If this was filmed 4 yeara ago, then maybe a Maverick that aged sequentially with the real Tom Cruise could possibly have been at the very end of his military career, but he would have needed some command positions under his belt to have lasted that long.

The recruiters, of course, will gladly say, “Yes, join the navy and you too “could” be a pilot.” Its not a total lie, after all, and much less so if they were applying for navy ROTC.

Along the same line, we would need to believe that Maverick is still an active duty pilot at age 60. Tom Cruise was exactly the right age for the role of a junior pilot in 1985. He’s too old to be even a senior military pilot now, although I’m sure he can play the role effectively in a movie.

No matter how he looks, Tom Cruise is not a young man.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he blacked out multiple times filming this movie.

Wasn't NCAA basketball also one of Nintendo's first attempts at rendering a 3D environment? 

I haven’t played a console-based video game in over two decades, but as a kid, I always preferred Nintendo’s in-house goofiness and intuitive controls over other studios’ attempts at realism. It was so much more fun playing hockey with a mixture of unnamed fat, medium and skinny players than the officially licensed,…

“doesn’t mean I have an emotional response to Peppa Pig crying over Robert Downey Jr. or whatever.”

But old Mrs. Vorhees still carries a decades’-old hunger for revenge on Baby and her friends, who failed to notice the screams of her beloved son drowning in the lake as they obliviously danced the night away.  Mrs. Vorhees will make sure the re-opening will be a night nobody will ever forget!

Not the Catskills, but in the late 80s, my family looked into a vacation at one of the well-past-it’s-prime Pocono resorts, as a change-up from our usual Jersey Shore trips. We drove up to check it out one weekend at an open house and the place looked... really sad and completely outdated, but it was still…

Too bad he wasn’t born Fred Goodfellow.

When I read the headline, I instantly thought, is this an English remake of “De Zaak Alzheimer”)? “Loft”, also starring Koen DeBouw, got a very poorly received American remake, so the precedent may not be too good if this is, in fact, based on the prior Flemish film.

Fred Savage would sometimes visit the bars they hung out at during their time off, and that he was a sexually inappropriate creep and an arrogant, entitled asshole.

Wouldn’t this be more stoking late Gen Xer nostalgia for a show that stoked Boomer nostaglia?

At the time, I thought it was just a video game that my older brother liked at the boardwalk arcades down the shore. Only years later did I learn that it was a movie, but I initially thought it was based on the game, not the other way around.

The non-stop bad Austin Powers impersonations and quotes circa 1997-2000 didn’t help either.

What would the 1996 version have been?  “Information Superhighways”!

I knew nothing about this film at the time, but when I was deployed to Kosovo, one of my roomates was absolutely thrilled when the on-base theater played it. I went with him, and didn't understand why he was so excited about seeing a supernatural southern Gothic and, oh, that's why he was so stoked about it.

Ah, thanks.  I was relying on the Wikipedia cast list, rather than my memory of the film from almost 30 years ago.

According to Wikipedia, she got married, had kids, and decided to retire.

I’ve always been a Western fan, and The Quick and the Dead was my gateway drug to Sam Raimi. I was lucky enough to catch the movie in the theater during its relatively brief run, but it doesn’t seem to have found its audience until it started showing up on TV. I thought at the time I was just seeing a quirky homage to…
