Could the movie Airplane be made today?
Thoughts January 29th, 2008
The obvious answer is yes, but boy would it suck.
Society today simply can’t handle a movie with that kind of humor. Think of this, an older man sits in an airplane cockpit with a young boy on his lap. He asks the boy “Joey, have you ever been in a men’s locker room?”, or “Joey, do you like gladiator movies?”. Think of how much outrage there would be about these perverted questions.
Or how about Dakota Fanning making a comment about “I like my coffee like I like my men.” That probably wouldn’t go over very well. I won’t even go into “Stewedess, I speak jive.”
No, in today’s pc society, there is no room for movies like this anymore. The closest we get is things like “Meet the Spartans”. Having not seen that, I can only guess that it is along the same lines as some of the other crap movies that attempt the comedy of old but fall way short.
Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.
