The problem for me is that classic rock radio really got big in the 1980s.  And they're still playing the same songs 30 years later!  Steve Miller, Petty, Stones, Hendrix, CCR and so on… it's tricky but not a hard choice to occasionally let in "In the Air Tonight" and others… but 90s rock to present don't seem to fit……

I 2nd that.  The exact same story.

Remove the "self sacrifice" bit.  I have to say it does remind me of the Right wing guys running for President now.  When I constantly hear about "illegals," shutting down the EPA and the Department of Education all I can think is:

Uncle Jesse from the Dukes of Hazzard?

Conrad Bains D-Strokes kids all ended up being drug addicts, murderers, all around creepy adults.  There had to be some midnight visits by Mr. Bain slowly pealing off his mock turtle neck while the maid watched donned in leather slapping a riding crop to her palm.

you forgot to mention the always present Aqua Velva bottle in his office.  Very 70s indeed.

I remember it.  It was hard to watch.. because there was no laugh track (which is what we were all used to).  Comic but also slightly hard-boiled.  Boyle was a bit scary looking too.

another point:  Patience is paying off.  Seeing all the young gangsters together (not unlike the old timers a few weeks ago) was great.  We knew the history of each of them making their quirks and opinions have more weight.

Van Alden's reaction when he found out Nucky gave Lucy money was priceless.  He KNEW she would bail.

and I've seen all three and The Island of Lost Souls is by far better than the others.

I have to say the Brando one is a mess, but having just seen the Michael York one I would have to rank the 90s one above the 70s one.  It's nearly unwatchable.  Richard Basehart as the Law, though.

am I the only one who thinks Person of Interest is trying to be Batman?  He even speaks in that voice and usually wears all black (although AV club did a good job finding the McCloud-cross over jacket episode.)

they'd have to dig up his coffin.

I went to a screening of Fletch last year with Chevy Chase introducing the movie and taking questions at the end.  In the middle of the movie, he got up to go the bathroom.  Seeing young, tight-jeaned Fletch on the screen with old grey Chase walking toward me to go the the Men's Room at the same time was mind-blowing.…

you mentally "groped" Amy Poehler

The reason the sequels are bad is simple:  lousy story telling.  While the Matrix is brilliant and clear despite a twisty, dense plot.  The sequels are all talky trying to explain things and ends with some old guy in front of TVs.  God help me I had no idea what was going on in them.  Sure sign of a bad film.  If…

You know, I was just getting into The Commodore being a player in the story.  Now he's back to being a sick old man that doesn't say much.  Dabney Coleman must be thrilled he's in the margins again.

I like how the players always wear the same clothes.  Like Scooby Doo.

I don't know why they're setting themselves up for critics.  "Skyfall is spy fail.  Craig's return after 4 year hiatus a drab affair.  Quick, jumpy editing makes it hard for viewers to figure out just what's going on in action sequences, despite a handsomely shot sequence parachuting onto the Great Wall of China.…

Well… if TV could just do a straight superhero show the'd be ok.  The Hulk becomes The Fugitive… the shows are always comic book heroes with a twist.  Movies don't usually try to make the Hero something else… but when they do… like The Punisher they fail.
