Notes made while watching The Right Stuff yesterday evening (may be annotated later):
how could you not want to be a pilot?
jeff goldblum and harry shearer
did Sam Shepherd as Chuck Yeager define for me at a young age what a man should be? A model I've conspicuously failed to live up to.
testing - centrifugal chimp.
nostalgia for a past when the future meant something.
whatever happened to dennis quaid? breaking away then the right stuff then inner space. a tragedy. He was coming on like a young jack nicholson
lance henrikson!
fred ward!
”hey, did you hear that? we're competing with archie and jughead.”
you yearn for yeager. you don't understand where he's gone. you're bereft once the selection process starts.
funnier than i remembered - "our germans are better than their germans".
that little suckass, John Glenn. "Forget John Glenn, I want Chuck Yeager for President."
about three steps from tears.
the masturbating in cups confused me as a child.
man, the fucking risks involved.
alan motherfucking shepherd.
Yeah, fuck you NASA! Fuck you LBJ (good performance, btw) - no one fucks with the Mercury boys!
no! not a terrible "wisdom of aborigines" bit! this isn't the doors!
john glen's not such a bad sort.
Alan shepherd - walks on the moon.
Where's the right stuff 2? Of course Scott Glen. Proper myths. Proper.
Fucking-A Bubba.
And outside in London I can’t see one star.
