Airplane … but not quite

 

In a slight time bind here at 1541 … usually there’s a film and I’ve two films ready to go, “A” films too but time, time … given that there’s a long backlog of political for later until I run out of steam. What to do?

Ideally, I need a short of 30 mins feature or episode of something … looked about and found this below … er, not such a good idea, shall explain why. So, kept looking around, but that was using another 20 mins. Run what I have?

But, and this is a big butt, the reactor to the movie has no idea how to do a reaction vid. It’s all a huge circular frame of herself which keeps moving around the small screen, cutting off the action. Ok, yes, she’s cute but if you wanted to see any of the film itself within 35 mins or so … well let’s just say it’s fraught (with sommit, DAD) … vlogger she ain’t.

However, and this is a big however … I started watching Miss Annoying and then started to remember … she really was sweetly naive … and the naive tend to be literal, like babies. Now she’s either putting it on for effect or she really is back in childhood, sheltered upbringing, whatever.

And some of this movie is a bit risque. At one point, she says, “He’s so literal.” Er … that’s Airplane’s humour, love … that’s what they are … literal. But as it goes on and on, she really is literal herself and therein is the humour in this reaction vid … in her, not in Airplane itself. She loses punchlines all over the place. So:

Just some Sunday jazz

 

Following on from yesterday’s “music”, Steely Dan also covered a Duke Ellington/Bubber Miley number which last time posted did not move our chaps all that much … of course, I might be entirely wrong. 😎

I might also have this quite wrong (😎) but judging by comments over some years, our chaps are not so crazy for the slower numbers … sorry me, here’s a slower number…

Let’s speed things up a bit to finish today’s offerings …

By the way, our Toodles has been on Beale Street. Think they were there for the dining.

Tramvai “Zhelaniye”

A message I dropped under a snowscene in Russia was:

“Irini … let us enjoy our Tramvai “Zhelaniye” this Sunday.”


But what can the expression mean?


Transliterated, it means “tram of dreams”, “of wishes, hopes”, not so much “of desire”. I feel that about trams (or trolleybuses, streetcars) as a mode of transport … forever rattling and squeaking with reassurance through leafy tunnels or through nights of promise.

Trains are wunnerful too in their own way, when not at the mercy of stalkers or thugs (attackers of Iryna, Charles Bronson) but for me, the soul is stirred each time I’ve jumped on a tram, which seems also to be the case with Chris Isaak and drummer:

And then there is Moosh @mongsley:


And so to today’s main feature:

Two Oz friends might also be interested, though they’re from Syd-en-ai … @KobieThatcher @ellymelly .

Don’t wish to ruin the post and bring you down, dear reader, but did you notice the demographics throughout?

By the way, Chris Isaak makes reference to the N8 tram and “Chapel”. This is the tram connecting Chapel Street, a more upmarket inner-city shopping street … boutiques etc. … with the city centre … I had a place nearby for a few years … lovely route to town.
