I know I’m a late bloomer, but I just saw Top Gun and I must say two things: Tom Cruise used to be so much better looking and two, what’s up with women with bushy eyebrows being hot in the eighties? Hey, but she was gorgeous.
I liked Maverick’s personality and I was thinking gee you really have to be pretty ballsy to have a job like that. I don’t think I could be a jet pilot ever. I think maybe my brother could. Feras is crazy like that. It’s really refreshing to see a person do exactly what he wants to do, go against the crowd, and learn and make mistakes on their own. Maverick reminded me of my careless self growing up and making brash moves without regard to consequence. It’s part of being a freshman with loads of energy and zero direction.
I did enjoy the adrenaline-rushing action and love scenes. I forgot how frickin’ sweet those F-14 jets are! Whoosh! Makes me want to play Afterburner again like the old days. Screw the lines, the music and lyrics are really awesome:
Revvin’ up your engine
Listen to her howlin’ roar
Metal under tension
Beggin’ you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin’ into twilight
Spreadin’ out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin’ off the track
And shovin’ into overdrive
Highway to the Danger Zone
I’ll take you
Right into the Danger Zone
You’ll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You’ll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone
Highway to the Danger Zone
By Kenny Loggins – Danger Zone Lyrics, Theme Song for Top Gun
