They were both on Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago. Really funny stuff that week.

I did really enjoy Top Gun Maverick, maybe not in the class with some I named from the past, but after all that's been happening in the world around us, was fun to just have a rah rah movie. But this Everything, E, A, A,O, with it's darker nihilism, existentialism, and all kinds of "hidden" racial and philosophical "messages"... I'd rather read another philosophy book, not in a movie, please ! But, looks Iike I am definitely in the minority. I just could not sit through it all, had to go get a Culver's after the weight of that "so called comedy" !

Top Gun Maverick was predictable, but still VERY good.

I think that Jamie NEEDS the work.

Cool. I bet they were good. Have it recorded, but NOT watched yet.

the quantum math in this widely accepted theory allows for the multiverse possibilities. Remember the earth was considered flat for ages and that the sun was the center of the universe

top gun maverick was great film work at it's best
however
the best aerial cold war thriller to me was Firefox with Clint Eastwood.
The plot was succinct , the ussr was the enemy, the weaponry and plot lines were original and way ahead of it's time.

Unbelievably bad. Closed captions were not displayed long enough to read. Dialog was incomprehensible. Had to be some kind of "woke" decision to even nominate this film.

"Woke" is just bumper sticker approaches to very complex problems to get votes. I should not go into politics as it is not allowed.

I found it unwatchable.

My first couple of tries I could not get into it and turned on something else.
