       alright, it's finally time for lunch and Airplane! (1980) time to see how horribly it's aged!

       if i wasn't already thinking of doing a rewatch of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) soon, seeing Ethel Merman pop up in this has sold me

       there are some amazing moments in this but it still feels like i'm tip-toeing through a mine field waiting for the next racist or sexist joke to pop up

       as ridiculously long as this runway is, it's still shorter than the runway unironically was in Fast & Furious 6

       that... wasn't as bad as i feared. there's more than a little comedy genius. worth the rewatch.

       @hex worried there would be some dated jokes or really terrible shit?

       @Thomas it was the racism that i was afraid of more than anything and... there were some parts but they were minor and more silly than anything. plenty of sexploitation but, once again, it feels intentionally silly which just undermines any sexism in it.

       i think why i would defend this film over other comedies that didn't age well is that while some comedies punch down (even UHF), this didn't feel like it really threw any punches. everyone is goofy in this universe and as the film progresses the knob labeled "bonkers" gets steadily turned up from 1 to 10
