That idea just came to me because it kept running through my mind that there is basically no plot in the first one.

That was just a coincidence. Turns out he's just a few days younger than my father (Dad was born on Jan. 31) Thanks, Chris.Quiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12434473473185065992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-35853857240903205832017-03-04T06:16:28.064-06:002017-03-04T06:16:28.064-06:00Hi Quiggy - these are very fun escapist movies - l...Hi Quiggy - these are very fun escapist movies - love all the star cameos.<br /><br />Thanks for saluting the great Burt Reynolds during his birthday month...I met him a couple times down here in South Florida and he is a really charming man and GREAT patron of the arts. Highlight - seeing Farrah Fawcett in Butterflies are Free at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theatre in 1978, when she was filming Cannonball Run with Burt. I knew then that Farrah was more than a phenomenon, but an actress who could hold her own on the live stage. <br /><br />Need to see the Cannonballs again - and need to write about my personal favorite Reynolds film, Smokey and the Bandit - Hal Needham's directing debut, again thanks to Burt!<br />-Chrisangelman66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16471674180789592940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-70444401248077521892017-02-25T12:39:56.572-06:002017-02-25T12:39:56.572-06:00Exactly the sort of escapistness I look for when I...Exactly the sort of escapistness I look for when I'm sick, lol!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722895377719228596.post-43146113485076128612017-02-25T11:45:15.589-06:002017-02-25T11:45:15.589-06:00Leave your brain at the door.

So, I've never had any interest in these movies before, but you've actually made them sound like the sort of thing I'd watch when I have a headcold and just want to be entertained for a couple hours. I may have to see if I can find one online next time I'm sick. I'd watch them just for all those cameos!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
