I was just reading the year-end _Entertainment Weekly_, which mentioned Jodie Foster, an actress I like a lot. I am, however, never going to see the movie she was in this year, **Flight Plan** (she and daughter board jumbo jet; daughter disappears … _or does she_ mwah hah hah hah).

Would someone who’s seen it be kind enough to spoiler the twist for me, pls.? TIA.

I should have known there’d be such a site.

Thanks for the link.

Not a problem.

And now, due to the magic of technology, I don’t have to worry about seeing the movies I missed. I can talk about them like I have already seen them.

The bad guys are part of the flight crew. They hide explosives in Jodie Foster’s husband’s casket, and kidnap the girl to make Jodie look like the crazy one. I think they plan on ransoming the plane while it’s in the air.

Though I could be wrong about that, as I haven’t seen the movie.

Superdude, I think he was joking. But if not, could you summarize your summary? I’m even LAZIER.

Sure, until you run into one of their copyright traps, and the next thing you know you’re at some cocktail party nattering away about the Freudian symbolism of “Rosebud” being a BB gun that no one would buy for young Citizen Kane 'cause it would “put his eye out”.

And here I thought that “Rosebud” was a reference to William Randolph Hearts’ vagina.
