What were you doing in 1969?

I didn't work for Kubrick. *We* worked for Nixon. Suffice to say, they didn't get on. Kubrick insisted on doing about 472 takes of Neil and Buzz planting the flag. He was messing about with just having one of them do it, switching between the two, making sure they got the placement and the depth of the flag just right, before Dick got on the phone and gave him an earbashing. A few anti-Semitic epithets were thrown about, I can tell you. He told Stan in no uncertain terms that if he didn't get his pinko Eastern-European ass into gear by July 20, the Russkies would have already be claiming ownership of the Moon and declaring it part of the Soviet Bloc.

Yes, I remember mostly because my grandmother took two pot lids and clashed them together like cymbals, saying, "We're on the moon!"

Made a man out of me

According to this I'm a doctor of parapsychology!

I was a teenager and it was both an interesting and extreme culture shock at the time.
