Seriously? A Medieval Abbey on an airliner? That’s the most plausible plot device they could come up with? Why not threaten them with a shark?

Shucks, they never actually showed the abbey in the cargo hold, so they could have had anything in there! Maybe there WAS a shark!

And that’s why medieval abbeys are included on the TSA’s list of prohibited carry-ons.

I don’t know what’s more strange: the premise of The Horror at 37,000 Feet or the fact that a comedy about a brothel can be so tame. I guess it (by which I mean the latter film, of course) was following in the tradition of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.
Anyway, I can almost say that The Horror 37,000 Feet has the most contrived, bizarre set-up for a haunting I’ve seen in any work of fiction, but unfortunately I knew about this: “You have to get out of here! Your vagina is haunted!”

OK-with all the shark comments I just have to add this.
“SYDNEY (AP) — Journalists have a lot to be nervous about lately: layoffs, furloughs, newspaper closures. But reporters at an Australian paper may have received the scariest threat of the day when a live shark was left on their doorstep.”
Everyone is having a serious WTF moment over this one, but my heart at least warmed by:
“When police arrived, the animal — believed to be a relatively harmless Port Jackson shark — was still breathing, Warrnambool police Sgt. Tom Revell said Thursday.
So officers borrowed a bucket of water from McDonald’s, placed the shark inside it and drove to a nearby pier, where they released the creature back into the ocean.”
Lord knows if the poor thing survived, but at least people tried.

The prognosis is good; they’re tough little so-and-sos. Cute as the dickens, too.
Oh, and MatthewF? – thank you so much for that thought. I’ve been wiping up the drool for the past twenty minutes.

Awwwww, sharky!
And if any of you haven’t read Chad’s link with the haunted vagina….well, you’re missing out, because it officially BLEW MY DAMN MIND.

I noticed there’s been no Chekov film yet. You may already have one planned, but if not, dare I suggest…Moontrap?

In the middle of watching it now, actually.

My God. If you read down the comments on Chad’s link, somebody’s posted how to say “Haunted Vagina” in Hindi. Does anybody have Harinam Singh’s phone number? This is a movie that just HAS to be made. Think of the costumes! Think of the songs!
