Top Gun: Maverick
Thought there was a thread, couldn't find though.
Checking this out tomorrow and I fully expect it to be even cheesier than the first film with the expected plot of Goose's son hating Maverick and then he has an epiphany and Maverick becomes like a father figure and I just don't care.
Top Gun: Maverick
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. -snip
60yo fighter pilots, f**k ya.

TBF, it's been far too long since we've had a overly aggressive closeted gay-men fighter pilot film.

Seriously, how long has it been since a North American fighter pilot experienced real combat against another enemy pilot? What war would it have happened in? Seems like all the U.S. air force is bomb civilian targets and fly away, just like every other air force in the world.
When Tony Scott was still alive and looking to make a sequel to this, he was looking at drone pilots because they really do the work now. What if they had followed that angle.
I will be extremely curious how this gets responded to, since it seemed no one was asking for it.

I'm not quite as old as that, but I've never seen it either.
Don't really give a mouse shit about it.

Gonna have to rewatch the original film in preparation, preferably with the girlfriend out of the house. It's going to be embarrassing cleaning up the couch afterwards anyways.

Link doesn't work for me, but it's from Sleep with Me (1994) and it's funny.

Maybe making it without Jerry Bruckheimer and Tony Scott means it will be less cliched and deeper.

Movie of the year. Tremendous stuff. Exactly the right amount of nostalgia and cheese. Great new characters, great chemistry. Proper shameless, feel-good ending. 10/10. Loved it.
