Rocket Launch
The guys have been launching rockets ever since they were, well, boys. I’ve watched Daryl and Matthew’s rockets take off vertically, then as if controlled by some unseen force, change directions and crash into the tree they were hiding behind. In this movie they pause while a plane flies overhead and you think how silly. And then you watch the missile launch and you think oh my god.
Holy shit, indeed! Great launch. I am envious.

Can’t think when I last launched one of those. I’d assume they’ve gotten better with time, too, but I do recall the rush. What, no parachute? Glad you spared the plane …

She’s pinning you down, Goose. “Jen” just might be an alias for the local constabulary.

Quick, hide the car … or at least the plates.

The shadow of the plane crosses the field in the movie. It was low. I can just imagine the pilot looking at the rocket flying up at him, or more likely, past him, if they hadn’t waited. What a blast!

No, I want to know so I can be there next time. I’ll bring the band aids!
