It's not a troll when I preface the post with "hot take."

Ah yes, the "yOu JuST wANt aTTenTiON" argument whenever someone (particularly someone who's likely younger) is making too much sense.


There's no question this is nostalgia driven, but saying Top Gun is overrated, meh. It's a perfect summer blockbuster.

I think it's no coincidence you're obsessed with Kurt Russell AND felt the need to drop in.



I'm not obsessed, we used to make banners in here all the time, but we stopped, this was my last one, now it's just too ceremonial to change.

Russell was better in Bone Tomahawk than literally anything he did in the 80s tho.


Bone Tomahawk is an amazing film, nothing wrong with this opinion.

Hot Take: Top Gun is one of the most overrated pieces of crap I've ever seen.

Hot damn. So tonight we’ve learned from you that Top Gun is a piece of crap, Django Unchained > Pulp Fiction, and Breaking Bad is only great to people who haven’t watched much quality tv. That’s a hell of a night

To be fair, the Tarantino thing was a personal ranking. I actually said in another post that Inglourious Basterds is probably his greatest cinematic achievement.

As far as Top Gun and Breaking Bad being overrated, well...people always fear the truth.

Top Gun isn’t overrated because no one has ever said that it’s some sort of cinematic masterpiece. It’s just a fricking awesomely entertaining movie. It helped define a decade and is still what most people envision when they think about military aviation. It’s a had much larger impact than most “great” movies ever will.

Not offering an opinion one way or another, but saying something "helped define a decade" will only add fuel to the argument that it is overrated.

Why do you keep referring to your opinion as the truth?


Its ok to have an opinion you know?


Even if its different that everyone else. And in your case, wrong too.

What he said


Trailer looked better than I expected. Don't know the plot details but with a spacesuit and F-14 in the clips I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he gets tasked with a special mission to bring down a rogue (Iranian/North Korean) satellite using an upgraded F-14 and anti-sat weaponry (missiles) that can only be launched from high altitude. I know the Air Force messed with these during my time with F-15's making the shots but don't know the real world effectiveness of such special weapons.

The invert (to go over the mountain top/down into a pass) was a legit scene. Best way to minimize pop-up over mountain tops when trying to stay low-level and keep from getting painted by radar. Our 111's used to do it all the time and is a much more effective move than attempting to nose over a peak..... Just ask the missile battery fellas out at the Red Flag ranges if you get the chance.
