Disco is a parakeet who has a special ability. Disco can drop movie references like the best of us. From Disco’s Facebook page: Disco is a budgerigar, commonly called a parakeet in the United States and a budgie in most other anglophone countries. Disco has a real knack for picking …

I wrote about how the script of Airplane! is literally the script of another movie, Zero Hour!, with a little bit added to it.  Many of the parts that seem like they have to be added later as a joke actually were in the film as serious dialog (Our survival hinges on …

Just a note that the Virginia branch of the Alamo Draft House will be doing three separate Airline! nights, complete with props.  Quoting along is highly encouraged. From the website: “You ever seen a grown man naked?†The Action Pack is proud to present an entirely different kind of screening: …

I wrote before that the script of Airplane! was basically lifted directly from the movie, Zero Hour! My post today referencing Airport (another influence of Airplane!) inevitably lead me down a YouTube trail of clips and doom.  Well, minus the doom. And I came across this awesome video mashup of …

I have some sad news to report--Netflix is planning on removing Airplane! from its list of avaliabile movies as of May 1st.  Leaving Netflix? What is it?! It’s a movie rental system that’s half-digital half-by-mail but that’s not important. Fear not though!  We at Le Chic Geek have some options …

If you spot Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reprising his role from Airplane!, he may tell you you are mistaken.  You must have him confused with some- one else. His name is Roger Murdock. He’s the co-pilot. But don’t be fooled, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is reprising his role from Airplane! along with Robert Hays, …

My husband recently hosted a Zero Hour! viewing party.  Many people know the lines from Airplane!, but most don’t know the lines were literally lifted from another movie–a serious movie!
