It was a good movie... Loved when both MAD and Cracked did a spoof on it...In MAD the survivors got on the Titantic 🤓 Cracked had them eaten by Jaws..

LOL! I was at a CVS earlier today, and they had like a MAD semi-hardcover MAD magazine spoofing all the science fiction movie pictures, and I basically read it, while the difficult person was arguing with the casheir

I didn't buy it because I could not find out what the price was.

Actually, one of the better cheesy disaster flicks from the 1970s with the original Airport probably being the best of them.

Yes, I saw it at my local Public yesterday. Some of those spoofs were funny, especially Star Bored..a spoof of Star Wars and Star Trek spoofs...(one had Capain Kirk throwing up through an open window).

The last few years of MAD was wrecked by Liberalism...not as funny. Now it isn't published, except for the special editions.

We don’t need any now, we have a DISASTER in real life. It is called the Socialist Biden Adventure.

So many remakes are terrible because they don’t make you not care about the characters. The remake of Bad News Bears, besides being a pc diversity laden film, was so terrible it didn’t matter if they won or lost. Billy Bob Thornton was just a mean old drunk, whereas Walter Matthau was a grouchy drunk who learned to care about his team. I watched the original in the last month.

It wasn’t a cruise ship.

It was a passenger ship intended to move passengers from point A to point B.

Was it she, or the Carol Lynley character, who was climbing ladders in the ridiculous platform shoes?

Exactly. Enrico Pallazzo! He gave us so much beloved comedy, that in his ‘serious’ roles, it’s like he is only delaying something really funny.

I remember the Mad Magazine version. Actually that was my only exposure to a lot of 70s movies.

I remember their version of "Barry Lyndon." Although it takes place in the eighteenth century, the prop designers thought it was about the presidential election of 1964.

He actually was on the airplane with my husband and I when we where in Hawaii for our Honeymoon back in 1980.

He was very nice to the people who recognized him.

And she purposely put on a great deal of weight for that part. She use to be very slim.

My Mom loved her. She never took the weight off after that movie.
