  3. "Pure Imagination" is a song from the 1971 film #WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory. It was written by British composers #LeslieBricusse and #AnthonyNewley specifically for the movie. It was sung by #GeneWilder, who played the character of Willy Wonka. Bricusse has stated that the song was written over the phone in one day. The song has a spoken introduction. Since its release, the song has been covered and remixed hundreds of times by a wide variety of artists.

  4. Mistodon: this #monochrome #teletext portrait of the late #GeneWilder as the titular character in Mel Brooks' 1974 #YoungFrankenstein was drawn by Horsenburger and included in the spooky MIST1024 artpack collection released one year ago this month.

  5. "Do you see what can be accomplished if you can get people to make contact, real contact, with each other?"

    Adding to the over all feeling of "Is this man safe/sane/ dangerous?"

    The increasingly manic way Gene Wilder delivers this, it's classic for that reason!

    Round the world and home again
    That's the sailor's way
    There's no earthly way of knowing
    Which direction we are going
    There's no knowing where we're rowing
    Or which way the river's flowing
    Is it raining, is it snowing
    Is a hurricane a-blowing
    Not a speck of light is showing
    So the danger must be growing
    Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
    Is the grisly reaper mowing
    Yes, the danger must be growing
    For the rowers keep on rowing
    And they're certainly not showing
    Any signs that they are slowing

  10. Thanks to our SFF shows & movies we enjoy rewatching video, people have been sharing their own favorites. Some great additions! I'm embarrassed I DIDN'T remember one more to add myself: Young Frankenstein. Brilliant horror spoof, classic comedy! #YoungFrankenstein #GeneWilder

  12. A Yiddish Poem, a thread:

    I found this poem on the internet somewhere. It is attributed to beloved actor Gene Wilder, but I didn't ask him if he wrote it last time we spoke, so who knows? Anyway, it's funny so I thought I would share it with my fans, even though it is actually written in English instead of Yiddish as the title implies, and has a lot of strange words.

  14. @Dustin Brecht was dead long before Blazing Saddles was made, but both Gene Wilder and Brooks' future wife, Anne Bancroft, had acted in the same production of Brecht's play "Mother Night", which also uses Epic Theater techniques. #bertoltbrecht #genewilder #annebancroft #mothernight #blazingsaddles
