“I picked the wrong day to give up Ketrecel White!”
Had this idea the last time Airplane was referenced, but thought it was a bit mean spirited as its own post. As a comment, however…
Lol, very worth it. I had tried making a gif with this scene and one from Trek a while back, but completely scrapped it because I couldn’t figure out how to post it.
I have to take a moment from the thread to compliment this actress
She made Kai Wynne so hateable, she did an incredible job acting, she has my respect!
She got an Oscar (for a different role) and during he speech she said “well it looks like you all hated me so much”
“It looks like mine!” he adds.
…I had no idea! Wow
For anyone who is a Trek fan, I strongly recommend MGM’s Forbidden Planet as ‘must see’ viewing.
It was the most expensive movie ever made in its time in the mid 1950s, and Roddenberry cited it as the kind of science fiction he wanted to bring to television in tone and high production values (for the time).
There’s a clear throughline to ‘The Cage.’
Also, you’ll see that George Lucas borrowed a few visual ideas for his Star Wars as well.
This meme is basically what airplane 2 was.
I got that joke!
Dozens of us did … dozens!
