Mel Brooks' 'High Anxiety' Is Still a Welcome Relief
Mel Brooks' filmmaking career has been a continual source of amazement and amusement for me. Highlighted in The Producers, the unique combination of sophisticated wit and Yiddish vaudeville that inhabit his brilliant comic mind materialized in Brooks’ brilliant yet often erratic films. The manic hilarity of the 2,000 year old man and the distinctly crazy sense of humor that established Brooks as a legendary comedy writer and presence transferred often in a visually shocking way. Mel Brooks' distinct method of transferring his madness into movies became his signature calling card.

Best Joker Depiction in Games, TV, and Movies
Is there any comic book villain more iconic than the Joker? Short answer, no. No other villain has reached the height of popularity on par with the hero they’re in constant battle with than the Joker. Look at the rest of the DC universe, only Lex Luthor comes close, but not close enough. Same goes for Marvel; DC has always had the best villains and they’ve always been led by the clown Prince of Crime. It’s not just comics though: like Batman, the Joker has become a massive cultural force, and a villain who shares the same esteemed cinematic company as Darth Vader and Hannibal Lecter. So let’s countdown the best depictions of the Joker outside of the comics.

Famous Careers That Started On MTV's 'The Challenge'
What started out as a one time crossover between The Real World: Boston and Road Rules: Islands, has now become one of the most exciting reality competition shows on TV. The producers saw how high the ratings were for this small competition and decided to make a new spin-off show that would eventually be called the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge." The Challenge would pit former cast members from the popular show The Real World against cast members from its sister show, Road Rules. Over time the show has been opened up to cast members from the show "Are You the One?" as well as complete strangers on the seasons "Fresh Meat I & II." Over the course of 29 seasons, there have been hundreds of competitors on the show. Most of them have retired and live out normal everyday lives like the rest of us. However, some of them used The Challenge as a stepping stone for bigger and better things.
