and then there was this...

Having mentioned spinoffs, I am now compelled to discuss the film version... the sequel.

In this case I have never seen the original (and I would like to keep it that way) but I think L. Ron's cronies are getting a little shirty at the lack of tithing so Tom Cruise is making a Top Gun sequel... 22 years after the original was released.

Apparently this time Cruise will be the instructor and in a 'clever' and 'unexpected' twist of fate, he will have to deal with a cocky female trainee fighter pilot. Wowee how long did it take to come up with that little creative gem?

But perhaps I am being overly cynical about TC's financial situation, he was Jerry McGuire after all (damn you Cameron Crowe) perhaps it is just time to make war fun and exciting again.
