Surely Airplane! would never get made today because one of the most iconic lines would get deleted for "misgendering."

But I digress, and don't call me Shirley.

And don't engage in any of that jive taking either.

Barbara Billingsley - what a bigot. I am sure that today the actress who played the mom on Leave It To Beaver and spoke jive in Airplane! would be reviled as a Karen, TERF and pearl-clutching old biddy embodying whiteness.

Zucker, who's films include Airplane! and the Naked Gun series,

Oh COME ON, Daily Mail, it’s whose, not who’s. Stop poaching the Grauniad’s staff.

Is "slammed" being added to the dictionary as a synonym for ranted about?

Welcome to o/Movies!

This is a circle for discussion of films. We invite and support civil, open discussion of all genres. Talk about a film you saw recently, a great (or terrible!) review, or your favorite director. Casual opinions are welcome, as are serious debates about film theory.

We do not prohibit any films, and we welcome constructive discussion about films that have controversial or difficult content (however, we expect that you follow the Ovarit Rules and Guidelines). We understand that some people may find specific works or genres to be distasteful or triggering to them personally, while others may enjoy talking about them, or consider them to have artistic merit. We ask that you exercise common sense with regards to what you choose to participate in, and why.

Tag your posts with the appropriate flair, and use the NSFW tag if appropriate. If your post contains spoilers about the plot of a recent film, please mention that in the title. Spoilers are not required for older films, films that are well-known, or films that have a broad cultural significance. You can tag any spoilers using >! word !<. For example, >! test !< will result in test .
