You know what movie doesn't hold up? Airplane. It's awful. Used to be our fallback rental in high school, and now I find it unwatchable. Apart from most of the jokes falling flat and having poor timing, the offensive humor doesn't have any sort of edge or cleverness so it just comes off as insulting.

Only part that held up for me was the sick girl getting her IV yanked out by the guitar playing flight attendant.

Eagerly awaiting my former station in Nebraska to make its Facebook post about the Oscars so I can troll everyone who says they don't care or won't give their time to the Hollywood elites.

Saw a bunch of movies on vacation.

Phantom Thread - If you love PTA, you'll love this. If you don't, you will probably not like it. Beautiful, funny if you are viewing from the right mental angle, and a great metaphor for power dynamics in relationships.
Hostiles - A dumb western that is about the hopeless pointlessness of violence but never seems to learn it's own lesson.
Annihilation - Devastating and surreal. I'm currently dealing with some depression and anxiety issues and this movie is as artistic a portrayal of those issues and the self-destruction that can ensue as I've ever seen.
Black Panther - A good comic book movie. That's a loaded statement, but accurate. T'Challa is a boring character portrayed by a boring actor but the world of Wakanda is really cool, the supporting performances are great, and Killmonger is awesome with a cool Oakland/E40 accent.

I'm never not going to find the "drinking problem" gag funny, but the movie just doesn't work in the telling anymore.
