The new patch has me a little miffed. They censored out the Japanese and Taiwanese flags so they could sell the movie in China. So now we got Chinese censorship subverting our own movies :rage:

The lights inside space helmets is a purely cinema thing so the audience can see who’s who. The same reasoning is used in a lot of war movies where taking your helmet off would have never happened (Band of Brothers).

Lot’s of GoPro videos out there with no/clear/yellow visors down.

not in combat.

Dependent on lighting conditions, surely?

Or is the new patch a link to the old movie?

It’s partly financed by the Chinese production company, Tencent Pictures.

In either way,

We don’t make policy here, gentlemen. Elected officials, civilians, do that.

Ye Gads! That shot of Ed Harris scares the ■■■■ out of me. Top Gun II is a zombie movie?! Didn’t Tom already do one of those?

At least he isn’t pulling negative-G’s.

If I see a movie set in 1986, and I see a car from 1988 in it, I immediately turn it off, burn the disc, take out a full page ad in the NYT blasting the film for having the worst accuracy ever, and have an aneurysm.

It’s the only logical course of action.

Overreacting to trailers is the new trendy sport for everyone!
Just look at the comments about trailers of the new Star Wars movie, Star Trek series and the like.

The most important thing to keep in mind is to decide between those two stances even before watching the movie:
A: this is the worst movie ever made, it shits all over the franchise, the fans, the world and is meant as an insult and everyone who made it is dumb and/or evil
B: this is the best movie ever made, everything in it is perfect, and everyone who made it is a saint

In both cases also do this:

  • tell everyone who disagrees that they are a moron or part of a grand scheme to destroy the franchise and/or civilization
  • present your opinions as facts
  • present other people’s opinions as fact as long as they agree with you. Use rabid YouTube videos as proof
  • claim that your opinion is the only one supported by facts, and that material such as videos can solely be interpreted the way you do, and thus the facts speak for themselves.
  • claim to know better than the creators what is correct, and what people want to see
  • declare that everything is ruined forever
  • tell everyone to boycott everything even remotely related

Seriously though. About the harness. That’s not a bad observation. I mean it has nothing to do with whether or not the movie has value. But the crew chief who buckled Cruise into the back seat wasn’t doing his job. Or maybe it’s just a mock-up plus CGI in which it doesn’t matter. I mean a loose harness is way less of a stretch than a 55yo Captain still flying jets.

Yep, considering there are Federal laws that would have needed to be circumvented for him to still be in the service.

Topgun Maverick or



which to watch (first) in 2020? :grin:

Is it me or is this whole “Use the movie franchise name and then insert the name of a character
Star Wars Solo, Toopgun Maverick and now Star Trek Picard
a trending thing?” What next? Casablanca Rick? Wizard of Oz Tin-man? The Godfather Godfather? :grimacing:
