Behind you!
When I see him in a serious role from his earlier career (the original "Poseidon Adventure, " for instance), I keep waiting for the zinger one-liners which never arrive.

And never again will. Rest easy, Mr. Nielson--you made us laugh until we cried.

Maryn, who'll watch Airplane again real soon

Vale. Also, an important clarification about the recent passing of Mr. Nielsen.

:ROFL: A little smile amongst the gloom - certainly he would have wanted that.

While I hate to be "That Guy," it's Nielsen.

Anyway:

Frank: It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girl dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Jane: Goodyear?

Frank: No, the worst.

Awesome.

I loved his movies so much I almost cried when I read about his passing, but then I started remembering his movies and burst out laughing instead.
