I’m often asked about the pegboard scene in VISION QUEST. That was all me. No stunt doubles or safety measures. I trained for a long time and had to climb it several times to get all the angles. The “trick” is not to over extend, so you’d be pulling up your entire body weight. You have to keep it compact. Arms and elbows tight. 💪🏽 You can support the Full Metal Jacket Diary project by bidding on a signed VQ poster here:

For anyone who’s ever faced a personal challenge, it doesn’t get much better than the 'Six Minutes' speech in VISION QUEST. This scene wasn’t in the 1979 novel by Terry Davis. Elmo's monologue was written specifically for the film by screenwriter Darryl Ponicsan (THE LAST DETAIL, TAPS). Actor J. C. Quinn absolutely knocks it out of the park here. If you’d like to support the Full Metal Jacket Diary project, you can bid on an original poster below. I signed and inscribed it with Elmo’s iconic line: “It ain't the six minutes... it's what happens in that six minutes.”

Louden Swain warms up to “Lunatic Fringe” before taking on Shute. In the original 1979 novel by Terry Davis, the story ends right after Louden runs out and the whistle blows. We never learn the outcome of the match. Win or lose, Louden had accomplished what he set out to do and faced his challenge. #VisionQuest If you’d like to support the Full Metal Jacket Diary project, you can bid on a signed 1985 vinyl soundtrack album here:

The time I told Conan O'Brien about Oliver Reed’s special tattoo.

My new documentary short, THE INVISIBLE ENEMY, screens this Friday and Saturday at the Santa Fe Film Festival. The film shines a light on cancer-stricken veterans who were exposed to lethal radiation while working at the world's largest nuclear test site. But these service men and women are ineligible for insurance because their exercises were “top-secret" and the U.S. government continues to conceal official records of their ever having been there.
