defrogI mentioned during this series that one good thing about flying in a new A380 is that its in-flight entertainment system is state of the art.
To include Wi-Fi connectivity, even, though I didn’t try it. I don’t know why – probably because my previous experience suggested that I would be billed $30 for it, and I just didn’t need to check Facebook that badly.
Anyway, they had on-demand video. And so, of course, I spent flight time watching Old Stuff, because I can see Recent Hollywood Hits any old time.
Specifically, I watched these.
Of the three, I’d only seen North By Northwest before, but that was a long time ago. (It's still good, if a little cheesy.)
The Great Race is worth highlighting, if only because it ended up being an inspiration for a Saturday morning cartoon. And of course there’s Jack Lemmon hamming it up. And Natalie Wood in a bustier.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for stupid, 60s-era screwball slapstick comedy.
