All this discussion of the 1980s and I am down a Hunt For Red October wormhole on youtube!
GIVE ME A PING VASILI
Another fave quote: "My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month."
This movie made me realize that I LOVE watching competent people doing their jobs. Sean Connery and Scott Glenn playing submarine captains and commanders is (faints) awesome
Just watched Hunt For Red October (one of my fave movies) and this is a fave scene (along with: "Give me a ping, Vasili. One ping only, please."
I saved up more than $1000 for my first desktop PC in 1992. That is the equivalent of over $2400 today 😳
