THREAD. I have decided to tell my story about meeting John Milius this weekend at Silicon Valley Comic Con, because I think it’s too good not to share with the widest audience I have. It is a story I will be telling until the day I die. Strap in for this one. (1/???) If you follow me you probably know who John Milius is. In case you don’t, he is one of the great legends of American cinema. He wrote Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn, he wrote and directed Conan the Barbarian. He also famously wrote the USS Indianapolis Speech from Jaws. A legend.
