He was a great writer, with more "classics" under his bealt than most ppl realized. and he will be missed.

There has been a real lack of truly funny comedies for a looooong time. All we have is those romantic ones, moronic teen gross-out comedies, and ultra-lame "parody" movies.
Actually it's not just comedies, in my opinion. There were some good movies in the 1990s but it's been a downhill slide.
