I love that movie, “Demolition Man”

My wife still kids me about my crush on a young Sandra Bullock!

I love Monty Python but Cleese has been spouting the leftist thought for years. I hope he enjoys what he supported. I know I don’t.

Leslie Nielson got the best “kick start” on a movie career ever with “Airplane”.
The other Police Squad stuff is not bad.

Now to watch Forbidden Planet Ann Francis pretty

I saw Airplane with my 10 year old nephew in the theater when it first came out. I hadn’t laughed that hare since Jimmy Durante kicked the bucket in It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World which I saw in the special “Cinerama” theater in Boston. Cinerama was a super wide screen with three synchronized reels on a curved screen that happened in the early 60s.

I suppose it was the same, pun based, comedy that the Zuckers brought to Airplane. Monty Python was the same sort of comedy.

1975 would be better for me (if you can get that time machine going).

and then I’m gonna STAY back there!

Liberals are the most humorless people on the planet.

And their singular goal is equal misery for all, except themselves.

I came across an episode of Green Acres within the week. A word was muted (perhaps the same word, twice) during the dialog. I am not sure who decides what level of standards are permitted in contemporary TV but the show was one of the best sitcoms produced.
