  1. My Dr. checkup last Summer. My PA is "North Dakota 7" (no pics) and she had her intern l, a North Dakota 8 (no pics) with her. She comes in and says, "Good morning, Parliament. This us Sarah. She's a nursing student at UND and we'll be double-teaming you.

    In a rare display of maturity, I bit my cheek and stared at the floor. After an awkward moment of silence, we commenced with my appointment.

    During that time, my brother-in-law was known for some pretty crazy stunts, including high speed fly-bys, buzzing towers and such -- a couple of which almost cost him his wings. And he was famously "dating" an admiral's daughter at the time.

  3. The sex scene is so bad I can't believe they filmed it. Brilliant borderline on violent blue lighting, "Take my Breath Away" pounding in through the speakers, Tom Cruise being lowered via some sort of crane device ( seriously, he's like completely parallel with the ground ) on top of Kelly McGillis to assume the Missionary Position, the two of the standing at attention before moving their arms over each other like they are robots being told how to simulate sex. The real topper though is the fight scene just before they bang, which is like a perfect maelstrom of horrendous acting and terrible dialogue about the fact that Maverick "has a real brilliance in his flying, but you're also a complete fucking lunatic".  It's like watching my 5 YO play acting a fight between 2 adults or something. For sure though my favorite scene is directly after Goose dies and Cruise is standing there in tighty-whities trying to be sad and Viper's all like, "Fuck 'em, he's dead. Cut that asshole out of your life. You've got to let him go ( he's been dead for like 4 hours ) and move on with your life".
    Cruise's performance is jaw droppingly bad. I hadn't seen an early Cruise movie in a long time and I had forgotten how much better of an actor he is now compared to then. Unless he's grinning his face literally contorts like he's got Bell's Palsy or some shit when he's trying to be angry or sad or something. His timing is awful on the two comedic scenes ( like when he's trying to sing in the bar ).
    Look, I loved that movie and the Top Gun theme screams patriotism and the U.S. motherfuckin' A. to me like a Sousa march. I still love that movie in the same way you love something average but you have a deep connection w/, like a profoundly mediocre Tex-Mex restaurant in the small town you grew up in ( shout out to Ta-Molly's and La Familia ). 
     
     
    I bet you're fun at parties.

  4. ...he's about to paint his masterpiece.

    Coulda gone into the "Movies that won you over," thread.  Scott's weird editing and twangy score turned me off.  But Creasy's #rampage is worth it.  

    Denzel Washington started a new wave of "old(er) guys kicking ass."  We wouldn't have Taken without Man on Fire.

    June 4, 1938

    • The third FIFA World Cup tournament began in Paris with Germany (including Austrian players) and Switzerland playing to a 1–1 draw. The French crowd jeered the German team when the players made the Nazi salute and threw bottles, eggs and tomatoes at them throughout the match.[6]

     

    Perhaps the French woulda been better off, I don't know, PREPARING TO BE INVADED.
