#TheProducers is on #TCM today at 4pm EDT. #MelBrooks’s first film and the original source of #SpringtimeforHitler. Characters from left are: worst director in the world director Roger DeBris (Christopher Hewett), his assistant/lover Karmann Ghia (Andreas Voutsinas), Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), and Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel). An equal offender, perfect film.

See it.

SEE IT.

Fucking hell. I've never laughed so much at a musical. Yes, I've seen Book of Mormon.

This stage production is even better than the films. Especially if Andy Nyman is in the lead role.

God damn, it was good. And I didn't get any merch so I'm gonna have to go back and see it so I can get a t-shirt.

Went to see the fantastic London production of The Producers on Friday with Andy Nyman (a fellow magic circle member) portraying Max Bialystock brilliantly.

Now I’m humming very inappropriate lyrics at work!

OMFG i had never noticed that when the german writer breaks out into the nazi anthem, and Leo tells him to stop cuz someone will hear him, he segues to Yankee Doodle Dandy. Mel Brooks really knew fascism.

There is a school of thought on that, made into another movie documentary by Mel Brooks before I was even born. (-:

In this Post-Stross Universe, where fiction is now the upper bound on how positive the future will be, we are watching the plot of #MelBrooks's 1967 movie _The Producers_ play out in real time.

The audience has yet to start laughing at #Amazon's cunning scheme to give a bung to #DonaldJTrump via a disastrous #Melania movie about the rise to power of a monarch and his consort.

Oh, look: it's "Springtime for Hitler" again. Mel Brooks should sue the Republican party.
