Goose's son was 4 years old when he died, Top Gun came out in 86. They mention he's been a Captain for 30 years so its probably set near 2020 making his son late 30's, Miles Teller is 35 so you're right pretty laughable. Maybe you can tell us how a navy pilot became an admiral next.

No pilots have ever been promoted to flag rank?  I highly doubt that.

    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

Whose dick did they have to suck to get in there?

I saw it last week. If the theater reaction is an indication of how it will do, it's going to be a big hit. People laughed, clapped, cheered, and cried at all the right moments. McQuarrie's handprints are on the script. Bringing him in for a rewrite was a smart move.

You don't need to be a big fan of Top Gun to enjoy it (I'm not), and I think Top Gun fans will love it. The title is pretty accurate - it really is the Maverick show. The young guns end up getting pushed to the side a bit. There is supposed to be a Hangman/Rooster rivalry but it never really takes off (see what I did there?) The Cruise/Teller bromance works. Some questionable plot machinations, but it's Top Gun so who cares. 

I think it's an exceptional summer popcorn movie.

How about a female F18 pilot, that checks a few boxes.

I just noticed he's in the backseat of an F-14 here... WTF are Tomcats doing in this movie? 

I wonder if it's gonna be like a Battlestar Galactia thing where the old Vipers weren't vulnerable to the new Cylons' ability to shut them down remotely? So like there is some new "bad guy" technology that won't work on old Tomcats? Hmmm.

Calling my shot here. Rooster gets shot down behind enemy lines. Maverick takes the "darkstar" to recon and finds him. Ejects on purpose. They escape in an enemy f-14 (probably Iranian).

yeah Maverick isn’t escaping anything. Maverick is dead when the credits roll.

Isn’t this the plot of iron eagle 2 or 3?

Was thinking more of a Firefox meets behind enemy lines. That was the plot of Iron Eagle 1 thanks to a Hades bomb.

You might be right. Self-sacrifice to save Goose's son or some such. I'll find out June 4.

Jesus I just read the Hades Bomb in Louis Gosset Jr voice, absolutely laughed my ass off.

Do you know him?  I think he was from Texas.

He must be the luckiest man in the world. Because I hear there’s nothing on this earth sexier than a woman you have to salute in the morning. Promote em all I say cause this is true. If you haven’t gotten a blow job from a superior officer, well, you’re just letting the best in life pass you by.




Sorry, wrong movie.

In ASE 2002, I had a couple of fellow students in ROTC.  I was working on my private pilot license. One chick got a fighter slot, probably for being a chick.  5'3 auburn hair, pretty face, and thick in all the right places.  We worked on an  algorithm for the Navy to control flutter during high speed turns by modulating the flaps with computers.  That was a fun project with her.  I kept it in my pants because I was engaged.

huh.  i thought that didn't happen until after the marriage.

I just saw a trailer for this. It looks like it could maybe be less shitty than the original.

Jennifer Connelly’s character (Mav’s love interest) is Penny Benjamin per IMDB. So I guess he never lost that loving feeling for her.
