Oh no, that's unexpected. She was a regular on Letterman in his early years. She once appeared wearing only a towel

Goodbye John "The Bruiser" Prescott.
The left could really do with more in his mould.

RIP Jim Abrahams. The Zucker/Abrahams/Zucker films (esp. Airplane! and Top Secret) were highly formative for me growing up.

I love those movies.

You probably have, but just in case you haven't check out Police Squad! on Youtube, the very short-lived TV show (6 episodes) produced by ZAZ.  It formed the basis for the Naked Gun movies, but to my mind are even funnier.

I have the DVDs.

I have the DVDs.

I kind-of expected as much.

I want to show my kids Airplane! but some of the humour is pretty topical to the 70s that even I only barely get.  I mean - jokes about Hare Krishnas (which I only understand from old Mag Magazine jokes), or disco jokes, or even "smoking or not smoking" - non wof that has any meaning to kids born in the 2010s.

I was thinking of showing Airplane to my 10 yo nephew when he comes to visit. Plenty of jokes that still work I'm sure, although perhaps not in translation.

Yeah, but the visual gags ("Mind if we take some pictures?") and much of the verbal humor ("Hospital? What is it?") would still work. Kentucky Fried Movie would be a much harder sell. But the first Naked Gun movie might be the easiest one to onboard someone onto Z/A/Z movies.

His parents might be annoyed that he saw the bare breast scene.  And maybe the blowjob scene...

I just learned Colin Renfrew died.

Nudity isn't a big deal here. I don't remember a bj scene.

I was thinking it would be less adult oriented than something like The Naked Gun, but I might be wrong.

Elaine has to re-inflate the automatic pilot by blowing into a small tube just below his belt buckle...

As with all of Airplane! it's not exactly subtle.

The bare breasts are for approximately 2 seconds.

[crazy canuck]

But when I was young and watching it the movie theatre, what a glorious 2 seconds it was.

RIP Peter Sinfield, Lyricist for King Crimson, Celine Delon, Buck's Fizz and lots of 70/80's pop songs.

And co-creator with Greg Lake of 'I Believe in Father Christmas' 

[Josephus]

Loved his Crimson lyrics when I was a teenager.

Confusion will be my epitaph
As I crawl, a cracked and broken path
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying
