"Surely you can't be serious."
I liked it at the time. A nice addition to “Towering Inferno.:
The book was a lot better It really gave you the sense of everything being upside-down. A lot of it really couldn’t be expressed in a movie.
It’s always better the morning after.
I do remember the theme song by Maureen McGovern ("Morning After") being on the radio.
Irwin Allen, king of cheese , and creator of 60’s scifi TV, such as Lost in Space ( with the deadly carrot man), Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea ( with Nazi’s , commies, and deadly sea creatures almost every episode), and Land of the Giants ( with the kitty cat of doom always hunting the little people).
Today the JoeBiden adventure is a plot writing itself... Will it end like the Poopsidedown ( Mad magazines take on the poseidon adventure)? Watch the Fantasy worlds of Irwen Allen hosted by Billy Mumy for a walk down memory lane ( or is it a flying sub ride ( coolest TV vehicle of all time))
I cry every time Shelly Winters drowns. She almost made it!
Great childhood memories.
Shove it! Shove it! Shove it!!!
Said Robin to his big sister.
We thought that was almost swearing back in the day.
Gene Hackman’s character was new age-y pastor. We watched it not too long ago and I turned to my husband and said ,”What kind of sermon was that??”
Plus we were laughing at Stella Stevens maneuvering around a capsized ship in high heels!!! But it is entertaining and along with Towering Inferno and Earthquake a bit nostalgic as well
Great Movie, very realistic. Leslie Nielsen plays Captain Biden.
They didn’t wear their mask. That’s why they died.
Saw it back then 1972. Years later I am watching the movie DAYLIGHT with Sylvester Stallone, about taxi riders trapped in a tunnel under the NY harbor.
After a while I began to know what was coming next, and who would be killed next. Then I realized I was just watching a remake of POSEIDON ADVENTURE under the NY harbor. I believe the actual term for a rewrite script is “haircut”.
You also see the hostility toward Christianity on display in the Gene Hackman character.
Borgnine was very good in that movie.
Pamela Sue Martin got this young boy excited.
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...
But I thought this was about the Xiden administration!!🤓
Actually, one of the better cheesy disaster flicks from the 1970s with the original Airport probably being the best of them.

Quite a list isn’t it? And one man was involved in all this and he’s still active today. Directors get it on film. This man makes it entertainment. Anyone know who this is. I would hope so. He’s a hero of mine for his contribution to the world using his art. An amazing talent.
