Very interesting vid on the filming and how it was achieved.

Unfortunately I have to wait till Saturday to see it fortunately it’s at the local cinema sprawled on a sofa!

Wife has booked tickets for Top Gun for next Wednesday. Can't wait. I enjoy watching Cruise, despite him being a bit small to be Jack Reacher.
A couple of hours of pure escapism followed by a nice meal. What a way to spend an evening...
Oh and Mary Poppins, Bert and the kids didn't really disappear through the pavement, but it didn't stop me enjoying the film.

Am I the only one who will be avoiding TG like the plague lol.

Nope. Didn't like the first, way too much cheese in that film. Annoyingly I reckon it has taken 5-6 screens at my local multi plex so it is blocking out other films that I do want to see.

Could you not have prefaced this with a Spoiler warning ?

Nah, not interested at all. I thought the original was mainly known for being camp and cheesy.

I’ve only ever watched 30 minutes of TG and had to turn it off as TC was annoying the $hite out of me like he does in most of his films. IIRC it was a total cheese fest but I never knew it was also a gay classic ?

The second one is much better in that respect

Funny thing is I always thought of Top Gun as a bit of a chick flick along the lines of An Officer and a Gentleman

Loved them both!

I watched Kill Bill tonight, never seen it before. Doesn't make my top 3 worse films ever, Charlie's Angel's, Mama Mia and Mama Mia 2 hold those positions, but it definitely jumps into the top 5. Absolute stinker.

Awful isn’t it, really not sure why it’s seen as a bit of a cult classic. I’d rather watch Dirty Dancing ?

Wow, that last sentence is quite a statement ??.

I think it's the cult of Tarantino, no one dares criticize as then they might not be cool ?‍

Anyone seen Everything, Everywhere All At Once?

Yes. It’s bonkers, strange and brilliant all in one. I really enjoyed it. I need to watch it again though, it’s too much to take in after just one viewing.

Parasite - The Korean movie than won a few awards in 2019.
I'm actually not sure what to make off it to be honest, I'd say its worth a watch if you've not seen it but the storyline is out there so to speak.
