The point is that it was new as a movie. There are 24 Bond movies.

 

I wasn‘t totally on board for the Kingsman prequel up until now, but that trailer has me hyped.

 

This looks awesome!

 

Oh ffs, it's a prequel...?

 

I really love the idea...but it just doesn’t fit with the two main movies.

 

There will be a third “main” film to wrap up the contemporary storyline. That should start filming in roughly six months. After that, a mini-series spin-off and a Statesman film are apparently all but confirmed.

 

I just want Roxy back.

 

Don‘t we all?

 

She ded.

 

Don't you dare. We didn't see for sure.

 

We saw a dude get shot in the face and live. I think she's just fine.

 

Missile > bullet

But given the headshot gel, it's entirely plausible for Roxy to have climbed into some reinforced shelter in the span of a few seconds

 

My guess is that we‘ll get some casting announcements before the year is out. Vaughn will want to build up all the Roxy hype he can get, provided they do bring her back.

Sidenote: I can‘t recall whether I wrote this at the time, but I saw Sophie Cookson in a production of Killer Joe last year, and she was absolutely terrific. She was really good in Red Joan as well, it was just a shame that the film wasn‘t particularly… interesting.

Basically, Vaughn absolutely hit the jackpot with her and Taron Egerton, killed one of them off for no good reason in the sequel, and ultimately made a vastly inferior movie because of it.

God, I hope they bring Roxy back.

 

It's a prequel, she might not even be born yet...

 

Well it’s official. Top Gun 2: Maverick



It hits my nostalgia button like a hitachi wand, but all the rumors I’ve heard about it are telling me it’s gonna be as good as three day old fish tacos.

 

I promised myself that I wouldn't get too excited before I pressed play, then I heard the theme and, well.

Lessgo!

 

Does it look like there's anything from the original movie carried over besides Cruise?

I have yet to see Top Gun.


On the upside, finally a trailer made by people who actually want to save something for the movie itself.

 

I'll watch it because Tom Cruise and just look at those shots in the trailer. Cruise is a producer. At the very least, even if the script is bad, they'll deliver on visual jet fighter action porn.

Edit: lol I wonder if Cruise learned to pilot a jet for this one, like he learned the helicopter for MI6. He already had a commercial pilot's license, I wouldn't be surprised, especially given how not-CGI some of the cockpit shots in the trailer looked.

 

There's no way Val Kilmer still fits in a cockpit lol

 

Well, there is definitely a motorcycle racing plane, sweaty homoerotic sport scene, hot (non-navy?) woman [walking away], humorous singing in bar and two (presumably top level) pilots fighting.

I'd say it's pretty much 'same same but different'.

Also: Jennifer Connelly has a wonderful smile.
