  • For posters like this guy who are bagging on the movie, I feel it’s important to describe the importance of the original Top Gun movie to this country. And apologize for the novel, but I’d like to sha

    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

That's not always positive sign, these days.  In fact, there's a few instances when it's all but guaranteed the audiences would hate it, but I'm holding out hope this is one where the critics and audience are on the same page.

Bought tickets yesterday for the first Friday.  Reviews are great because Tom Cruise understood this movie for what it is.  Same reason why Favreau has done so well with the Star Wars series.

Fans want the Greatest Hits.  They don't care about the new album.

Back-to-Back IMAX showings booked for May 27th.

yep

I saw Interstellar at the Bullock.  It was absolutely the best movie watching experience of my life.  The Hans Zimmerman organ music rattled my balls.  No food, lots of room, and I went by myself.  Incredible. 
 

High hopes for TG2!  I’m bringing my kids but I might not sit with them. Too distracting.

yeah that was amazing. 

i saw Dunkirk at the Bullock, it was incredible. 

this one feels like it's going to be the one where the world finally says 'movies are back!' 😁

If you can’t wait to see the new movie, Top Gun: Maverick, you’re not alone. And if you’re also a fan of Applebee’s, there’s a way to bring those two things together. The restaurant chain has partnered with Paramount Pictures to make your next Applebee’s experience fancy like free movie tickets!

According to Chew Boom, if you make a qualifying purchase of $25 or more (dine-in, to-go, delivery, or on the app) at Applebee’s between now and June 12, you can get a free Fandango ticket to see the movie. If you spend $50 or more, you’ll get two free movie tickets.

Definitely not enough to get me to order Applebee's.

100%. I don't need my childhood reimagined ... I want to re-live it.

Watched the original last night. It holds up.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Cannes Premiere Gets 5-Minute Standing Ovation; Tom Cruise Receives Honorary Palme d’Or As Fighter Jets Decorate Sky

It sounds like they took their time and made a sequel worthy of the original, not unlike Duece Bigalow. 

man wouldn't it be something if Maverick finally earns Cruise an Oscar 😄

It’s pretty crazy seeing the darling of the Cannes arthouse film festival is … Top Gun 2.  

If Cruise wins an Oscar for it, his acceptance speech should be, “Wow, really?  After 40 years of movies like Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire … this is all I had to do?  I’ve done my own stunts jumping off the tallest building in the world, hanging on to the outside of an airplane in motion, I had a whole Oscar bait monologue about my dick not working in Born on the Fourth of July … and it turns out all I had to do this whole time was put on a cool jacket and give you sheeple some member berries again!  All of you, LITERALLY FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!”

for real tho.  he could have won for both rain man and a few good men, except his costars were such (positive) scene chewers.

I have tickets to the early viewing on Tuesday at 7pm at the Imax.  How early should we get there for good seats.  An hour?  Or more?

What theater doesn't have reserved seats in this day and age?

the bullock. @Elvis if you’re going to the bullock a good hour or 90 minutes should suffice. but then again, top gun 2 isn’t just any other movie. you may want to allocate a full two hours. and go straight to the very top of the theater, dead center.

Top opening all weekend of all time is Avengers Endgame at $357M.  Calling my shot.  That falls next weekend.

you might be wrong. people of all ages go to and enjoy those marvel movies. my friend’s kid is in high school and I asked him if he was excited about top gun 2 and his reply was “wait what’s top gun again?”  I don’t think the majority of people under 25 know or care about top gun. and tens of millions of people under 25 are fanatical about marvel. so I say nay.

but then again you may be right.

Negative Ghost Rider.

Marvel is a machine and it's not going to be toppled.  Even though their movies suck like said above the get every age group.  Besides I don't think movies are fully back enough for a record breaker.

Back row center procured for Friday night in IMAX. Can’t fucking wait.
Watched the first one in 4K tonight with the home theater cranked.
I’m fucking deaf now.

It was worth it.  I SAID IT WAS WORTH IT!!

Hah just checking this thread again. I'm not against Top Gun it's just too much fun to not mess with the Surly collective when it comes to a cult favorite that I don't really identify with. My dad would disown me if he knew I was talking shit about Top Gun.

I'm guessing this is accurate? 

By the way - for those of you wanting to go to the BB Imax - the screen is big as shit and I wouldn't sit anywhere in the first 5 or 10 rows.

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.

The scene where they run into the museum to dig out the fighters is my favorite moment of that decade. 

You dipshits who "just want to see the hits" are the reason movies suck nowadays, and there's no originality.  If you want the hits, play the original.

Watched the original for probably the 20th time but first time in at least a decade.

I don’t think I’d ever noticed Maverick has a Texas flag on his jacket. It also says Dallas on it.
