Yeah, they've made it through most of the '60s and '70s, why not start on the '80s. I won't watch those any more than I'm going to rush out to see Dukes of Hazard with What'shertwit.

It's not the studios I'm pissed at - it's the masses that love crap and will pay to see it, again and again.

Bankability on a known name is a real driving force...

Not again! Transformers was already RUINED with that so-called Transformers movie in 1986 that killed more than half of our beloved Autobots within the first 15 minutes! It was an evil, greedy move back in 1986 to force us kids to buy new toys, meaning the new Transformer characters introduced in that movie. But my friends and I (and most people I knew) stopped liking Transformers after that movie. We wistfully pretended that movie and its slaughter of our favorite characters never existed. Those new 1986 Transformers (both Autobots and Decepticons) did not have the "heart" of the previous ones.

I'm a robot lover. I cannot pretend a complete lack of interest.I mean, the possibility of seeing them looking almost real? Like I could RIDE in one? Well, I'll probably be one of the paying losers. Sue me.

I'll probably go see it, especially if I can get in to a free screening...

I think they should remake Battlefield Earth with Boom Boom and Horshack instead of Travolta and Whitaker.
I also think that Golden Girls: The Early Years would be funny, but I'm really, really holding out for that Gary Coleman/Emmanuel Lewis buddy cop picture.

Maybe this will be my chance to score some bucks on Ebay by unloading my Transformers collection. We went all the way to Canada to get Optimus Prime.

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider,
she didn't care of the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc, with the Lord to guide her,
she was a sister who really cooked.
Isadora was a first bra burner
Aint' ya glad she showed up?
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up
And then there's Maude
And then there's Maude
And then there's Maude
And then there's Maude
And then there's Maude
And then there's Maude
And then there's that old compromisin, enterprisin' anything but traqulizin' Right on Maude!!!

Oh my! What a cast! Boss Radio, you're killing me here! :D
You must spread some Mojo around before giving it to Boss Radio again.
