I remember actually crying the first time I saw the co-pilot in Airplane.
Especially the scene when he flies the plane away at the end.

Don't think it would be as funny with a rewatch though, and not convinced they'll be able to replicate that type of comedy now with this remake

Are they remaking it AOM? Hmm, always wary of remakes, whatever the subject. Comedy wise, only think of disasters when something so old is done again, like Bilko or the Pink Panther, which is a shame because I quite like Steve Martin in original stuff.

Watched Airport 1975 the other day, it was on Legend or something, I'd seen it as a kid in the cinema so watched for nostalga. Quite a few moments when I laughed thinking of the Airplane scenes, like the stewardess playing the guitar or Captain Kramer being a micky take of Heston. I think it holds up pretty well as a slapstick kind of comedy and it led to Police Squad being made which I loved, but you're right how people and times change, we tend these days to appreciate more sophisticated comedies for their word play.

Yeah, like Mrs. Brown's Boys.

Cant' get on with that, but the wife loves it. Strange gal.

Sorry they're remaking Naked Gun, not Airplane.

Hopefully they leave Airplane well alone but I wouldn't be surprised if the new film is a success

Half way through Heads Of State on Prime, starring Idris Elba and John Cena.

Great, dumb, popcorn fun.

Well, so far anyway.

Leave your brain at home.
