Exactly! Sometimes I think comedians think the only way to be funny these days is by being crass, and that may work in some places, but it seems to be a cheap way out instead of writing some good lines.
Bill & Ted third movie on the way?

Just saw the story that this project is now in development. Ugh. As a huge fan of both films (even though I'm not that fond of the sequel) I really don't see the point of making a third one other than the fact that Alex Winter's hasn't really done much since "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey". The thing with the first two films is that they were really a product of their time. I think they'd have to come up with a story that was not only funny but relevant to our time without being preachy and boring. I wish them luck but I don't see this coming out until 2013 or so.
I seem to recall talk not too long ago of a third movie, but with no Reeves -- basically a reboot. Thank goodness that appears to be dead!
I'll take a third film -- that just means another David Newman score, and his scores for both the films are among his absolute best work in the industry, so bring on another one of those!

Raising this thread from the dead with recent news that the third movie's getting closer.
And to my surprise, it sounds like they're going with something similar to the idea I mentioned above.
I doubt he'd do it, but Louis CK to fill in for George Carlin as Rufus would be awesome!
Anybody but Brody Stevens.

^ I'll really miss Carlin, but Louis CK actually seems like a pretty good replacement.
Spiff, is that avatar Fred Armisen from an SNL skit or Portlandia?

A film role suited to Keanu's acting ability!
I actually think Keanu's best film role was Ted Logan.
Nah. Special Agent Johnny Utah.
Reeves and Winter have both said they won't recast the role of Rufus, which is a relief.
Portlandia.
Damn, and I was hoping to see how Don Cheadle and Mark Ruffalo would do as Rufus.
Oops. I misread Obi's post and didn't see the part about Louis CK actually playing Rufus. I wouldn't want to see Rufus recast, but seeing Louis CK fill the role that would have gone to Rufus would be nice.
^That doesn't mean they can't just create a new character. I mean assuming Bill and Ted are basically the same people, they need someone to have a sodding clue what's going on and to tell them what to do.
I'm almost certain that's what they'll do.
Or, a reformed De Nomolos. He's the sit-up champion of the 27th century.
Also, can you believe the clowns who frequent IMDB rate Bogus Journey at a 5.8? Usually an opinion is just that, but it is fact that that movie is a 10.
