        Ralph Bakshi is my hero. I was a teenager in the mid ‘80s when he did The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse on CBS Saturday morning. No one could understand why I was such a big fan of a kid’s cartoon, but it was pretty subversive for Saturday morning!

          I recall there was a controversy because MM was sniffing flowers and it looked like he was snorting cocaine.

            Yep, you’re exactly right, and parents groups made a huge fuss, which is what ultimately took the show off the air in the middle of the second season.

          You have access to over a century’s worth of movies and entertainment. Don’t assume that the new stuff is the best stuff.

            The newest stuff definitely isn’t the best stuff, a lot of it is just rehashed garbage with a lot of CGI. The newest Top Gun was great because it was like 90% practical stunts.

              I’ll put the original ‘The Italian Job’ with Michael Caine over any of the Fast And Furious movies.
