One of my favorite scenes. This movie showed me that good acting can make up for a seriously stupid script.

This movie is good

I always confuse Ricochet with Raising Cain which I think was kinda similar

i started watching Iron Eagle. it's terrible in a very good cold war-era reagan propaganda way but has some really great aerobatic flying scenes (not the fighter jets, those parts suck big rear end)

anyway it has jan from the office in it. i really like the main character's cessna shirt too

This just reminded me I need to find and read the Forrest Gump sequel novel I saw in a pawnbroker one time.

Edit: The wikipedia article on it suggest Forrest Gump was unhappy about how he was portrayed in the Forrest Gump movie.

I read this book and it was somehow even more boomer brained than the first one and also 10x more insufferable because of the time it was set

e: like Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan join up for Desert Storm, and Forrest singlehandedly captures Saddam Hussein. But he has to let him go because LIBERAL BUREAUCRACY

It's so loving stupid.

Top Gun and Iron Eagle were 2 of my favorite movies of the 80s because of the soundtracks. The fighter jets were a somewhat distant second.

top gun has far superior fighter jet escapades, probably because it was basically co-produced by the navy

iron eagle's dogfight scenes are extremely cheesy and cheap, but in a charming way

there is some genuinely rad irl flying though; whoever flew that cessna aerobat for filming must be a genuine madperson

Kurt Cobain died 30 years ago today

Frances Bean Cobain, his daughter posted:

30 years ago my dad’s life ended. The 2nd & 3rd photo capture the last time we were together while he was still alive. His mom Wendy would often press my hands to her cheeks & say, with a lulling sadness, “you have his hands”. She would breathe them in as if it were her only chance to hold him just a little bit closer, frozen in time. I hope she’s holding his hands wherever they are. In the last 30 years my ideas around loss have been in a continuous state of metamorphosing. The biggest lesson learned through grieving for almost as long as I’ve been conscious, is that it serves a purpose. The duality of life & death, pain & joy, yin & yang, need to exist along side each other or none of this would have any meaning. It is the impermanent nature of human existence which throws us into the depths of our most authentic lives. As It turns out, there is no greater motivation for leaning into loving awareness than knowing everything ends.

I wish I could’ve known my Dad. I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story. I always wondered if he would’ve caught tadpoles with me during the muggy Washington summers, or if he smelled of Camel Lights & strawberry nesquik (his favorites, I’ve been told). But there is also deep wisdom being on an expedited path to understanding how precious life is. He gifted me a lesson in death that can only come through the LIVED experience of losing someone. It’s the gift of knowing for certain, when we love ourselves & those around us with compassion, with openness, with grace, the more meaningful our time here inherently becomes.

Kurt wrote me a letter before I was born. The last line of it reads, “wherever you go or wherever I go, I will always be with you.” He kept this promise because he is present in so many ways. Whether it’s by hearing a song or through the hands we share, in those moments I get to spend a little time with my dad & he feels transcendent. ✨

To anyone who has wondered what it would’ve looked like to live along side the people they have lost, I’m holding you in my thoughts today. The meaning of our grief is the same

I downloaded the whole set about a week before Louis Gossett Jnr. died. I didn't even know there was more after Iron Eagle III, which I always loved as it had the Me-263 which, little me back in the day, knew was a FAKE. It later was discovered by teenage me to be a kickass Burt Rutan CAS contender for replacing the A-10.

Always watched the second one more often, think it was on telly more than the others. The first one I didn't even see until much later and it bugged me how the F-16s go into combat with what I recall was two Sidewinders, three iron bombs and three Mavericks or something along with the cannon, but dismantle most of the enemy continent's military and still fly back fully loaded.

Top Gun naturally a big hit too, and also the helo equivalent: Wings of the Apache/Firebirds. If only for Nic Cage doing what he does best.

watching london town with jonathan rhys davies and im struck how this movie just completely erases the role of black london in seventies era antinazi punk riots to portray british counterculture as just being totally white

it occurs to me that one reason why hamilton style diversity casting annoys the hell out of me is because this trend presumes that discriminated peoples either already are middle class or are aspiring to it the idea of visibility being innately important absent context naturally encourages such depictions that either minimize white supremacy or tokenize it in such a way that majoritarian audiences never think they personally are under attack

it makes me long for the good old days of the beverly hillbillies where the title characters are both oblivious and indifferent to the expectations of bourgeoisie culture because they recognize correctly that true power lies in the ability to rebel against your social milleu not conform to it by which i mean trump figured out how to destroy america by watching the beverly hillbillies

edit uh i meant jonathan rhys meyers sorry

There's entire genres of comedy built around mocking the petit bourgeoise for their obsession with appearances and inability to understand the difference between the symbol and the real thing for a reason

The movie resolves by the money being carried by Hot Air Balloon, I think, to a Smash Mouth concert. All of the interested parties converge on stage without realizing where they are and Smash Mouth, discovering the money, says "oh you must have brought this here to donate it to our children's charity concert!" And that's how the movie resolves, none of them get the money, it all goes to a good cause, and All Star plays

Was thinking about the 1986 Transformers movie, and I know people hate cops more than ever but Prowl catching on fire from the inside and the closeup of the look of horror on his face as smoke and fire started to flow out of his mouth and eye sockets was a far more upsetting death than the Optimus Prime one. I think people just forget that because Instruments of Destruction is rocking so hard over it while it's happening.
