    The people who were upset when I wore an SS uniform to a Schindler’s List screening in 1993 owe me an apology.

  • It's perfectly okay for you to think this movie was "mediocre". You said it yourself: you were born in the 80's, which means it's impossible for you to understand the context of the original, and ther

Don't care how shitty it is.  I'm in.

It's got to be better than any Transformers or Fast & Furious spinoff movie right..? So that's a plus in my book...

True but you could do what I do, skip all those shit movies, stay home and watch reruns of Alice 

That dude in the tower must have gotten butts after all.  Mav is only an O-6 after like 35 years in the Navy even after smoking a bunch of godless commies.

Anyone got a name of that truck driving school? I'm gonna pass it on to Goose.

It'd be perfect if there was a subplot around gooses son actually being like a bad ass bend the rules truck driver.

it’s going to be so, so awesome.  iceman and mav after over three decades.  I can’t believe it’s real.

Faltermeyer and Loggins are in for music too.  Fucking.  Awesome.

does he have a kid with his ex-wife who goes with him to arm wrestling tournaments?

I bet Goose’s widow has had some horrible plastic surgery.

still getting hammered and hangin out by the piano at the top gun bars. 

I work on a Navy base in San Diego, and they were filming crazy low altitude take offs over the harbor last week. Super bad ass. Also, spoiler alert, I can confirm with certainty that there will be a motorcycle ride alongside an active runway.

In.

El Rey channel on weekday mornings: 2 hours of The Incredible Hulk, 2 hours of The A-Team, 2 hours of Quantum Leap.

When I work from home, my morning TV watching is set.

That volleyball scene will be sexy

I’m shocked.  I thought for sure it would be an all star cast of mediocre actresses. 

Jebus ... Kilmer had throat cancer? fuuuck.

Isn't TOPGUN in Nevada now?

I think that's the Air Force version. Red Flag.

AF has it at Henderson outside LV; USN has it at Fallon outside Reno.

I imagine they are in San Diego again.  Watching Mav and Iceman pick-up middle aged divorcees in a shady Reno casino bar probably has less appeal than doing it in San Diego.

If he's still a TOPGUN instructor, no way he would have a star.

Viper was only an O-5 and he was was in for quite a bit

Well we know he was in Nam on the Oriskany, but in 1986 that could really just be getting him around "normal" retirement time, depending on when he was there and all that (65-73 is when wiki says Oriskany was there).

 

Mav is (I think), pushing the mandatory retirement time for an O-6, although he could have gotten out for a while and flown for an airline like Iceman did. NBC made a short "Where are they now" type documentary that showed what LT Kasansky had been up to after getting out of the Navy the first time.

And Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis have merged into one being.

Who's he?

You wanted to know who the best is? That’s him. Ice Cream Man. He eats ice cream ice cold. Lots of it.

Takes your breath away

I would have gone with “appetite” or “libido”

If they were smart, they’d make the exact same movie but tom cruise is viper, Kilmer is jester, and some pretty boy like Channing Tatum is maverick.

Red Flag does not equal Top Gun

What’s ole Wolfman up to nowadays?  Doesn’t he still live in Austin?
That's classified. (I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.)

I'm pretty sure she'd break the bathroom sink if she hopped up on it now. 

 

 

 

 

I think I need to get into Scientology, everyone has aged except Cruise. WTF?

Yep.  Miramar closed as a Navy base and was handed over to the USMC.  Was NAS Miramar, now MCAS Miramar. 

This shit was being shot at North Island (Coronado Island) San Diego.   Let's face it...Naval  Aviation is sexier when there's ocean involved.

I could actually see Channing Tatum making a fun movie out of it. Throw in Aubrey Plaza in there somewhere and make it a fun summer movie. Preferably one where she gets naked

Didn’t think that needed spelling out.

Pretty sure our naval dogfighter is the Super Hornet.

But regardless, this movie will be a bad movie.  NO WAY they can capture lightning in a bottle like the original.
