David Barr Kirtley pa The Last Starfighter:
“When I saw it as a child, it seemed big and interesting to me, and now that it sounds like it Galaxy Quest. It’s really stupid – in a fun way. … I think they say it has a federation of 800 countries or something, and they only have 12 pilots to fight in the war? And then they have this wall of satellites to protect them from evil people, and it’s like, ‘No, dudes, we’re in space.’ I mean, it has to be around the world 800. So how many things are we talking about? Perhaps that is why they have only 12 pilots — because of the huge amount of money they spent on that huge wall. ”
Matthew Kressel pa Enemy Mine:
“Every time we fight against another group, we take away their identity so that we can kill them. ‘Oh, they are inhuman beasts!’ When you see them as someone else – in this case they are strangers – but when you look at their life, face to face, and that they are like you, and in some ways better than you, I think they are stronger. you buy. … [The alien] it says, ‘We were here a thousand years before you were born,’ and it is obviously one of the things that both sides think is right, but they all want the same things. So when we got to the end, where Davidge was repeating the old Drac world line, I found that it was moving unexpectedly. ”
Tom Gerencer pa Flight Navigator:

Andrea Kail pa Short Region:
“I still remember the film very well. I remember when I was a teenager thinking it was so much fun. There was one line I hadn’t thought about for years, but quickly Fisher Stevens I said, ‘O my God. I remember saying that with my friend over and over again, ‘because we thought it was funny. It was the line, ‘I’m going to the gym right now.’ And we can say that in India’s bad pronunciation. I thought it was funny at the time, and I see it now and it’s scary and dangerous. We’ve been making all these movies of the 80s – bad, good – and it makes me feel like we’re not just being ignorant, but also experiencing the ghosts of the past: racism, the atrocities that existed. it was very popular in the 80s. “
