週二，梅爾布魯克斯、賈德阿帕圖、帕頓奧斯瓦爾特以及其他喜劇演員齊聚洛杉磯電影藝術與科學學院博物館，慶祝紀錄片《梅爾布魯克斯：99歲的老人！ 》的首映。
「只要是與我有關的積極的事情，我都非常高興，」布魯克斯先生在紅毯上說道。他微笑著與家人和同事合影，擺出各種搞怪的姿勢供攝影師拍照。
這部由賈德阿帕圖和麥可邦菲格里奧執導的兩集紀錄片，深入展現了布魯克斯先生的生活和作品。他於去年六月年滿99歲。
“這很令人忙，”布魯克斯先生談到這部將於週四在HBO Max首播的影片時說道，“而且，人們喜歡我的喜劇，這真的太棒了。”

Mel Brooks, Judd Apatow, Patton Oswalt and fellow comedians descended on the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Tuesday to celebrate the premiere of “Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!”
“I’m very happy about anything that has to do with me that’s positive,” Mr. Brooks said
The two-part documentary, directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, offers a deep look at the life and work of Mr. Brooks, who turned 99 last June.
“It’s very busy-making,” Mr. Brooks said of the film, which debuts Thursday on HBO Max. “It’s also really lovely that human beings, per se, like my comedy.”
The film gestures toward the sadness and the loneliness of a long life, with commentary from several friends of Mr. Brooks who have died since recording their interviews, a group including David Lynch, Mr. Reiner and Mr. Reiner’s son Rob, who was murdered last month.----
《阿奇與梅希塔貝爾》是唐‧馬奎斯自1916年開始創作的一系列報紙專欄文章。這些文章以虛構的社會評論形式呈現，最初是為了填補版面空白，以便馬奎斯能夠應對每週六天撰寫每日專欄的挑戰。 《阿奇和梅希塔貝爾》是馬奎斯最著名的作品，其故事集至今仍在發行。
1916年，馬奎斯Don Marquis在《紐約晚報》的每日專欄中引入了一隻名叫「阿奇」的虛構蟑螂。阿奇（在書名中總是小寫，但在馬奎斯以敘事形式描寫他時則使用大寫）是一隻前世曾是自由詩詩人的蟑螂，他喜歡在報社大樓裡，趁著所有人都離開的時候，用一台老式打字機創作故事和詩歌。阿奇會爬上打字機，猛地撲向鍵盤，費力地敲出蟑螂日常生活中遇到的挑戰和磨難。阿奇最好的朋友是一隻名叫「梅希塔貝爾」的流浪貓，他們倆一起經歷了一系列日常冒險，諷刺地評論了 20 世紀 10 年代和 20 年代城市的日常生活。
archy and mehitabel is the title of a series of newspaper columns written by Don Marquis beginning in 1916. Written as fictional social commentary and intended as a space-filler to allow Marquis to meet the challenge of writing a daily newspaper column six days a week, archy and mehitabel is Marquis' most famous work. Collections of these stories are still sold in print today.
In 1916, Marquis introduced a fictional cockroach named "Archy" into his daily newspaper column at The New York Evening Sun. Archy (whose name was always written in lower case in the book titles, but was upper case when Marquis would write about him in narrative form) was a cockroach who had been a free-verse poet in a previous life, and he took to writing stories and poems on an old typewriter at the newspaper office when everyone in the building had left. Archy would climb up onto the typewriter and hurl himself at the keys, laboriously typing out stories of the daily challenges and travails of a cockroach. Archy's best friend was an alley cat named "Mehitabel," and the two of them shared a series of day-to-day adventures that made satiric commentary on daily life in the city during the 1910's and 20's.
Because he was a cockroach, Archy was unable to operate the shift key on the typewriter (he jumped on each key to type; since using shift requires two keys to be pressed simultaneously, he physically could not use capitals), and so all of his verse was written without capitalization or punctuation. (Writing in his own persona, though, Marquis always used correct capitalization and punctuation. As E. B. White wrote in his introduction to "The Lives and Times of Archy and Mehitabel," it would be incorrect to conclude that, "because Don Marquis's cockroach was incapable of operating the shift key of a typewriter, nobody else could operate it.")
Collections of the "archy" stories have been published and re-printed numerous times over the years. The published editions of these stories were originally illustrated by George Herriman, the creator and illustrator of Krazy Kat. Titles in the series include:
- archy and mehitabel (1927)
- archys life of mehitabel (1933)
- archy does his part (1935)
- the lives and times of archy and mehitabel (1940)
- archyology (1996)
- archyology ii (1998)
- The Annotated Archy and Mehitabel (2006)
Play and Film
A short-lived 1957 Broadway musical based on the columns was titled Shinbone Alley and starred Eddie Bracken as archy and Eartha Kitt as mehitabel.In 1971 an animated film based on the stage adaptation, also called Shinbone Alley [1], was released. Directed by John Wilson, written by Mel Brooks, and starring Bracken and Carol Channing as the voices of archy and mehitabel, it was not a commercial success.
