“Well, I’ll tell ya. I seen a lot of ‘em & most of ‘em are just pictures on a wall. But there was one film I once saw which I think truly did have the right …

@Impertinenzija Great questions, to which only the last one has a very obvious answer 🤪 As for the written works, it varies from day to day and book to book, but Iain M Banks is very high up there 🙇♂️ And perhaps not hard sci-fi, but I have a lot of time for David Mitchell as well. Ann Leckie writes great stuff too … I could go on & on … 🙂
Just in case there are young folk here who haven’t seen The Right Stuff, the dialogue is an adaptation of Gordo Cooper’s riff on being asked who was the best pilot he ever saw, the reply being “You’re looking at him.”
It’s a running joke in the film, but near the end, he goes off track & starts talking about Chuck Yeager without actually naming him.
I mean, I love The Right Stuff, but there is one space film that’s better, the Yeager to its Cooper.
