One of the fun things of being a writer is you get to wordsmith fresh and brand new words and uses. To paraphrase Stephen King, if you can describe it maybe you’re in the wrong business.
So, with the proliferation of back of the seat monitors and DVD players in cars, what do you call that when you’re following such an equipped car and can make out what video their watching (one van had a very large screen the other day).
In-flight movie. As in, “Hey, look, I wonder what’s on the in-flight movie.”
Usually it’s a children’s movie or feature. Although I have been able to identify a number of them, including “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” But could I get a good action flick every now and then? Like one of the Die Hard or Lethal Weapons?

Hey Steve, I see Matt Mitchell's site is off line. If you hear what his new URL is drop me a post or an email. ken.mcconnell @ gmail.com. I think he was going to move the whole thing and get a new domain.
Thanks!
YES! In-flight movie! That's perfect.
...My question is, do you really NEED to plug your kids in for a 10 minute trip to the store?
Ken, moved it up the main page.
Greeny, glad you liked it. And they only need to plug kids in to keep the kids quiet. It's the perfect accessory to the kids of the generation "Here we are, now entertain us."
