Don Bluth’s career is one full of defiance, wonders and stubbornness. The Secret of NIMH, An American Tail, The Land Before Time and even Anastasia are all classics, imo but then there’s Thumbelina, Pebble and the Penguin, A Troll in Central Park, Rock-A-Doodle.

Any chance this trial can kill two birds with one stone: Danny Masterson and Scientology?

You lost me at “Cats the musical is a masterpiece.”

And never able to get a passport. I don’t want them coming up to Canada either.

The problem with that is everybody getting extra-loaded before boarding, and/or sneaking booze on. The fights and terrible behavior would increase tenfold.

They already said: Lifetime ban on flying.

There’s definitely a self-selection aspect to all of this. My wife and I are polite and courteous airline passengers. We haven’t been on a plane in well over a year, and it will be a while before we fly again. There are two types of people booking airline travel right now - those who don’t have a choice and those who…

When I made my comment I hadn’t factored in that part, but I guess I just don’t consider that enough because of the severity of the behavior. I mean, a flight attendant is an authority figure on that plane and the rules about behavior on planes exist for the safety of the flight and the other passengers on board. It…

Visitors at work have been extra levels of trash lately and essentially it’s because the sane good people are staying home until things settle.

Yeah, I saw that the perpetrator was going with the “self-defense” argument. Problem is, now that the video is out, it doesn’t really back up her claims.

...you get elected...

I’m wondering if this is related to the rise of extra-shitty restaurant customers. Most reasonable people cut back on eating out and flying, so the people who are left are disproportionately terrible.

I think in many cases they do get banned from the particular airline they were flying on, but I like the idea of an across-the-board, all airlines no-fly list for these d-bags. Enjoy Greyhound!

It’s right wingers losing their damn minds. Being a conservative in 2021 means you are proud to be a jerk, proud to be a liar and you are always the victim in any altercation because freedumb.

Amazing how immediately the assaulter’s friend/sister/mother(???) starts accusing the flight attendant of having “went after her first”, which I believe is also the story they’re telling the press. The video is right fucking there.

Not outrageous. I have to say, I do enjoy getting a nice buzz on when I fly, and I’d be kind of annoyed if I was no longer trusted as an adult to make adult decisions about what I can and can’t drink. But my frustration would be targeted at the assholes who apparently can’t hold their liquor and have spoiled it for…

Ugh to be a flight attendant looking at his/her schedule that morning. You could take bets on WHEN you’d get this passenger, not IF.

Fines? That’s it? People who act like this, and especially anyone who assaults a crew member, should be banned from flying for the rest of their lives.

Is there an international body that regulates/connects etc all licensed flight? Can these people just be straight banned from air travel after an incident like this? Is flight a ‘right’? If you can drive or book an ocean liner spot, have fun, but your ass is never going on a plane ever again? Can we do that? Or, if…
