The problem for me is that Airplane! made Mel Brooks parodies look kinda out of date.

Tomlin makes the playoffs with Kenny Pickett twice, and the washed up carcasses of Justin Fields, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers and he never gets consideration for coach of the yea.

Gas pump safety experts also alarmed...

I've mentioned it to friends before. Rob Reiner's run of films in the 80s, all right in a row, is the best winning streak of any director ever. It's a group of remarkably great movies and he doesn't repeat himself.

Rule of social media: All Tomlin rumors are untrue/preposterous.

Mayors have very little effect on a city's homicide rate, especially in the short term. New York City's homicide rate will continue to drop most likely because that's what it's been doing for the last 35 years, modulo an occasional hiccup (like the pandemic).

Box office matters, this is the movie business. When you have the highest grossing film of all time, something happened. (fwiw, I haven't seen either Avatar.)

Well, they have "happened." They are the #1 and #3 highest grossing movies ever. I get your point about their cultural impact, but if each movie grosses $2-$3 billion, they happened by definition.

Trump is a land of many contrasts.

If anything, billionaires are so detached from reality, they are less qualified than people who don't live with yes men surrounding them.
