Yesterday was Mel Brooks’ 100th birthday, and he celebrated with those who are closest to him. The legendary man who brought us decades of laughter is still smiling, just as he did when he was making the movies that influenced generations of filmmakers, as he deserves to do.
Maybe it is because he is grinning from ear to ear, but he does not look as though he is a century years old, and according to his son, Max, “In perfect health with a razor sharp mind, celebrating with friends and family.”
Who knows, maybe he has at least one more movie in him. I think the world would appreciate one more of his comedies. And not just him lending his name to a sequel.
Before John Oliver covered how bleak things are in our house on Last Week Tonight, he guest starred on Bleak House. He looks the same now as he did when he was 7 in that 1985 episode.
In 1982, several unknown teenage actors, including Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe, were cast in a movie that would change all of their lives forever.
Two of those teens were Matt Dillon and C. Thomas Howell, who, along with Ralph Macchio, were the leads of the coming-of-age period drama.
Their characters had a bond that would last their whole lives, which was not that long. Even though Dillon’s character’s story ended before the credits rolled, his friendship in real life with Howell never ended.
This weekend, Dally and Ponyboy reunited, and we got to see what would have happened had Dally not killed himself running from the cops. They still would’ve been the type of friends who would have each other’s backs! That and they grew up to be two very handsome men!
I guess Shrimp Season is over at Red Lobster because the seafood restaurant announced today that Crabfest is back.
This year’s menu includes:
Crab Your Way, featuring guests’ choice of Snow or Bairdi crab legs served over crispy potatoes and prepared Simply Steamed or paired with the guest’s choice of six flavors: Roasted Garlic & Herb, Cajun Style, Lemon Pepper, OLD BAY® & Butter Sauce, RL Signature, and NEW Mike’s Hot Honey®. Served with choice of one side.
NEW Crabfest Boil, offering guests twice the portion of crab as any existing Red Lobster boil, plus shrimp and guests’ choice of flavor and spice level.
Crab & Shrimp Linguini Alfredo, featuring lump crab meat and tender shrimp tossed with linguini in a house-made creamy garlic Alfredo sauce with fresh asparagus and tomatoes.
Crab-Topped favourites, including Crab-Topped Stuffed Mushrooms, Crab Queso, Salmon Oscar, Steak Oscar, Crab-Topped Baked Potato, and Crab-Topped Mashed Potatoes.
“Crabfest gives us the chance to have a lot of fun with the seafood our guests already love,” said Chef Xavier Soto of Red Lobster. “We heard from guests that they wanted more ways to make Crabfest their own, so this year we’re bringing more choice to Crab Your Way, more flavor and spice to our viral Seafood Boils, and new spins on classic crab dishes. It keeps the hands-on crab experience guests love feeling fresh each time they come to Red Lobster.”
You can enjoy all of those crab dishes starting today for a limited time. Which one are you going to try first?
