Do you think James Gunn gave no feedback on that?

A well-run campaign should have clear, achievable goals (and stretch goals) with lots of on-the-job training to help new organizers get up to speed quickly. This group pretty clearly didn’t have that. However, the seven days a week, 12 hours a day schedule is not at all unique to this guy’s vanity project - it’s…

Except for the fact that Banner is clearly different, too. He’s a lot more upbeat and exuberant. You know, like the Hulk.

I really enjoyed Endgame, but I wasn’t a fan of how they killed the Hulk off screen like that.

“But they said Jane was very very interested in what Rocket had to say.”

But...they’d already shot Endgame where he was Smart Hulk throughout the film. So they had to fix it’s beginning before the jump and then the jump made the footage that was shot work.

PREMISE

Maverick is a defense test pilot now. Since the FAA permits private-sector flyers up to the age of 65, his age is no big deal. Some vague middle eastern power NOT IRAN OKAY GUYS COME ON gets up to something, and Maverick is recruited to run some kind of small aerial infiltration. The enemy air force will…

Because shut up, Kyle.

Agreed. He is a rated pilot with at least one airplane of his own that I know of, a P-51 Mustang which he flew into Lemoore or Fallon. I remember reading an article a few months ago alluding that cruise was taking flight instruction in the Hornet. That could all be bullshit but who knows.

This is such an embarrassing anecdote. Top Gun came out in 1986 and I was just in the first year of high school. I saw it and like every red-blooded commie-hating American I wanted to join the Navy and punch a Russian. Years later I was an undergrad at UCLA and still planned to join the Navy when I graduated, but my…

Yeah, but what about Tom Cruise?

Chuck Yeager last flew in an F-15 when he was 89.

The oldest active fighter pilot retired in 2015 at age 54, so it’s not like it’s out of the realm of possibility compared to probably everything else that’s going to be in this movie.

What in the original Top Gun was so realistic that makes you think this one will be?

Yeah, and that would be painfully obvious for a Hollywood that’s so formulaic (and probably pandering) that it borders on the criminal.  So, I’m going to go out on a limb and say kudos to Hollywood for not doing that.

Honestly, that would make more sense than this since there’s currently a number of drivers in various series over the age of 50.

Does this mean we’re getting Days of Thunder 2?

Why is half the shit at Comic Con at Comic Con?

Hi Mika, quick heads up, I know they might have forgotten to tell you this, but you're supposed to be a journalist. Journalists generally at least read the packet that some poor PA put together to tell you who you'll be interviewing. Good journalists also do additional research.
