Never seen it, though I'm a huge Gene Hackman fan...once in a while, when the fancy strikes, I think about someone like Gene Hackman, and realize that looks aren't everything :-) |
I swear, Gene Hackman squirted out of his mother looking like a middle aged man. Then he became one. Now he's up there and still looks that way. Timeless. |
One of my favorite Mystery Science Theater 3000 episodes was "Space Travelers" with Hackman and (among others) Gregory Peck. It was pretty odd seeing a couple Oscar winners getting the MST3K treatment. |
Wow. I saw that as "Marooned" in the theater when I was a kid. Seems to me the events of Apollo 13 were simultaneously underway in real-space. |
Holy crap. Was that based on the Martin Caidin novel by the same name?

Yup. Even better, see this from the Wiki entry for Marooned (the movie):
| Quote | | In his book "Lost Moon," Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell reported that he had taken his wife, Marilyn, to see "Marooned." This added to her worries in the weeks leading up to the launch of the ill-fated mission. (The 'nightmare' scene in the Ron Howard film Apollo 13 depicts this.) |
