Trains, Planes and Automobiles

So just because it's 1980s doesn't mean I will enjoy it This was okay. I am glad I have seen it. I don't think I will rewatch it You could point out that the whole conceit of the film, hangs on the fact that an executive could not let a creative, go home an hour early I note that Steve Martin wears a hat, and a lot of the NYC crowd does too Oh Kevin Bacon is in this movie. Who is the Kevin Bacon, for today's audience I know he is supposed to grow on you, but I found John Candy's character terrifying He drives irresponsibly, the scene where he is dancing to the mess arround horrified me. There is a lot of smoking in public places including eateries. I liked the scene where- Martin loses it, and swears at the car rental employee. It is actually odd to hear Martin swear. I note today that walking over a runway causes an incident today Public phones are still a thing, here One scene I note. Candy sells shower rings, as a means of making a quick money- saying they are Czech ivory and to a bunch of tweens saying they make them look older. Air Travel is no more fun today I did like the train sequence. Seeing the heartland-made me nostalgic, but I suspect it was filmed in Canada Not bad, but not for me
