    May seem off topic, but I started watching the last Transformers webseries yesterday and one of the preludes is about Starscream.

    Smiled when I heard the music because clearly whoever made it thought if it's about a jet, it has to have a very Top Gun like soundtrack

    Had been excited for this film but forgot all about it due to it being postponed, that was untill the trailer popped on YouTube. Looks incredible and cannot wait to see it.

    Sure the new Bond movie's song is a year old at this point.

    And the fact that it won a grammy before anyone has even seen the movie is an absolute farce.

    Surely a song in that category has to be judged in conjunction with the visual media it is purporting to represent?

    You may be assuming that those awards are much more than a marketing exercise.

    I'd always kind of assumed it's a big screen movie. I imagine the people who saw the first one in a cinema might be able to say for sure.

    Didn't know Teller was in it until I saw that clip. Taking it as a positive, have liked him in everything I've seen him in.

    Do we have an inkling why both have been pushed back? Cluttered schedule or just Delta anxiety in the US?

    My first assumption was that Tom wants his full slice of the box office and the studio wants him to have it too.

    Hollywood Reporter saying as much about the Box Office money..

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/top-gun-maverick-mission-impossible-7-release-date-tom-cruise-1235006871/

    The date moves come as concerns over the coronavirus pandemic and its delta variant continue to hamper theater attendance and make putting tentpoles into cinemas a risky proposition for studios. Paramount, like other studios, regularly consults with epidemiologists on decisions such as this, and the studio is hopeful the box office will recover in 2022 when these films are now set to open.

    This made me laugh. What a dystopian world we live in now!

    Enough to have me wanting another trailer, I'll say that much!

    Celebrate America HooRah energy with a German sports car 😁

    Wikipedia's telling me this coat $152 million; now under the Hollywood Accounting rule of 2x the budget to break even - plus maybe some extra lost for the various delays - that's north of $300 million worldwide before this film makes money.

    I'm dead curious to learn how this does; assuming the film's not a piece of ****, whether (Cruise + Nostalgia) - CoVid can pull a crowd. This still opening in China? Given previous issues over having a Taiwanese flag in the trailer (the horror).

    I'd say there's an additional element in there of Cruise gaining a heap of experience building on top of a franchise with Mission Impossible.

    Staying somehow grounded to the original feel and yet building on it doesn't sound easy for sure.

    Plus, there's got to be a weight of expectation from the fans of the original.


    Anyway.. I've just googled for a theme for top gun maverick and listen to two versions.. no pressure to the producers 😁
