Cruise is a short li’l feller.
I’ll take Russell Crowe or Gerald Butler.
If I still went to the movies that is.

The filmmakers should edit it back in somewhere just to mess with them.

We all get old. Quite right but you don’t have to revel in it like her. It takes discipline and hard work to stay young at heart and healthy. McGillisis t interested. Clearly

Read Prodigal Soldiers by James Kitfield if you are interested in the genesis of the AF's Top Gun training and the rebuilding of the military after Vietnam. I just read it. that and several biographies of generals who effected the changes all end with the Gulf War which was fought totally differently. Alas we slid back into the VN syndrome of micromanagement by social workers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The question is how her soul looks to God and man. Personally I have no clue what kind of life she leads or why. I don’t follow her or even recognize her name.
Now people like the new White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, she is an ugly soul inside and out. People like Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg, utterly disgusting souls.

Little weird Cruze must be 60 years old and still can’t get enough of himself with a remake 🤪

Well, ya probably ought to watch the first one just to come up to speed on the story. The flying scenes, for the time, were really quite good.
To: Rummyfan
I’m not a Tom Cruise fan. It’s not just because of his Scientology stuff. I think he’s a pompous jerk, true to his character Maverick. I try to stay away from his movies, but sometimes I want to see the other actors so still view a few, but reluctantly.

The Top Gun school is Air Force? I think it’s Navy

Getting old sucks. But you don’t have to let yourself go like that!

Top Gun was the only movie I’ve ever walked out of in my life.
It was silly.
To: PROCON
Ah, the Reagan era, what a time to be alive. Imagine if we could have taken just a peek of what lied ahead. I'd have never believed it.
To: rbg81
Ain’t it the truth. I went to my high school reunion. 40th delayed 2 years. Both girls and guys looked way older than their years. I guess hard lives will do that.
To: Rummyfan
I wonder what they replaced “you’ll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dogshit out of hong kong” with?
To: PROCON
I’m so glad I was a kid in the 80’s. Reagan defined the whole Era, pure American is, after the awful years from JFK’s Assination till 1980. The Bush 1 threw it all away.

Don’t know, but it looks like Jon Hamm will be the one to say it.
