I never regret going off to Comic-Con in San Diego but each year, there always seems to be one event back in Los Angeles during those dates that I deeply regret having to miss. Last year, it was the big evening at the Motion Picture Academy when they honored and interviewed Mel Brooks. This year, it also involves Mel. The American Cinematheque project is having a Mel Brooks/Carl Reiner festival at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. They're showing films by both men and at one screening, Mel will speak. At one, Carl will speak. And at one, both will speak. There's also one evening when they're running My Favorite Year and Richard Benjamin will speak. Just in case you're not down in San Diego with all the fun people that weekend, here's the schedule.
