A supposed sequel to the 1986 film 'Top Gun' which was not a horrible movie, but it was cliched, predictable and nothing like the Navy or aviation at all. A pure fantasy for the jingoistic armchair generals who would 'rah-rah' and cheer at the 1986 Libya air and sea war that (coincidentally) came that year, and later get their rocks off watching and listening to the 24/7 live TV and radio coverage of the drama in Iraq in 1991 and every war since. The film didn't faze or offend me. I was in the Navy during the time. Americans who never served thought it was as so 'apple pie' grand. It wasn't. Some critics bashed it, saying it glorified war. No, it didn't - there was no war in the plot. It was just an unrealistic fantasy, that's all.
This sequel, now dubbed 'Top Gun: Maverick' is SAID to be out soon but it's been put off again and again. It's supposed to take place 36 years later. Well, everything has changed since 1986. As a veteran I can tell you that NOBODY serves that long in the service, let alone flies jet fighters. Even more, Tom Cruise himself turned down doing a sequel in the late 80s. If this film does come out, I hope it's a BOMB. It's preposterous, unrealistic, stupid and an idiotic pile of shit. Most of my Generation X has moved on, this ain't the 80s anymore. Since Cruise has tarnished his image and rep over the years, his career is declining AND he has a daughter begat by a dumb starfucker to feed, I guess this would be something to fall back on. Maybe.

1. Already at Christmastime 2020 there were toy jetson sale promoting and hyping 'Top Gun: Maverick' as a 'soon in theaters' film. But supposedly the current keeps putting its release off. So will it come out or not? Or was it even made?
2. After all this time and everything that has come and gone, why in God's name is this 'Top Gun: Maverick' even coming out, IF it is and IF it's even been made. Can't Hollywood make ANYTHING original anymore? Besides, most sequels esp. ones that come so many years later are absolute trash, garbage, rubbish, shit and crap. Not worth your time or money. Or theirs.
3. I know all the armchair warriors and Ted Nugent types who think war is a game are going to pack the cinemas to see this in late May and slap their monkeys, if it does ger released. As a Navy veteran, I can only advice you - this film can only be a dud. It (and the 1986 one) are nothing like the Navy or even the REAL 'Top Gun' flight school.' Top Gun: Maverick' is trash, go watch something else.

Quite simply He is the Messiah referred to by various cultures everywhere. He gave a new message of mercy and forgiveness. He had a very hard time selling these ideas. He still does. He performed many miracles in order to glorify God and His greatness. He's been given a bad rep by hypochristians, fanatics and other zealots who do evil things in His Name. All religions have their fanatics and Christianity (the worship of Jesus as the Son of God) is no different. Some atheists claim that Jesus never existed. Maybe some people don't think He is the Son of God, but for someone who doesn't exist He has made a tremendous impact on history and culture. Also, fairy tales generally don't last for over 2000 years. Besides, I'm not a Buddhist but there's no doubt that Siddhartha Gautama Buddha lived and died over 25 centuries ago.

1. a funky rock'n'roll band that formed in the early 60's. They started out as a soul-jazz fusion band then became the biggest selling act of the 80's. They didn't get the ubiquity of Michael Jackson or the notoriety of Duran Duran, they simply had albums frequently on the chart, singles somewhere on the Hot 100 and videos on the networks like MTV, BET, VH1. Their songs are well known to this day, their only #1 hit is the classic 'Celebrate' which is now played at sporting events, graduations, weddings, bar mitzvahs, you name it. The band name comes from bassist Ron 'Kool' Bell and is sometimes abbreviated as 'KATG'.
2. a slang euphemism for 'everything's A-OK' or 'everything is alright'.

1. In May 2019 I finally got to see Kool and the Gang perform. The Grim Reaper had whittled this 7 man band of multi-instrumentalists to 4 men, and they were supported on tour with local symphony orchestras (to pick up the slack). They were just as good as they ever were, stretching out like say an extended sax solo on their #2 smooth ballad 'Cherish'. Sweet. Sad to say, since 2019 two members have died so now there's only two surviving members. I'm glad I saw them when I did.
2. Their classic #1 'Celebrate' spent only ONE WEEK at #1 but look at the other Number Ones of late 1980 and tell me who remembers all of those, or even WANTS TO. KATG never did again top the Hot 100 singles chart but they came pretty close a number of times - 'Cherish', ' 'Joanna', and the club favorite 'Fresh'. KATG are good guys, they made PSAs on TV about staying in school, anti-drug ads without the lies and namby-pamby BS and more. They're KOOL, not fools.
3. Sonny: 'Whaddup?'
Rico: 'Everything's Kool and the Gang today'.
4. When Joe Biden won the Pennsylvania electoral votes, enough to make him win the 2020 Presidential election against the Traitor Il Douche, I didn't go out and join the celebrations in my home city that broke out instantly (CoVid, folks) so I went to my den, pulled out a KATG Greatest Hits CD and played 'Celebrate' at top volume. It shook the house and everyone on the block heard it. And I DID NOT CARE! After 4 years of fascist hell it was time to celebrate! Thanks, KATG.

a fascist dictator responsible for the destruction of Yugoslavia and leading the Serbian people to disaster. He caused the rapes of over a million women, the deaths of thousands of men and children, the establishment of WWII-style concentration camps and more atrocities not seen in over 40 years. His genocidal policies took the lives of many just because they used the "wrong" alphabet, spoke the "wrong" language or practiced the "wrong" religion. He claimed he was "defending" Serbia and the Orthodox faith. Yeah, right. He was an asshole anti-Christ for the late 20th century. He died earlier this year. May he rot in hell forever.

1. Roger: you got me requisitioned, blondie. She's just a girl.
Pete: She's a bomb!
Roger: I'm happy!
Pete: She's a bomb!
Roger: I'm ecstatic!
Pete: She's a bomb!
2. After we kissed and made up after resolving an argument, my girlfriend treated me out to a showing of the movie "Sibling Rivalry" at the Studio 35 cinema. The best I can say about that is that I didn't waste any dough, because that flick is so godawful it's a totally depressing bomb. I hated every minute of it.

when you have to be cruel to be kind, it simply means you are dishing out tough love to your lover. (S)he will later recognize that you have his/her best interests in mind and will later be grateful for what you are doing. Things will all pan out in the end, your lover just has to trust you.
"Cruel to be Kind" is a late 1979 hit for British rock'n'roller Nick Lowe. He's made other great witty songs as well, check out his 1989 greatest hits release "Basher: The Best of Nick Lowe", it's terrific. Also, a different song of the same title appears on the debut album "Resident Alien" by Spacehog, from 1995.
