George Kennedy Travel Advisory?: If you see George at the passenger terminal - just walk away. Why? Airport 70 (and 75, 77, 79, and 80), Death on the Nile, Death Ship. No passenger terminal in Earthquake but certainly it deserves mention.
Ah disaster movies.
Give me THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE (the greatest story ever told) and I, for one, am thrilled. Thrilled to the core. Fie on you people who dismiss disaster movies as meaningless fluff. Hey! I love fluff. Keep your proverbs and moving meaningful subplots. Away with your Henry James and Shakespeare. Let me have my vulgar fun. Any one of the Airport movies (is that Karen Black? I'll catch a later flight, thanks), Towering Inferno (really tall relatively new buildings after normal work hours - bad)- even Krakatoa, East of Java (though of course, Krakatoa is WEST of Java - why quibble) can make my whole weekend.
And let's not forget the blissful time not long ago when we could see Dante's Peak AND Volcano within mere weeks of each other. Ah, happiness. Few things make me happier than watching stuff blow up, burn up, get washed away or sink. If you throw in Pierce Brosnan, all the better. If you told me that my geologist would look like that, I'd live near a volcano too.
