Personal accountability extends to our appearance as well. It’s obvious that McGillis partakes in extremely unhealthy food products and she apparently does not exercise. Imagine what Tom Cruise would look like if he were as undisciplined as she is

I did not realize she made the comments she made about the movie...stand by what I said but obviously she is an ugly libral...beauty is also the mind and intellect.

They got a major upgrade. Jennifer Connelly is the leading lady now. She’s kind of aged the other way in that she’s a little gaunt now, but in her day she was absolutely stunning.

Thanks, that’s informative. Fwiw, I never saw “Top Gun.” Maybe because I grew up with Navy pilots, including my father, I wasn’t interested in fiction. It wasn’t glamorous. It was a lot of taking care of little kids while the officers’ wives rallied around a widow.

I remember one in particular, when I was about 10. I spent what seemed like a whole night telling fairy tales to a six-year-old who was staying with us. Her father wasn’t the pilot who died, but her mother was the widow’s best friend. My father was the squadron commander.

If you want to marry someone who won’t age, you’re delusional. Buy a sex doll, and leave women alone.

To whom does she owe an appearance you find appealing? You? Why?

Somebody please post a pic of her from 1986 so we can compare and contrast.

The movie actually touched on the wife dealing with grief. Other than a bit of gay undertones (which have been overblown because of Tarantino riffing on it), it was pretty good.

It’s not a complete record by any means - there are various restrictions and even if the databases are openly available (some jurisdictions interpret “must deliver records” as “we won’t give it to you in electronic form, but you must pay for us to print them out at a huge premium”) there’s going to be time required to reconcile potentially incompatible database formats, etc., etc.

I’m not a big one for ideological purges. And for goodness sakes, it’s only a movie. McGillis had a major role in the first movie. It would have been a nice thing to do to include her in the sequel. As Tax-chick noted, McGillis could have had a minor roll as an analyst, or something like that.

I don’t care how tech savvy the Russian hackers are; their new “ageing” app could never have predicted that!

She should not have been in the first one. Who picked that heifer in the first place?

The issue with her isn't her age. She wasn't invited back a) because she's let herself go (horribly) and b) she's a lesbian.

What kind of part could they have *possibly* given her????

True.

Some women age well, others not so much.

I got dumped after a fairly long relationship when I was in college by a gorgeous girl. Saw a current picture of her a few years back and DAM$. Homely, fat, unrecognizable.

My wife of 33 years is 65 now, weighs within 5 pounds of the day we were married... 5-10 124# after two kids. Other than a few wrinkles she looks terrific. You just never can tell.

I’ve done without “Top Gun” this long, I’m sure I’ll live.

You need to read post 33 and check out the interview she did in 2013. She regretted her role significantly. Why, exactly, should she be rewarded with a cameo on the sequel to a film she so recently expressed regrets working on?

Oh, and why should she be given a cameo which would let the media give her a platform to spew her leftist line on every talk show?
