[quote=Yoda]:laugh: Okay, then. I just mean in general. Seems like a lot of people are hailing the destruction of this or that. Oh no, no more Joe DiMaggios today (even though he wasn't a particularly nice guy anyway). People and things of the past tend to become mythologized and exaggerated so that their modern-day replacements can apparently never live up to them.[/quote]

[quote=The Silver Bullet]Not back when cinema was being invented, Chris. They would have been thinking, "This thing'll last a few months and trickle out. Like Opium."

"But Opium is rampant!"

"Shutup."[/quote]

[quote=The Silver Bullet]Look. Let the theorem take it's course.
All in good time.[/quote]

[quote=spudracer]Nope...still here...no gorilla yet[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Yeah...I see what you mean and all, but I can't help but feel that people worry in the same way every single generation.[/quote]

[quote=Sunfrogolin]Is Spud dead yet?[/quote]

[quote=The Silver Bullet]Well, sure, there are a few that are really good. But even some of the older one's (Altman) are going to be dying soon, leaving behind films that are great, and people like, I know it's a bit extreme, but like Tom Green to carry the torch.

It [i]is[/i] disapointing.
Although I know where you're coming from.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]Uh, I wouldn't say its as bad as that. You don't think we've got new filmmakers and such rushing to take the place of older ones? I don't share that pessimism. :)[/quote]

[quote=The Silver Bullet][I]The Goon Show[/i]

It's like the end of an era.
The second in such a short time. First Chuck Jones, now Milligan.

It's like everyone you grow up idolising slowly dying off, leaving behind legacy's you love and copy-cat performer's you don't respect.

It stinks.[/quote]

[quote=Holden Pike]Oh, man, that is very sad news. Been at work all dat so I didn't find out until I read the shouts. Spike Mulligan was a Prince among men - and a gah-damn funny one too.

S.C. - you may recognize Spike from his cameo in [i]Monty Python's Life of Brian[/i], during the "follow the gourd/shoe" sequence in the middle of the movie.[/quote]

[quote=L .B . Jeffries]Spike was part of the goon show with Peter Sellers and HARRY SECOMBE
