Is that the only joke from that movie? Because it's the second time it's been posted here
The title is the post. Really, you need to know: The Great Race is better on pretty much every dimension than Aeroplane – comedic timing, joke density, meme-ability, sound track, cringe-resistance… It’s just, better.

The Great Race is better on pretty much every dimension than Airplane! – comedic timing, joke density, meme-ability, sound track, cringe-resistance… It’s just, better. It holds up better, too.
They are admittedly very different movies, both really well done. But TGR has absolutely epic production that’s not necessarily obvious on the surface. The big fist fight, for instance – the moment when Leslie stage dives is choreographed with so much detail, and most of the stunts in that shot are tossed aside like croutons, but absolutely make the scene.
Another thing is that TGR never winks at the camera, despite being pretty campy. That's a feat!
Last but not least: the best pie fight in screen history
the trailer for the Great Race doesn’t contain a single joke.
Maybe you just didn't get the jokes?
Oh I'm just here to have fun! But hey, of you want to grump around that's your rainy day not mine! 😘
Watch them yourself, no one else's opinion matters. But mine is actually correct.

To say nothing of the best pie fight in screen history.
And: more brandy!

Ha -- one of my favorite hobbies has an active listserv. They also apparently have a FB group but it's not as active nor as helpful.
sorry, I mean, if you didn't have to worry about food, housing, healthcare. I just edited the title to reflect that.
Re-creating this thread a different server.
edit: "not work" as in "food, housing, and healthcare needs are met," not as in "billionaire super-villain money"
I would sail sail the great lakes for weeks at a time.
I would write more music, and hire musicians to play it with me.
I would spend half the summer growing food (which I already do!)
I would continue to invest in my own mental health, but spend more time meditating.
I have chronic fatigue (to simplify a longer story), and spending that precious energy solving logic puzzles for a paycheck is sometimes pretty demoralizing.
