How the [censored] can OOT be clogged up? It's OOT -- "other other topics." As in, all the [censored] that doesn't go in the other forums, goes here.

I don't care what a bunch of under-23-year-old, hottest-chick votin', I-can't-think-for-myself-so-help-me-pick-an-avatar askin' OOTers think. As long as there is a movie-awards show like The Academy Awards, Chaplin will never be forgotten. I don't care if it's 50,000 years from now, they'll always pay tribute to the ones who started it all.

Obviously the same can be said for The Beatles, no question about it. My only point is that in the long run, I believe it will be closer than most 2+2ers may suspect. And frankly, I can't imagine either being forgotten.

You will hear the beatles music, and references to it, more often than you will even hear anything about Chaplin.

How often is a chaplin special on TV? Or even one of his movies? Compare that to the beatles constant rotation on the radio and commercials.

It's not even close.

chaplin's last major directing job was in 1952, and his heydey was the 1930's. he's already been remembered longer.

the beatles are great; but they are remembered more b/c it's easier to give them playtime; 3 minutes (beatles song) vs 60 or so (chaplin film).

chaplin will be remembered for a long long time. btw...how many other directors can you name from the 1930's? 2 or three, maybe? you can clearly name more musicians from the 1960's...

You know what you may hear when it's a commercial during a chaplin movie? A beatles tune.
