‘Top Gun: Maverick’.
I think I may be the only person on the planet that thought that movie was dumb and totally predictable.
I was really disappointed after we watched it. Not sure WHAT I was hoping for, but it didn’t instill me with pride and make me want to wrap myself in The American Flag or anything.
*SHRUG* I’m no big fan of Tom Cruise, though. ;)

No. No you’re not. But I sense that that was much of the appeal of it. It pushed all the buttons like a American Graffiti did.
Haven’t seen it, and probably will only see the flying clips. Flying at night with lights INSIDE the visor to show his face? Try doing that on a motorcycle at night.
Flying in the bright sun over snow covered mountains, with only a clear visor, so we can see his face? He in a jet going 400+ mph, not down a mountainside on skis going 50 mph.
And now Brad Pitt is an F1 driver, something that requires years of experience and marathon style physical endurance.
Call me boring, but I’m too old to play make believe, except when playing with my grandkids. To do that in front of a camera, and act serious? It just ain’t me.
And I really hate seeing a preacher put on an act! There’s a LOT of that going on.
