Crocodiles Galore!

Guys, I just had to say this: on my JAL flight, they showed a gross movie. This is my second gross movie on JAL. How can we get airlines to show better class of movies, before we all make use of our airline bags.

One way to take care of those problems is not to fly.

If you pay for first/business class then you get a choice of movies.

Or, you could rent a dvd player and movie at the airport (at least for domestic flights.)

All I do on aircraft is perspire and prepare for the worst everytime the engine makes a different sound or we hit even minor turbulance.

Or you could fly Singapore Airlines. They have individual screens even in economy for long hual flights. You have some choice over movies you watch or even play arcade games on these personal consoles.

you're right guys, but I remember hearing the same complaint about airline movies, they tend to be synonomous with air sickness. why don't they show light hearted comics? or Nothing at all. i already have new fencing adversaries. it's great.

well, you're not missing much. For example, you're missing out on things like the incredibly painful sensation of your ears trying to pop as you adjust to the altitude, the fact that the peanuts bags (which are crackers now) are too small, being quiet is always a pain, oh, and you're incredibly nervous from the second you leave the ground til the second you arrive.

What good things are you missing, though?

The awesome scenery as you land and take off.

Now, Now, Zelda. You should respect the air stewards for the job they do, not belittle them by complimenting their appearance.
