  I genuinely thought he had passed several years ago, I had a real Mandela-Effect moment when I saw this trailer, I thought at first “There’s no way this will be funny without Mel leading it.” Then he appeared and seemed old but energetic and thought “there is no WAY they used AI to resurrect him, this is horrible!”

  It took a few minutes for me to figure out what reality I was in and I still have my doubts about Spaceballs remake, not because I don’t think it will be funny, but because the general population who discusses things and overanalyzes things get the loudest voice and review bomb movies that are supposed to be just fun and not a pointed social statement.

    Dick Van Dyke is also still around and doing projects heading towards 100.

    If keeping busy is keeping them around I look forward to each of their 150th birthday parties.

      There are more and more promising trials of life-extension drugs, procedures and genetic tricks, It seems like we might be only a couple decades away from extending human lifespans* by around 30% from conservative averages.

      I wonder how many of us are going to slide under that lowering Indiana-Jones door. And how many people are going to live on after seeing people they care for dying to a disease that we still think of as natural. and will look back at one day the way we look at how we lived before germ theory or antibiotics existed.
