...two posts because two movies?
I believe that Top Gun 2 is about drone warfare. The dups are pretty apropos, because if you don't get it right the first time, then... meh... whoops.
this time
Already got that covered.
I forgot about that. Good call
Top Car.
Dear God, no.
Don't you mean Top Gun 3?
For the bar scene where the whole gang particiaptes in Gangnam Style to charm the girl.
Slider, {sniff} you stink!
Is it gonna be Maverick teaching a bunch of snot-nosed drone pilots?
For any Paul Newman fans, this is the equivalent of The Color of Money to The Hustler. Coincidentally, The Color of Money co-starred none other than Tom Cruise.
Newman also finally won best actor for his role in Color of Money despite having many better performances over the years. It was more like his lifetime achievement award. I kind of doubt Cruise will get the same treatment here.
It was a solid movie, but yeah, definitely a career award for a man who should have already had a few.
Newman's best performance was in The Verdict, but he lost Best Actor to Ben Kingsley in Gandhi. And that's tough to argue with.
Yeah I mean maybe. The thing is just that both The Hustler and Color of Money are pretty good movies even if the dialogue now feels dated. And you can set a people/pool hall movie in any era. What made Top Gun great was its unabashed 80s-ness, I don't even know how to describe that but it was as 80s as it gets. I'm not sure how that translates to this time. Could still be a good movie. But not the same. The fact i was a ~10 year old kid living my childhood during 80s when Top Gun came out may be making me very biased.
wearing the "Vince" T-shirt while playing pool to Werewolves of London is a classic scene.
He has jumped the shark.
Never watched the first one all the way through...
Is Goose reprising his role in the new one?
I should probably let you in on what happens near the end of that movie. SPOILER ALERT, Goose is Maverick's father.
More like he jumped the couch. I'm still disappointed from being a kid and realizing that Top Gun was just a chick flick disguised as an action film. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
You're a slacker Mav, just like your old man!
That's brilliant!
Could Tom Cruise be any more obviously NOT actually riding a motorcycle?
No. He could not.
His legs aren't long enough to touch the pegs.
Val Kilmer is going to have to lose a shit ton of weight.
thanks to his throat cancer.
I think . . . up next?
Days of Thunder 2!!
Iceman, the Later Years....

This is what I call a target-rich environment.
Level Seven Operating Thetan!
For fucks sake.... As a military pilot, the first one was hard enough to take.
YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR WINGMAN IN A DOGFIGHT PEOPLE.
You never leave your wingman
Yeah I'm gonna have to go with Darker Blue on this one..
I know you're going to say "it's just a movie" and "blah blab blah I actually did this stuff" but I mean, cmon man, you never leave your wingman. That's just obvious, like wearing bomber jackets in Southern California. Or being in a 4g inverted dive with a MiG-28. And playing volleyball.
But Mig28s DON'T EXI....
Oh, nevermind...
Duh... of course they exist. We have nothing like them in our arsenal. Damn Ruskies.
You're absolutely right...although they do look a little like the F-5...
Well, we can't shoot this son of a bitch; may as well have a little fun with him...
Is this your idea of fun, Mav?
I mean, on one hand we have Tom Cruise who is an ACTUAL fighter pilot. On the other hand, just some random internet guy trying to give his opinion.
I think you can show yourself out, right?
Well, shoot.... I feel somewhat ashamed now.
I'm sorry, Tom. You the man. Say hi to Katie for me.
Too soon?
I sense you've lost that loving feeling
It's only happened to me twice.
The first time, it wasn't pretty.
But this time is looking good so far...
Don't think Val Kilmer will fit into a cockpit again
Something something danger zone
an animated Archer-esque Top Gun 2 could work.
Val Kilmer playing volleyball shirtless isn't going to be nearly as popular with the ladies this time, I predict.
