Let's face it, a movie can only give you so much, and lovin' ain't one of them.<br /><br />It's a long movie, but excellent viewage if you like this type of movie. I've seen it a couple of times, but not recently. I really enjoyed it, not for the syfy value, but because it brought history to life so much better than the dull text books in school did.<br /><br />I think you would enjoy Race to Space (family fun movie) or The Right Stuff - it was so funny, some of the things they endured and had to do, but some parts were emotionally wrenching too. I originally watched it to gain information about Annie Glenn and discovered I was missing a wonderful movie.<br /><br />((hugs))<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-86189530151671576902009-07-22T00:47:08.790-05:002009-07-22T00:47:08.790-05:00Hi Barbara!

And it all really happened. I love the real life depiction of the astronaut's lives and families, and the prevention of the catastrophe that almost happened. The space program probably would not have survived two, not in it's infancy.<br /><br />Tom Hanks created an imaginative piece in From Here to the Moon as well (HBO again).<br /><br />Thanks for all your great pics Barbara, we really enjoyed them!<br /><br />((hugs))<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-42585201719000170762009-07-22T00:45:34.353-05:002009-07-22T00:45:34.353-05:00HiDottie,

He was fantastic. Barbara Hersey was great as his wife.<br /><br />You know, I was such a syfy fan as a child, I lived for this stuff, and couldn't understand why people weren't more interested. I imagined all the future space trips to come, life on the Moon, missions to Mars, flying cars.... still waiting for it all to happen.<br />Sadly, still beyond our tech means.<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-32897859760022416242009-07-21T22:19:10.892-05:002009-07-21T22:19:10.892-05:00Hi Amy!

After I saw it the time first, I knew it was one of the feel good movies that I'd have to watch again. HBO had it on again in the line up for the anniversay of the Lunar Landing.<br /><br />Here's a bit of trivia I haven't shared too often. The first time I watched The Right Stuff, in it's entirety, was for a college class in my major, Speech Pathology. I studied Annie Glenn's stuttering disability. She has amazing coping abilities that have developed over lifetime. I am in awe of her. Stuttering is one of the disabilities that is almost impossible to overcome. It can remain throughout the person's lifetime. <br /><br />Now, I have watched The Right Stuff too many times to count!<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900661442916703820.post-89384875550052759202009-07-21T18:36:23.676-05:002009-07-21T18:36:23.676-05:00Dottie!!
