Somehow I didn't watch Airplane! Until I was an adult but I loooooved Naked Gun and other similar spoof movies (I used to be able to recite the Spaceballs movie from memory for the most part, always paired Naked Gun type comedy with Mel Brooks in my head) growing up. So it's sad that a director that managed to film such hilarious scenes that are by much artistic merit silly and stupid. I love silly and stupid so I'm sadder today. I hope he can direct some being in the afterlife to perform some comedy.
Always remember even if it's stupid and makes you laugh, at least it made you laugh and few things are better than a good laugh.
