I agree with your thoughts on the TV scene. They were smart enough to retain the stark "whiteness" of the original. I loved the movie references, although I think much of the audience was too young to "get" it.

Songs are always tricky in movies. Again, They were wise enough to keep the songs short. I was 50/50 on the songs, but didn't think they were too bad.

I would like to add that the film seemed very well paced, well cast, and was great fun. It's hard not to do a scene for scene comparison while watching however.
