Wow, Top Gun Maverick. I mustāve cried about 7 times during it. Thank god the lights were off. The goose story was played perfectly, when Maverick looks on at Rooster playing the piano in the bar The flashbacks to Meg Ryan
The top gun intro at the start has the hairs standing. Whole thing far better than expected. Probably no call to have Penny in the movie. Pete Mitchell did not need a female love interest. His first and only love is the Navy.
Everything Everywhere All At Once is, well, itās something else. It wonāt be for everyone, and many will hate it, but itās the sort of movie that should be made and deserves to be seen. Itās batshit crazy but the performances and direction are incredible. And anything that puts Short Round back in the picture again has to be a good thing. Michelle Yeoh is off the charts in it, youād wonder now she got her head around the pitch at all. Actually youād wonder how anyone did.
It was a simple response to @Tim_Riggins post where he said that thereās something wrong with somebody who doesnāt like Top Gun, Iām not much of a movie guy anyway and Iāve never enjoyed that kind of thing, thereās probably dozens of movies you loved that I thought were shit.
Donāt worry about it like, but thanks for the kind words
Because I keep on getting replied to, like my post was out of the blue. Thatās how it works, people like different things, I donāt think anybody is right or wrong to enjoy whatever they do
I never saw the first Top Gun first time round. I only watched it after that Tarantino clip in Four Rooms where he notes itās a gay film and Goose says āMaverick you can ride my tail anytimeā
That quote was never in the movie and no I donāt normally look up and watch movies if someone reckons aspects of it are homosexual
I said thereās something wrong with someone who doesnāt enjoy the new Top Gun, you keep talking about watching Top Gun when you were a kid.
The new one is a far better film. I was taking to a gaggle of women who thought the original was pure shit (aside from the beach volleyball scene etc) and thought the new one was great. Itās a brilliant action film but also has good depth. Great performances and a great soundtrack. To put it into perspective the first one was 57% on Rotten Tomatoes, this one is 97%. Itās not the greatest film of all time of course but if you are someone who enjoys going to the movie theatre, I canāt see how youād dislike it.
Thanks mate, look itās gone to far now, I wasnāt making any big point, Iām not a fellla who goes to the cinema without the kids anyway, and it doesnāt really appeal to me so Iāll leave it there. But Iām glad that you and others have enjoyed it , I know the original was a classic movie, well got and all
I didnāt realise that it had only just come out in Ireland. I saw it a couple of months ago, it had a really slow build in the US but has done very well. That and Top Gun have saved the movie theatre. The AMC stonks crowd who didnāt get out when they should have getting some minor reprieve.
Spider-Man No Way Home was the big one really, that blew the box office wide open again. Iām stunned Everything Everywhere All At Once was such a big hit, it really didnāt seem like the sort of film that would capture the audience the way it has. As for it being out over here, Iām not sure it is, I downloaded
