The Wrong Day
A little birdie told me this morning that it was the 30th anniversary of the movie "Top Gun." The birdie was wrong, but I only figured that out after I had started my celebration. The actual 30th anniversary was last year on May 16. Holy shit! I have loved this movie for 3/4 of my life. There are quite a few things I didn't know about the movie. Apparently, the movie studio worked with The Pentagon who charged them 1.8 million dollars to use their jets and air craft carriers. That was considered a bargain, but the Pentagon demanded script approval to make sure that they were portrayed in a positive light. God, Meg Ryan is cute! Yes, I'm watching the movie while I'm writing this. Kelly McGillis is 3 inches taller than Tom Cruise, and Paramount didn't like this, so Kelly acted in her sock feet whenever necessary and Tom wore heeled cowboy boots to help make up the difference. I also found it very interesting that they wanted to us...
