It's an entirely different kind of movie altogether.

"I broke my neck in Hawaii body surfing several years ago, so I was kind of in a halo with that."

What a pisser.

It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.

My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

I just watched this again on Netflix last week.

It never gets old. Every joke is funny, even though I know it's coming. It's a miraculous movie, really.

My favorite bit of Airplane trivia: the ZAZ team went to Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul & Mary) to get permission to use the song "River of Jordon". He was reluctant. He wrote this song for one of best friends and his bride and performed it at their wedding. They explained that they wanted it for a scene where a stewardess tries to cheer up a sick girl by performing this song for her. He liked that context, so he gave them permission to use it.

Then he saw the movie. He wasn't amused.

That is glorious. You always hear about Hollywood lies and bullshiat, but rarely do they use that power for good. Next time I watch that scene it will be with another level of appreciation.

I was exposed to it as a child, and no matter how many times I've sat and watched, it's never lost any of its awesomeness.

/Yes. I guess Airplane! too.
