@MN5 She got older. We got older....
No excuse for her tits falling off. That’s what I was referring to
They're still there, they're just spread to her belly button

Top Gun Maverick
I started my experience by watching Top Gun. Still a very good film, it was good to recap the story where it all began.
CF Jr had seen TGM and raved about it so I was expecting a lot. And as DM said the movie doesn't disappoint. It uses the original soundtrack, in a Star Wars like manner. Great that they used one of the original film's iconic songs. The story had a bigger mission as its centrepiece, which provided for a great finale. Lots of nods to the old film, plenty of action, and the theatre got a bit dusty ##spoiler
when Mav and Goose's son made up
##endspoilerAn all star cast, Val made an appearance, and Jennifer Connolly looked hawt as usual. 5 beach football touchdowns out of 5 impossible missions
Really ? I haven’t thought she’s looked too decent lately.
Not being the biggest fan of the original I won’t be rushing to the movies to see this.
Back to JC……..here are a couple of pics about 30 years apart……for some reason I preferred her when she was younger…..
Good point., I'd definitely not fuck her now.

I wasn’t having a go at her for being older. What kind of chauvinistic pig do you guys take me for ?
I was merely talking about her tits.

So, I've completed my annual Oscars Best Film nominations watch, here is my ranking of them from worst to best in case anyone is bored at work at the moment.
Licorice Pizza: As I noted earlier in the thread, I can’t stand this film. But @MiketheSnow said it better than I can:
Was hoping they all went off the cliff as the truck was freewheeling backwards.
I really disliked the performances of the two leads which doesn’t help. Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Punch Drunk Love seem a long time ago now. 2/10Power of the Dog: Well, the NZ scenery was nice, but not much of a movie, all style over substance. Sorry Jane. Cumberbatch did his best DDL, and also stars real life couple Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons (Landry from Friday Night Lights) so lots of method acting going on. 5/10
West Side Story: I’m a fan of live theatre musicals, but I’m not a fan of film versions. Saw this with my Mum over xmas break as she loves the original. Was ok, but it’s still a film version of a musical. 6/10
King Richard: Feel good movie, easy viewing but that’s about all. Will Smith was pretty decent playing a fairly annoying character. A good support cast of the two young actors playing Venus and Serenda and John Berenthal as a tennis coach. 6.5/10
Don’t Look Up: Not as good as The Big Short, but still a fun-ish black comedy with some big stars. The credit sequence on the new planet had me in hysterics. Meryl Streep was hilarious as lady Trump and Leo and Jennifer Lawrence play scientists. 7/10
Nightmare Alley: This was the nominee I was least looking forward to as I thought it was a horror and the fish fucking movie put me off Del Toro. Anyway, it’s not a horror and there's no fish fucking. It’s actually a good drama-thriller. Was a little bit predictable in parts but the design of the film and cinematography is great. Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, Willem Defoe, and Rooney Mara star. 7/10
Drive My Car: A three-hour Japanese movie about staging a play – kind of. I really did not expect to like this and set aside three separate times to watch. I watched it in one sitting and it was weirdly interesting. Some Japanese, Korean, Chinese-American etc people star. 8/10
Dune: Great version from Villinenue which did really well so the second movie is being made. Thankfully! Timothy Chalemet, Oscar Issac and Jason Momoa were all good. 8.5/10
Belfast: A movie about the Troubles that some might find schmaltzy, but I didn’t think it was. Directed by Branagh and partially based on his childhood. I think that either this or The Power of the Dog will win the Oscar. I hope it’s this. Jamie Dornan was good as the Dad and Ciarn Hinds was a crack up as the grandfather. 8.5/10
Coda: Kind of crazy that a movie from early in 2021 and released on AppleTV+ has received a best picture nomination. This is my favourite of the nominees. Was much funnier than you’d expect for a movie about the issues of growing up hearing in an all deaf family. Sign swearing is a crack up. Wont win anything and it was B/S it didn't receive a best actress nomination. 9/10
I watched Coda last night. Borderline couldn't stand it. Can't believe it won best film. It's the kind of cliched American film you might watch on a long haul flight to NZ. We'll have to agree to disagree but I was bored and the plot was so obvious. On this list, I've also seen Power of the Dog, West Side Story, Dune and Belfast. All but WSS I'd rate better, and WSS I'd put on a par - not as good as the 1960s version. I think I just don't like American comedies TBH.

Yeah, we can agree to disagree (as always would be boring if everyone liked the same stuff), but I don't really consider WSS or Coda as out and out comedies, and Coda is a remake of a French film.

if ever a film was made for @Kruse I thought it'd be this
but on looking, no, that is PART 2, Part 1 stars Eric 'busiest actor in Hollywood' Roberts!!

Really enjoyed this. Actually first film GF and I have been to together. Were planning it for more than 2 years. Used money from recycling all our bottles and cans. After 2 years that was more than enough to pay for farking gold class!
It wasn't a great or complex film, but it never aimed to be. Cruise just wanted to entertain and do justice to the character of Maverick and make a worthy sequel to an 80s classic. Succeeded on every front.
Had 2 minor quibbles. I didn't like most of the other pilots. They just didn't strike me as the best of the best. Kind of like the astronauts in Deep Impact (if anyone remembers it). They seemed like teens rather than the very best pilots in the world. The other was:
##spoiler
Them getting shot down then stealing a plane. That was all a bit Comical.
##endspoilerBut otherwise I was greatly entertained and if anything the character of Maverick was made even cooler. Hats off to Tom Cruise, who btw looks ridiculous for a guy who will soon be 60.
-
-
Agree with your second quibble but the whole episode was the forgiveness arc. Having put them in that mess they almost needed a deus ex machina. But is a very minor quibble
As for Cruise - somewhere there's an attic with a painting like this
-
@Rancid-Schnitzel yeah I'm willing to forgive quibble 2 as it was such a good film and by then I was okay with a little bit more silliness to complete what was a satisfying story arc for Maverick and Rooster. As to quibble one, it is difficult to compare pilots when you saw the original. No doubt Viper and Jester would have fucked all of those millennials up

Yeah, Hangman was like a jock character from one of those old screwball films. And who would choose the call sign Fanboy? Bob was also ridiculous. I quite liked Phoenix. GF commented on how it was refreshing that there was none of that chip on shoulder girl power bs. They were there on merit and nobody gave a shit about gender or race or who they slept with.
But what really gave me a horn is that line: "Maybe so sir...but not today."
Fark that is cool.
