Re inflight movies - there's a great piece by Nitin Govil on this topic. Here are the details:<div><br></div><div>Govil, Nitin. 2004. "Something spatial in the air: in-flight entertainment and the topographies of modern air travel." In MediaSpace: Place, scale and culture in a media age, edited by N. Couldry and A. McCarthy.

That's interesting, I actually just got off the plane at Narita two hours ago, and I did watch PANDEMIC during the flight, surrounded by people wearing masks (the flight was with JAL). I did wonder why JAL didn't take it out of its program.<br>
<br>
Does anyone, by the way, know of research regarding films shown on airplanes? The "inflight film" seems a somewhat under-researched genre.<br>
