All the questions and answers to life's greatest challenges are there, but on a more sunny, SoCal note. You can't beat Miramar in the fall.<BR/><BR/>Sure, we can ask comparable questions like the ones you bring up for the Sound of Music, the soul-searching questions like, would Mav ever really leave his wing man? (NEVER in real life) or: would Maverick ever really leave a babe like Kelly behind, even for 15 short film minutes (NO WAY!!) but our answers are far less troubling and far simpler than the dumb-Nazi decisions (could it be otherwise?) brought to light by your recent movie experience.<BR/><BR/>All I'm really saying is, when it comes to cinema and the films that ask us to ask the difficult questions in life is: CAN YOU REALLY BEAT A DUSTY GREEN FLIGHT SUIT? Well, I mean, can you really beat a dusty green flight suit being unzipped before you? If Rolf was hotter, Nazi or not, would this be an issue?<BR/><BR/>I THINK NOT. Maria TRIED to hang out with the naval aviators during the war (it's been documented) but got stuck with the kids in the darn mountains instead.<BR/><BR/>But I digress: I ran in to T. Cruise and K. Holmes this weekend in Vegas at a convention. Three feet parading in front of me. Some would be disillusioned by the shortness in stauture and the ordinariness of screen folk in person, but all I could think of was the flight suit.<BR/><BR/>Lesson I learned from Top Gun:<BR/><BR/>When you're sixteen going on seventeen skip the political B.S. and head on down to flight school. It's better than thinking too hard about political affiliation, whether someone is going to turn you in or not, etc. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to review your next film!<BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
