Has died. He was 83. Those from the first 2/3rds of the baby boom will remember him as "Mr. Phelps" on the original "Mission: Impossible" series.
I first heard about his death this morning; Al Roker mentioned it during the "Wake Up With Al" show on the Weather Channel. He suggested that, considering the weather in the northeast, that it was a good day to "stay inside and watch gladiator movies." Stephanie Abrams, who apparently had no idea what Roker was talking about, said that she would go rent a gladiator movie.
So, for those who also had no idea what Al Roker was referring to:
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

If you want to have some fun get the movie that Airplane was based on and made great fun of,"Zero Hour"
ReplyDeleteZero Hour! is a 1957 movie written by Arthur Hailey, starring Dana Andrews, Linda Darnell, and Sterling Hayden, and released by Paramount Pictures. Zero Hour! served as the basis for the spoof Airplane!.[1] Zero Hour! was a remake of Hailey's 1956 Canadian Broadcasting Corporation play Flight into Danger.[citation needed] Hailey also co-wrote a novel with John Castle based on the same premise, titled Flight Into Danger: Runway Zero-Eight (1958).
I read over on Avsig that Zucker bought the rights to Zero Hour! in order to make Airplane!

ReplyDeleteI happened on Zero Hour last week. I recall seeing this as a child but never put it together about Airplane! until viewing it again. And you're right, it is fun to watch!
