I think Top Gun should have been about a hot dogging P-3 Orion enlisted crewman or EA-6B EW officer.

One error that the We Are the Mighty writer somehow missed - in the final dogfight scene, Ice Man's F-14 gets hit by some canon fire:

yeah i don't think it works. This is still the best theme song redo:

Wasn't a big fan of this album, but am feeling a little ho-hum and blah tonight and I turned this 10-hour loop on while cooking dinner. Am making linguine with clam sauce alone in my kitchen while Mrs. Lanley and babygirl Lanley breast feeding upstairs, and while i wouldn't say my spirits are lifted, i would say i've…
