I just saw the new Top Gun. It is good. I enjoyed it. It hit all the right nostalgia points while also being a new and good story. And it gives enough back story for how he could still be a captain in the navy without having been kicked out or up yet for me. It\u2019s still crazy, but I\u2019ll buy it for the story. One thing that hit me was a conversation between Iceman and Maverick. It was at a hard part of the movie, and Iceman told Maverick \u201cIt\u2019s time to let go.\u201d And Maverick said, in a moment of atypical total honesty that nails the character so well, \u201cI don\u2019t know how.\u201d God, I feel that so much right now. I\u2019ve had people leave. I\u2019ve watched people move away. I\u2019ve even cut people off. But I\u2019ve never really just let go. And I don\u2019t know how to do it. And that makes everything so hard. Top Gun is a good movie. It\u2019s a fun movie. If you had any like for the original Top Gun at all, I think you will love this movie. Go and see it. I give it two aces, without reservation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
