Tom Cruise is Top Gun

This movie was in the works FOREVER. They shot over 60 hours of footage, so there's got to be a movie there. Also, it's a sequel no one really asked for. I mean, made more sense if they'd made it...um...30 years earlier. It's not like anyone asked "Hey, what happens to Pete Mitchell after top gun school?" No one even knows who the fuck Pete Mitchell is. No, dude, that's Maverick! But here we are again. Re-living the 80's. Not sure what Tom Cruise's motivation is to re-visit this. Kelly McGillis has gone mountain woman weird. Anthony Edwards as Goose is dead. Val Kilmer...is Val Kilmer. And the baby oil volleyball game is...sadly...dead as well (here, it tooks like beach football ala "Point Break"). The original "Top Gun" was horrible to begin with. Even Tony Scott (God rest his soul) understood the stupidity of the project. But it certainly made Naval aviation look great. Recruitment, jingoistic movies are slowly creeping in again. As soon as gay ass Democrats get dumped, hopefully there will be more of America Rules! movies.
