Let me know as soon as there’s any change in his condition.
RIP to a legend.
I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Surely I will remember him fondly.
Of course you will, but don't call me Shirley.
Thank you. We had to do it.
It was about this time that my drinking problem started.
"Airplane" is called "Flying High" in Australia because the film it spoofed was an Australian film.
I love how spoofing it meant 95% of the dialog and story was the same. What a classic.
The man has given me a lot of great laughs. A life well lived and not soon to be forgotten.
Somehow I didn't watch Airplane! Until I was an adult but I loooooved Naked Gun and other similar spoof movies (I used to be able to recite the Spaceballs movie from memory for the most part, always paired Naked Gun type comedy with Mel Brooks in my head) growing up. So it's sad that a director that managed to film such hilarious scenes that are by much artistic merit silly and stupid. I love silly and stupid so I'm sadder today. I hope he can direct some being in the afterlife to perform some comedy.
Always remember even if it's stupid and makes you laugh, at least it made you laugh and few things are better than a good laugh.
What can you make of this?
I've learnt something this past week. About the Earth. And about love. I guess love is like the ozone layer. You never miss it until it's gone.
But, this is a different kind of sad, altogether.
This is a different kind of sad.
Noooooooo! Some people shouldn't die
I would say this is fitting to post:https://youtu.be/l7rCmIc4dZ8 I like to think he would find it funny.
