I seem to recall Steven having a thing for Moneypenny. She'll be missed indeed.

No, Steve had a thing for Miss Moultrie, who played Miss Monneypenney in some video we made in high school. Ironically, that video was worth about one penny. Weird.

Ahhh...Martha Moultrie. I still remember the look she gave me when I snuck in for a kiss.

Good thing looks don't kill.

I don't know when these were posted, but what a funny thing to find when I google my maiden name!

I know exactly who Rick, George, and Steve are and would love to catch up with all of you!!!!!

Welcome to the party, Martha. I'm glad you enjoyed the comments by Rick, Steve, and myself, but you may have overlooked that this blog is run by Jay and Chuck. There's more Airport Class of '86 alums here than you can shake a stick at.

This has to be one of the funniest comment chains I have read in quiet a while.

Thanks George. Did not realize who was running this show. I guess I was too caught up in the fact that I found it! I remember the English project y'all were doing and I remember the airport incident too! Showed this too my husband the other day and he laughed when he read Steve's comment - he's been on the receiving end of that look before!!

Mott, I believe you were called in the day. Nice to hear from you. Funny how little we've all seen and heard from you over the years, yet somehow Steve manages to bring you to the forefront of our thoughts quite regularly. It's as though we've all never been apart.

Are you still playing Moneypenny? -Jay

By the way, Mott's sister, Meg popped up once with a comment on our blog, though I don't recall Meg ever being in one of our movies. Didn't she date Rick's brother?

Yes... "she" did. Gee, I remember going out with you, too, though Jay.
But this is my first Blog appearance....
not sure who is impersonating me!

Meg did go out with Jeff for quite some time. Actually, Jeff's most interesting date was his 8th grade dance date! I was at Rick's house with friends for Trivial Pursuit fun and we went to pick Jeff and his date up from the dance. Rick and I had to keep from laughing when Jeff got in the car...sans date!!

I had forgotten Meg and Jeff dated. This is the comment chain that just won't end!

Welcome to the party, Meg. When are you starting your blog?

Operation Finale Aims High, Misses the Mark

Image
Operation Finale (2018) ★★ ½   Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, Lior Raz, Mélanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, and Joe Alwyn; directed by Chris Weitz with a screenplay by Matthew Orton. Operation Finale is based on the true story of Israeli Mossad and Shin Bet agents who, in 1960, tracked down and captured Adolf Eichmann, the architect of the Holocaust and one of the world’s most wanted Nazi war criminals. It’s a story I have always thought would make a great movie, and director Chris Weitz ( The Golden Compass ) sets out to do just that, though the results are mixed at best. Ben Kingsley as Adolf Eichmann in OPERATION FINALE. Metro-Goldwyn-Ma yer      The cast of Israelis, let by Oscar Isaac, is sufficient though not brilliant. Ben Kingsley, as the enigmatic Eichmann, is superb. What suffers here is the script, which not only takes some liberties with the facts, but fails to deliver the level of high-stakes drama found in films su ch as Steven Spiel...

Captain Marvel Makes Her Debut

Captain Marvel (2019) ★ ★ ½ Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou, Annette Benning. Captain Marvel burst onto the big screen in a big way this month, with a post-credits sequence setting up the titular character as a major force to be reckoned with in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame .  Having never liked the comic book, this was one Marvel movie I was not looking forward to. Having seen it, I am pleased to report that I liked it better than I thought I would, but not as much as I had hoped. Here’s what I liked: Annette Benning, chewing the scenery and looking great; Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury with two good eyes; Goose the non-cat; Agent Coulson; the sinister and creeping-looking Skrulls; Stan Lee’s inside-joke cameo as himself (the year is 1995 and Lee is seen on a train reading the script to Kevin Smith’s Mallrats , in which he had a cameo); and Brie Larson, a talented actress who holds her own in a performance with dangerously high fanboy expecta...
