The idea of challenging characters seem to really grate on older audiences. They want their worldviews confirmed to an almost aggressive degree.

I can make it through both films, because I love both films. So there.

In other words, they're getting on in years, and have no idea what good movies are out there. Or, they're older people who can't stand anything from Sundance or Telluaride.

Excuse me? Good comedy is still good comedy, no matter how you slice it.

Not quite. Maxwell Smart was an incompetent who was where he was because of the Peter Principle, and no more than that. Austin Powers was not an incompetent agent, but a competent one (the character is more based on the movie version of Matt Helm than on Maxwell Smart, as well as some of Derek Flint.)

This 'TCM for TV' concept will have to be a fully pay-TV with no ads in order to work, with introductions similar to the ones Robert Osborne gives out before each movie.

Eventually, they will have to start showing 'newer' films, because some of them are considered to be classics already-the 80's is now the past, and the 90's will be the past soon enough in just a few year's time. Rerunning Casablanca all of the time will (and is) getting mighty stale.

Is it possible that the RRHOF is just getting around to doing so, due to, oh, I don't know, all of the other artists that made music besides him?

He did, they paid him a ton of money for it most likely. Stop being such a hater of a sample song, the Beatles did the same thing a couple of times, and I don't see people being concerned about that. Or, is it only cool when a white artist lifts a bit out of a black person's song?

I do.

'Classic Rock' (or 'Classic Rot', as I call it) needs to die off and be complete gone. All music radio should play new music, and only new music, period. Those that need their classic rock fix can buy CD and MP3s like everybody else-that's how I did it as a 12-years old back in the early '80s, and Bob & June Baby-Boo…

Did Billy make one?

If Kurt could have got his shit together, he 'd be here now doing what Scott's doing. Instead, he's gone. Cherish the fact that Scott's here, and can channel his inner Crosby.

So what? Why should that bother you or anybody else?

@TheLordFlasheart: What would be an interesting way to update the show would be to have and American agent and, say, a Persian/Iranian agent working together…showing that they can get along despite certain organizations trying to push their countries to war. I mean, if you can have a Russian as a hero on American…

'Creepy and disorienting' only to cynical and callow people like yourself, Lovercraft, and Anal Beads, you mean. At least Doc was something to strive for and admire, and wasn't simply a 'Who gives a shit' kind of person, much like Doc's 1980's counterpart, Buckaroo Banzai.

According to indie/Sundance addicted peons like you. But only you.
