Top Gun 2 Maverick? (Tom Cruise sequel)

Pfc. Sandoval, Ananda (Dharma B Med, Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Don't ask, don't tell, Tom. It's USAF policy
Everyone's a critic. C'mon, this is saccharine Hollywood summer blockbuster candy, for gay volleyball enthusiasts, girls who love to watch, and fans of Tom Cruise. How much can anyone expect? So we went to see it at the unofficial start to summer in dreary Hollywood, California. The long Memorial Day weekend weather is all gloomy in Tinsel Town. Here are some quotes from the conversation that ensued:
  • "It sucked less than I thought it would"! - Wisdom Quarterly editor
  • "There was nothing else to do this weekend, what with the price of gas and gloomy weather"! - Moviegoer 1
  • "Tom Cruise is that freak who abducted the chick [Katie Holmes] from Dawson's Creek and got her into that Scientology cult, right?"! - Moviegoer 2
  • "There haven't been that many tough guy action flicks that ain't Marvel or comic book bulls--t, except that one where Alec Baldwin shot that girl in the face [Rust], but I guess that one ain't coming out"! - Moviegoer 3
  • "Is this supposed to be like that Jungle Fever [Tropic Thunder] movie where Tom plays that fat Jewish guy [with hairy knuckles] and you can't even recognize him?"! - Moviegoer 3
  • "It was the worst best movie we've seen in a long time, as when Tom Cruise scaled that outside of the tallest building in the world [in Dubai] when the sandstorm was coming, so stupid but fun"! - Wisdom Quarterly editor
  • BETTER MOVIES TO WATCH: FilmWeek (KPCC)
The gayest movie of our lifetime, only cisgender people don't know it.
It was a recruitment film for the military that had to be Pentagon approved
