Secondly, I did in fact comment.

See the reference above to the movie, Dr. Strangelove. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybSzoLCCX-Y&t=94s At 4:13. Maybe you (maybe even the large majority of you?) are just way too young to have seen this movie.
> haha I wish I was way too young - Anyway, I know the movie is a classic of sorts. I think it's an anti war movie to some degree. And i even tried watching it a while back but didn't find it interesting (but maybe I should try again) I was instantly clued-in when I saw the use of the word, "gap". "mine-shaft gap" and "missile gap" came to mind. While I generally like the way society and technology is progressing, one seemingly minor exception involves the esoteric question, "How do people have access to old movies?" As I pointed out, TV stations used to play old (non-current-run) movies for free (although with commercials) extensively. How do we watch, today, movies like Dr. Strangelove? Is it available at the local used-DVD shop? (I haven't looked.) Okay, Youtube a few years ago shifted movies to a pay-model, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=her67M_clPc Problem is, notice that the price for this movie is $3.99. That's pretty much the same price as all the other old movies. Sounds artificial: While some relatively recent movies might be worth that price, I think one dollar (or less) should be the going rate for old movies from before, say, the year 2000. I have Netflix, but they are far from being a complete stock of all old movies. There are apparently other, similar services. But again, I doubt whether any of them are close to having "every old movie ever made". Jim Bell
