Tom Cruise has heralded the start of shooting on Paramount’s long-anticipated “Top Gun” sequel. Cruise tweeted an image late Wednesday featuring his character, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, looking at a fighter jet down the tarmac.

The teaser image for “Top Gun: Maverick,” which Cruise also posted on his Instagram page, featured the legend “Feel the need,” a reference to the original film’s legendary quote, “I feel the need – the need for speed,” accompanied by the hashtag #Day1.

Hmmm. Will he fly an F-35? Will he do a barrel roll? Will he do a fly by of RLH's mother ship? Is he relegated to being a flight instructor? What size lifts will be in his shoes? Was the first one that long ago? Holy shnikes! 1986! Will Kenny Loggins do a new theme song?

Man, Hollywood really is running out of ideas. I wonder if we’ll see a sequel to The Seekers? Or maybe The Maltese Falcon...

Somehow I “don’t feel the need” to watch this movie when it comes out.

The big question is will Ice be there?

Will Maverick still be writing checks his body can’t cash?

Moi aussi! Actually, there aren’t many that come to mind currently or recently. Can’t remember the last time we entered a theater.

And THIS is the new Magnum PI. He busts bad guys, then blows leaves off the beachside estate:

You'll maybe believe that HIGGINS is a sassy hot British blonde who kicks the a$$es of CIA contractors..?

Well that's TRUE.

Perhaps Anthony Edwards can do the the Obi Wan Kenobi ghost mentor thing.

Will they bring Kelly McGillis back to hit on Mav’s girlfriend?

Will Val play an overweight rock star?

Will the pattern sill be full?

This will be a disaster. The original hasn’t aged very well - in 1986 it somehow tapped into the zeitgeist. As for the actors... Val Kilmer is no longer the young idol, Rick Rossovich disappeared, Kelly McGillis came out as lesbian, Goose was killed off, Merlin became the a**hole Tim Robbins.... Need I say more?!

Groan.........

Look at the bright side. Maybe the writing staff from Rosanne might pick up some work.

It may be a sequel. But at least it's not a reboot and it has the original actor.

The movie “Stealth” had eye candy, but little else except for a concept which detracts from the Top Gun concept...a technological reality for the next generation of fighters.

It will be interesting to see how he’ll pull it off.
