I am fairly fascinated when production teams build sets (in mini or otherwise), so I thought this twitter thread was pretty interesting.

I wish the audio was better, it was really hard to hear them and a lot of the questions but it was fun to see them all together.

Man Judd is so damn cerebral he made some fantastic comments and Hall just couldn't stop chiming in but he's really funny. Poor Ally didn't get much to say until 2/3 of the way into it.

Sounds like on the show "You" where audience were rooting for the protagonist to end up with girl he was stalking, even while he kidnapped and murdered her boyfriend, her best friend, and others.

makes me think of the time Barbara Streisand rolled up on Coffee Talk with Linda Richmond when it was Mike Myers, Roseanne, and Madonna. Mike Myers' double take and look of shock is great. Then he and Madonna do Wayne and Garth's "We're not Worthy"

It took until 2025 for Francis Ford Coppola to get an AFI Life Achievement Award? I always assumed he had one decades ago.

Didn't know where to put this so I chose this post. Ana de Armas is doing an AMA on reddit on the 13th. This will go well

The original Top Gun was based on a 1983 article in California Magazine called "Top Guns" by Ehud Yonay.

https://www.topgunbio.com/top-guns-by-ehud-yonay/

You can see the scenes Bruckheimer took directly from the article:

Quote:
"I was just starting to transition from my visual scan aft to forward, and Possum's visual scan from inside to outside, and we're dead," says Yogi, who is 26 years old and has the gangly good looks of a John Travolta, in amazed indignation. That's pilot talk for driving without looking. "It started out good, but it sure got bad in a hurry," Possum says, laughing. He is 25 and more the Ryan O'Neal type, with brown hair and mustache. "You wish you could do it over again," he says, "but in the real world you're not going to get a second chance."

Quote:
It is the Wednesday night happy hour, and the small, noisy room is packed with pumped-up fighter jocks. There is a lively trade at the bar, mostly in light beer, but out of this crowd of 50 or so men no more than 3 are looking at the nearly nude dancers. With raw sex waving right in front of their eyes, these supremely healthy young males are standing around in twos and threes and talking about the hop. You don't even have to listen to catch on - just watch their hands tracing loops and rolls and aerial ambushes with the grace of a ballerina's.


Quote:
Delivering the bell to the WOXOF Room was a great event. It was no ordinary bell. The Wolfpack had brought it for a purpose, to help uphold the club's bylaws, which state that a bell should be rung on two occasions - when someone walks into the club with his hat on, or when a customer finds himself behind the bar. On either occasion, the transgressor picks up the tab for everybody's drinks. Of course, to hang the bell the Wolfpack had to get behind the bar, but what the hell- the going was still first class.

Quote:
And so it was that on a sunny day last February Yogi and Possum strolled out of Hangar One in their flight suits, with their helmets and oxygen masks dangling from their arms and their chutes slung macho-casual over their shoulders. Their plane was ready and waiting, and as they climbed into the cockpit nobody came running up to say that the hop would be delayed. That was a good sign right there. And then the little huffer cart blew air into the engines to get them going, and in seconds their machine was humming like a rocket. They taxied out to- the runway, lined up, and blasted off, and still everything was okay. They banked right and leveled off at 2,000 feet, then climbed higher and headed for the rugged Mojave Desert country around China Lake for the most important Top Gun hop, the culmination of their training. It was a great beginning for a great hop.

Quote:
Yogi and Possum were zipping along, shooting up mountains and down canyons and flying so low that it was hard to keep from staring at the ground, but they had to keep looking for bogeys. Only a few days earlier they had been out there over China Lake, just coming out of a mission, when they turned back and saw two bogeys riding their tail. Yogi watched the one on the left and Possum tried to keep the one on the right in sight, but then Yogi found out that his bogey had just fired a missile. There are a couple of things a pilot can do with a heatseeking missile heading his way, and one of those is to break hard - pull away fast - to foul up the missile's tracking system. Possum was losing his bogey and was just turning his head to look over his right shoulder when suddenly Yogi pulled the stick and headed up in a 7.5-G climb.

Warner Brothers wanted Paul Rudd as Phil and Jack Black as Alan for The Hangover.

When neither wanted to be part of it and Todd Phillips instead cast Bradley Cooper and Zach Galafankis, the studio told Phillips they wanted to cut his salary in half from $6.5 million to $3.25 million and give him a few percentage points on the back end, as they were convinced the film would not be well received.

Phillips's counter was - don't pay me at all and I get 16% of the gross.

The movie made $467 m worldwide.
$467m x .16 = $74.72 million.
