growing up. I saw The Apartment in the park last year, and that was not just an awesome movie, but such a fun time! One complaint, though: it seemed that the city was doing somesort of roadwork under BP Bridge at Millinium Pork, and about 2/3 or the way through the film, a huge, bright spot light came on, basically illuminating the back third of the crowd for the end of the film. It was terribly distracting, and lots of people started grumbling - a few even got up and left. Maybe next time the city will know that the city is having a major event, and schedule it's raod work at a different time. Of course this *is* the same city that shut downt he Blue Line the weekend of Pitchfork, so I'm not holding my breath.

Leave it to Albert Maysles to choose one of his own films.
