This Friday is movie night at the North Carolina Museum of Art.

For this week, the classic movie Airplane! will be shown.

In case you haven’t seen it, Airplane! is the stupidly funny Abrahams and Zucker brothers movie that just happens to star two characters named “Elaine” and “Kramer” and is directed by someone named “Jerry”, yet it’s a total coincidence that it happens to shrare three of the four names (in one way or another) of the characters in Seinfeld. The movie has nothing to do with four friends up in New York City, but it is a comedy. It does, however, have everything to do with being hilarious and goes a long way to spoof not only air travel but several other genres along the way.

It will be fun to see the movies at the art museum again. The museum’s movie events last year were great.
