I had a lovely post typed up, then every circuit breaker in the house tripped.

Suffice it to say you will never hear how my New Year's was.

Blah. Going to watch Airplane.

Wah. I was counting on you to give me a vicariously exciting New Year. :)

Have you seen Airplane! before? (I assume we're talking about the same movie, though I'm not sure.) It's hysterical.

"And don't call me Shirley."

*grins* I've retyped and am about to re-post. Such is the demand, so is the supply.

Airplane! is the best film ever. This is the first time I've seen it all the way through, and I love it. The watermelon that falls randomly through the roof! The suicidal fellow-travellers! " The man in the taxi!

And, and, and the credits. Charles Dickens is credited as "Author of a Tale of Two Cities."

*dies*

That's much better.

I have probably seen Airplane! five hundred times, mostly with my mother. As a result, we both know it line by line, and tend to recite along with it. The jive talk is her favorite; sometimes she'll randomly break out with "Bet babe, slide a piece o' da porter!"

Me, I like to do the cockpit scene.
"You ever been in a cockpit before?
...You ever... seen a grown man naked?
...Joey, did you ever hang around a gymnasium?
...Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"

And the "no fornicating" light-up sign! And the killer golden retriever! And "We have clearance, Clarence"; "Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?" And Johnny, who may well be my favorite part of the whole movie! ("What kind of plane is it?" "Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the window, and wheels. It looks like a big tylenol.")

Clearly, I am overzealous. *grins*

*flails about* The jive talk is brilliant. So is everything about the film. The aeroplane crashing through the windows comes to mind.

So does: "Joey, you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

And "We have clearance, Clarence"; "Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"

Ahahahaha. Can you believe, I totally didn't see that coming? *giggle*

The couple having a fight over an abortion over the tannoy. "No, the white phone!" The brawling girl scouts!

We could do this all night, couldn't we?

There is a post now. I caved. :)

There is now a post. I supply where there is demand. ;)

Punching out the religious men!

We could; but I have to dash to a movie.

Hee, I saw and read. It was terribly interesting and entertaining.
