The quote is a direct reference to that scene in ToD, where Indy does fly the plane for a bit (and manages to avoid crashing into a mountaintop) but definitely doesn’t land it.

Never forget:

You can still read Vulture if you use incognito mode (or the equivalent depending on browser). You have to close it and reopen for each article, which is tedious - I usually open the main page in the regular browser, then open the individual articles in incognito mode one at a time, but the one article limit resets…

I love all the talent that will be involved in the new Gremlins animated show. What I don’t like it’s that it’s set in Shanghai, because “Mogwai” is very specifically a Cantonese word (means Devil or Demon).

Very true! I've got my own go-tos in that respect, but it does take time.

Stephen Chow already cornered the Chinese mermaid market back in 2016. It’s batshit crazy, but what a film! 

Yep, me too (I live in Vietnam) 

No one knows what it’s like...

The whole roller rink episode was set up as the guys telling the story of rhwie past. So it’s all from their story, with all its embellishments, exaggerations, and inaccuracies. It even fades back to them in the end just after telling it, and they’ve never been the most reliable people. So this was just them…
