Top Gun sequel: Maverick

[Sweet FA]

Looks awesome I'm all in for this.

No. It looks indescribably shit.

I'm in.

 

[Gromit]

The aerial cinematography looks good from that trailer. I'm in just for that.
May actually go to a cinema and pay.

 

[mwgdrwg]

Yeah the fighter jet shots look incredible, might watch it just for that.

 

[T & P]

Looks exactly what I expected (and hoped) it would. I'm definitely in

 

[felixthecat]

I'm far more excited by this than I should be

I reckon Goose washes up on a beach somewhere a la Harold Bishop.

*waves break on a beach of raw emotion*
Goose: I lived the way of the Air Force..
*crash*
*pan to scuttling crab*
Goose: ...but I'm an army man now
Maverick: Goose! The Army write checks that the Government Accountability Office won't cash
Goose: It's where I found... salvation.
Maverick: *blank look*
Goose: I mean I'm in the Salvation Army.
Maverick: You ejected out of a plane in 1986, but the real ejection was out of my heart, forever
Goose: *erotic tuba solo*

I forgot all about this Great Post.

I've got an ending now too.

They kiss, it's very modern, and they get in their jet, and they go so fast with such brooding intensity that they end up back at the Revolutionary War of 1775, join forces with the beleaguered US Navy aviators, and ultimately fire an AGM-65 Maverick (no relation) at King Henry VIII, killing him instantly and freeing all America from his diabolical reign.

 

[Badgers]

Will watch it
Not paying for cinema
It will be shit but I will enjoy it

might be good if tongue is in cheek, but I don't think I've ever seen cruise take the piss out of himself/that era/etc before.

Cruise often takes the piss out of himself - Magnolia, Mission Impossible... tbh you rarely see him in something that isn't a bit tongue in cheek.

I disagree. I think Cruise takes himself very seriously indeed. That's why he's so ridiculous

The films I quoted suggest otherwise. Which ones do you think show he takes himself very seriously?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Looks awesome I'm all in for this.

Hey, do you remember the volleyball scene? How about the karaoke scene? That scene with the bike? And all the planes? It's nice to remember stuff, isn't it?

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Is Jon Hamm playing Tom Cruise's son?

 

[ferrelhadley]

Tomcat in the closing shot.
Jesus I thought they binned them cause they kept blowing up.

 

[mauvais]

I never knew until today that original Top Gun's Goose was Dr. Mark Greene from ER.

 

[Idris2002]

Well.

 

[DownwardDog]

It was more the 50:1 maintenance to flight hours ratio.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Looks awesome I'm all in for this.

"Gotta go fast!"

 

[not-bono-ever]

it looks great.

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Back when Time Out (and then City Limits) were quite 'right on' we used to scour the film criticisms for one that said something like 'trite, crude and exploiting the lowest common denominator of things that go bang and go fast, with no attempt to present rounded characters or social issues, 0 stars' and go and see that, rather than a 4 hour documentary about Newfoundland fishing communities at the ICA, 'Moving. 5 stars'

I wonder what the ratio for the Iranian ones is?

You've seen The Final Countdown...

Sounds more like Empire magazine tbh.

Long before Empire magazine. But similar.

 

[Ming]

I was drunk and in the back of a taxi once and apparently said to the driver ‘I feel the need the need for speed’. But it probably was closer to ‘iiinneeeeedttheeespppeeelll’.

 

[Gromit]

Maverick goes plane happy.
Callsign Charlie shoots him.

 

[krtek a houby]

I disagree. I think Cruise takes himself very seriously indeed. That's why he's so ridiculous

Seriously, though. Where's Kelly McGillis?

 

[JuanTwoThree]

Ms McGillis is 62 and looks very nice

 

[Gromit]

Why does she have three, no wait four, four arms now?

 

[Rivendelboy]

I feel the need....the need for speed related homoeroticism and violent patriotic messaging

 

[Rivendelboy]

Looks awesome I'm all in for this.

Saudi not buying enough guns?
