Outstanding performances by everyone, even teased out a bit of emotion from me at the end

I did a bit of research (i.e. looked on Wikipedia) and discovered the liberties which were taken by the screenwriters, taking some things from the mid-1950s and moving them to 1961. As I said, this compressed the timeline and created more dramatic tension and emotional impact about such things of de-segregating the toilets, which opened in 1958, three years before this happened in the film, and Dorothy Vaughan becoming a supervisor in 1949, 12 years before it was depicted in the film.

However, this is a case of 'not letting the truth get in the way of a good story' and taking some liberties for dramatic licence – the film would not have had the emotional impact if all events were shown exactly as they happened in real life.

I was going to say I'm sure that one's not locked I've been meaning to pick it up for ages. That said it seems to have gone shooting up in price.

AIRPORT 1975

A stewardess takes the controls of a 747 when a light aircraft hits the cockpit, killing two air crew and injuring another. With a huge hole in the cockpit and taking flight orders from the ground, a decision is made to transfer another pilot from a helicopter to land the plane..

This film does get a bad rap and I really do not understand why. It's great entertainment. Karen Black is excellent as the stewardess under pressure. Lots of stars and recognisable faces along with a good music score and effects make this an enjoyable disaster movie and a great nights viewing.

A total lack of reviews from me this week as i haven't watched a thing. No films not tv series, nothing, except a football match each night then gone to bed.

I've had great sleep though. Nine and a half hours straight through last night.

[gag]

Nine and half hours .. Wish I could that's almost 2days sleep for me . I tend to be still awake around 3 4 in the morn and wake up around 8:30 9 ish
Even worse when I'm working ..
