Apple+ just started a series called Masters of the Air which is basically an Air Force version of Band of Brothers about B-17 pilots and crews in WWII. The first two episodes were very good.

Some country has to make movies people want to see may as well be India. How many trannys and hip hop thugs are in the film I wonder?

What comes around, goes around.

“Top Gun” was a rip-off of “An Officer and a Gentleman.” Same plot, one before flight school, the other after flight school.

Relative to Indian incomes, and given the provincial cost of living (outside Mumbai/Delhi) they do get paid very well. And moreover they tend to come from money.

The problem with Pak is that all the current leadership (whover they happen to be) need to do is point to the local Islamists and say “Après nous, le déluge”. Musharraf was saying just that.

Same plot,”

Way too much CGI. At least Mav had some actual flying scenes.

I agree, I saw the trailer yesterday, and it looks pretty cool.

Wasn’t Top Gun 2 just a rip off of the first Star Wars movie?

I’ll have to check it out. “Twelve O’Clock High” is one of my favorite movies.
