The one, the only, the wonder that is Mel Brooks is on the show today. I listened to the interview Friday and, well, I laughed and I cried. When he was talking about his late wife, the actor Anne Bancroft, to whom he was married for 40 years and who died in 2005, I laughed and cried simultaneously. At that point he’s talking to David Bianculli about learning Polish so that he and Bancroft could perform “Sweet Georgia Brown” together in that language, the clip of which is above. It’s fantastic.

“Talented writing tends to contain more information, sentence for sentence, clause for clause, than merely good writing. … It also employs rhetorical parallels and differences… . It pays attention to the sounds and rhythms of its sentences… . Much of the information it proffers is implied. … These are among the things that indicate talent.”

- Samuel Delany on good writing vs. talented Writing (via explore-blog)
