Then he gets the name "Brick" Wilson?? Wow. Aside from the obvious Anchorman/ Steve Carell references (which probably don't get broken out much in the Navy) this is awesome. If you're a Navy aviator, it's like Top Gun
every single day.
Cool nicknames, jet fighters, inverted dives,
homoerotic volleyball
... the fun never ends.

Don't forget chasing a 356 Speedster replica on your Kawasaki GPZ900R and then having a sex scene with Kelly McGillis. That's living.

I hope he paints a trident on the nose for each kill he gets.

Wish Roger Ebert were still alive and healthy. Someone needed to break this movie down scene-by-scene. Along with friends, we started to deconstruct those very three events (volleyball-> motorcycle-> sex with McGillis) and taken in sequence, and literally, they're kind of horrifying.
Playing volleyball in jeans in the blazing sun and sand with baby oil all over your sweatiness. Immediately after: don fleece-lined leather jacket and hit the road (and we all know that wearing leather and riding never makes you
even hotter,
no). Finally arrive at straight-laced (and bathed) teacher's home, proceed to seduce her. Yeah, apparently she had lost her sense of smell in a tragic skiing accident.

To be fair, he did ask to take a shower.

DAMN, you know that movie! I've owned it for years and have no idea about some of this stuff.
So, you wanna play some volleyball?

There's too much paperwork for it to be like Top Gun .

Admittedly it is my favorite movie of all time, I think I was 8 when I first saw it. So I didn't really appreciate notice the homoerotic bits until I was much older.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

We'll need those TPS reports by 1600, Brick.
Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something? I couldn't hear you over ALL THIS AWESOME SHIT!!

[discharged]
Is it honorable?
No.

What amazed me as I was getting older was realizing not only that Ridley Scott created some of my favorite pictures ever with Alien, Blade Runner, Gladiator, etc. but that his own brother Tony directed goofball action stuff like Top Gun and The Last Boy Scout and the completely underrated and largely forgotten True Romance.
I wondered "what made two boys from England some of America's best movie makers?"

You know what is the saddest, most pathetic and also somewhat tiring and annoying thing to hear? People's followup explanation about their general discharge.
Dude: at that point,
just don't cite your service
. If it doesn't begin or end with "honorably discharged," nobody cares and all the excuses in the world sound about as lame as the
next most annoying explanations ever:

Ughh. I want to join Naval Aviation, but a mild sleep apnea is holding me back. It's killing me.

I always wonder how TWO people from the same family like that end up with some great jobs. Sort of like brothers who are both NFL coaches. It's a one in a (multi)million shot to make it into a career like that and be successful, and you have sibling who both make it! Crazy.

Of course the Manning family takes that to the next level entirely.

Except for that 3rd brother. Poor bastard.
Wait, he's apparently a partner at an energy firm . Son of a bitch.
