I saw this movie MANY years ago, but don’t remember much about it. I suspect I was too young (just out of college) to really get it. I love Albert Brooks, though, so I’m looking forward to watching it again now that I’m older.

Great movie. Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty are amazing as is Gary Marshal. The scene when the Albert Brooks character asked Marshal, the casino manager for his money back was hilarious.
When you did your reaction to Airplane every time you asked where you might have seen Julie Hagerty I yelled back “Lost in America.” But it seems you hadn’t yet seen “Lost in America”.
I hope on your road trip with your mother and stepfather that you didn’t discover any gambling addictions. 😬

Is there any chance that’s where the idea may have possibly, even in some infinitesimally slight unconscious way, sort of come from?

Great watch. I’ve always found it funny that this movie actually happened 6 years before Terminator 2. And at no point in terminator 1 does the terminator pretend to be a motorcycle cop. :)

I was going to make the joke “Albert Brooks had great chemistry with Julia Hagerty in this, I would liked to have seen him in a movie after this one with…” but that could be a spoiler.

Stellar film and stellar reaction. I think i'll watch it yet again (fourth time this week!). :)

Haven’t even heard of this one, I’ll have to check it out. I hope you will be able to finish your documentary soon. I can’t wait to see it.

What the hell is going on here? Magic, now this? This movie rules the wasteland and should be required reacting.
