Is This Something?
I have a nequel... a nequel for sequel.
Verdict: Meh. The plane stuff was pretty good but I just saw similar aerial stuff in M:I Fallout. I didn't understand -- were there flashbacks in this? Was I supposed to be seeing Goose or is that just an actor that looks a lot like him? And volleyball? We gotta do the volleyball scene too? Eh, Tom Cruise is mostly doing good work lately so whatever, I'll probably see it.Comments

Holy cripes, Val Kilmer is in it. I wonder if he lost weight for the role. He turned into a right slob.
No Meg Ryan, though. I wonder if they asked her. She hasn't done a film in yeeeeears.

We're not sure in that movie that the Emperor was elected in the normal sense; we're just aware of a residual Senate that's about to be abolished. We show up when there's an uneasy balance between the military and the Sith Lords. The military thinks they're in charge and even the last Senatorial remnants (Leia) suspect as much.
As far as we know, the Emperor is a figurehead just like the Senate by that stage.
It's over "The Empire Strikes Back" and the sequels that we learn that Palpatine was Space Hitler all along.

The 80's are dead to me musically..
But.. I gotta say.. Kenny Loggins songs were pretty good to me when I was busting my nut playing crappy pubs in the 70's and early 80's.. everyone liked his songs! And they are easy to play and easy to give it some of the good ole Kenny inflections. I actually looked a lot like him back then.. He made a lot more money though.. then pissed it away in several divorces..

I'm sure the flight sequences are going to be awesome so this movie gets a thumbs up. Luckily, they can't bring Kelly McGillis back since she's busy munching carpet. Hopefully, they get a much hotter babe. Maybe even two or three of them.
Meg Ryan better not show up in this movie. Her lips are too big for the screen to contain. She is a serious plastic surgery casualty.

It used a battery, which in the first battle scene was stolen off of Cruise by the B#tch of Verdun (or whatever her nickname was). Other replays involved the batteries going dead (in the field on the way to the farmhouse).

Just wait for Cruise's sequels to Losin' It, Cocktail, and All The Right Moves.
Risky Business with the original cast. Actually, Rebecca DeMornay - having seen her as the detective's mom on Lucifer - looks pretty good still.

Nice to see the terrain hugging, inverting over the crest of a ridge. Low-level flight makes for better video. Should be a thrill ride.
God knows they can't screw up the flying worse than the first movie. Of course, nobody as old as Cruise or Ed Harris is actually in the Navy...

I'm being serious, though. I know technology helps, but men still have faster reaction times than women.
I'm just wondering if the protocol is to send up women knowing because equality, h8rs, when they know that choice involves a higher potential to lose the pilot, plane, and fight.

Back in WWII, there were Russian women who flew obsolete biplanes to harass German ground troops. They flew at night and cut their engines to glide silently over their targets before dropping their bombs.
Their planes' cruising speed was slower than the German fighters' stall speeds, so they were very difficult to shoot down.
The Germans called them the "Night Witches".

That was an F-14 Tomcat in the very last scene.
Let me see.
Charlie's (Kelly McG) daughter is the hot redhead, who something something plot twist something something.
"Phoenix" is Goose's daughter (Meg Ryan was pregnant when Goose died, obviously). And of course, Phoenix gets killed fighting against the Evil White Supremacists (Russians allied with Trump to take over the Ukraine, or something. Work with me here).
After being grounded for punching Rick Rossovich's lights out at the Squadron Football Game/Homo-Erotic Picnic, Mav travels to the Boneyard at Davis Monthan AFB in AZ and refurbishes his old Tomcat into flying condition (insert montage scene here).
Maverick then flies solo in his old 'cat into Russia to finally put a Hellfire Phoenix Missile (not named for the dead daughter of Meg and Goose - It's the AIM-54 System the F-14 carried) right up Ol' Putin's ass.
Tom Cruise finally dies in a flurry of Russian AA missiles, content, smirking to the end.

See women shouldn't be in combat roles. That used to be a conservative position.
Posted by: WOPR
-----------------------
Yes and I held that view for a long time. Still hold that view for any role that a forward combat troop would do. The physical risks leading to debilitating injury and shortened periods of being mission capable are just to high.
But the physical demands of flying are actually well suited to personnel with slighter upper-body builds and tempered aggressiveness. Anger and ego in an aircraft gets you dead.
Women have proved themselves as pilots.
Besides, you just can't know how much it lifts the spirits of all of us in the blood and mud to hear a sweet southern lilt asking, "How ya'll boys doin. Would you like me to make all your troubles go away?"

I liked Knight and Day mostly for how Cruise's character slowly went downhill and Diaz's character became more competent.

The Soviets also had a couple of female combat aces. The more successful of the two was Lidya Litvyak who is credited with somewhere between five and a dozen kills (her exact tally varies depending on the source).
During the Battle of Kursk, she turned to meet two on-coming German Bf-109 fighters, flew into a cloud, and was never seen again. The official story is that she successfully crash-landed her plane outside a nearby village, but died of wounds she'd suffered. A body in the village is claimed to be that of an unknown female pilot that the villagers buried, and this is generally believed to be her. An official investigation agreed with this conclusion. Others, though, point to rumors that suggest she might have been captured by German troops operating in the area, and taken as a prisoner of war. If so, her subsequent fate is unknown.

I'm just wondering if the protocol is to send up women knowing
because equality, h8rs, when they know that choice involves a higher
potential to lose the pilot, plane, and fight.-----------------------
Revealing a little more, I was also at the USAFA, class of 82, before I decided to ditch the politics of the officer corps.
Point being, I was a classmate of a lot of the pilots that I controlled and was well ingratiated to their trials and tribulations.
I also road raced motorcycles for a few decades and a surprising number of my competitors were ex military pilots.
Which brings me to the point.
road racing a motorcycle is a lot like flying a fighter. Quick reactions are NOT the key. Quick decisions are. Things happen too fast for anyone to meaningfully react to. You have to mentally be way ahead of your vehicle. That is the core principle of OODA. Hyper fast reactions with bad forsight makes for jittery control and that is in stable.
So your proper angle of criticism for women fighter pilots is, can women be taught to be aggressive enough? Can they learn to be the snarling attack dog pulling at the chain always looking for the sequence to a kill.
Well, yes they can, as many a male fighter pilot has learned.
It isn't 100% of them, but neither is it 100% for men either.

It's not so much that. The US military employs an "up or out" policy (implemented by McNamara, iirc). You either get promoted, or you're forced out. The trailer puts him at the rank of Captain, or O-6. That's the same rank as a Colonel in the other services, and is the last rank before Admiral, where he'd pretty much be forced out of the cockpit. He's not going to be in the cockpit for much longer because they'll force him to either become an Admiral (in which case his assignment will pull him off the flight roster), or be forced to retire.
I would imagine that he's the Commander Air Group (i.e. the guy in charge of all of the pilots and planes) for whichever posting he's currently at.

But women have not excelled in any of the pro sports that involve these things (versus men). The only such sport that some women have managed to beat men at is in drag racing. OTher than that, women have not been able to beat men in pretty much anything else - not to be at the top of the heap.
Sure, Danica Patrick was an average driver, which is good enough to be in the sport, but she wasn't winning anything. I wouldn't rush to put someone like her in a cockpit to send her out fighting for our defense and I certainly wouldn't totally rearrange everything and screw up all sorts of issues just to get a few women pilots who can manage to be, at best, average.

"up or out" policy (implemented by McNamara, iirc). You either get
promoted, or you're forced out. The trailer puts him at the rank of
Captain, or O-6. That's the same rank as a Colonel in the other
services, and is the last rank before Admiral, where he'd pretty much be
forced out of the cockpit.

So your proper angle of criticism for women fighter pilots is, can women be taught to be aggressive enough? Can they learn to be the snarling attack dog pulling at the chain always looking for the sequence to a kill.
Well, yes they can, as many a male fighter pilot has learned.
It isn't 100% of them, but neither is it 100% for men either.
--------------
Something else worth noting -
One of the problems afflicting combat pilots these days is information overload from their HUD display in the cockpit.
One item that I've heard that supposedly differentiates the sexes is that men in general tend to do really well focusing on one thing, while women tend to do better with splitting their attention between multiple things. Depending on how well that stereotype holds up, women might do better with the information overload problem.

Dr. Robert Epstein told Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Tuesday that Google can manipulate votes by using tools that they have at their disposal exclusively, and that no one can counteract them.
("Google's manipulation of votes gave, at least, 2.6 million votes to Hillary Clinton...")
Epstein warned the senator of big tech election meddling during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on "Google and Censorship through Search Engines" on Tuesday.

But I'm not criticizing so much as I'm asking if they're allowed to engage what one would assume to be males in equally equipped enemy planes in fighter-to-fighter combat.
For pretty much the same reason women aren't particularly competitive against the top males in motorcycle racing, come to think of it.

Are our own elite female pilots like the one lady that barely passed
that ranger qualification (or whatever it was) and they are roughly
equal to the bottom of the class male pilots who are worried about being

To be clear, I am absolutely against Women as ground combatants. Those that can meet the physical requirements, can't sustain them, and risk permanent injury trying to do so. Flying aircraft is not about physical skills, it is about emotional and intellectual. Women can and do meet and sustain that grade.

I'm personally not aware of anything on this topic either way. However, also note that women were allowed to become combat pilots back in the '90s, when things weren't quite so insane. If there had been problems back then, I'd imagine that word would have gotten out at that time.
The "women in every other front-line combat role" thing is a much more recent phenomenon, and has largely only been able to come about because of the current insanity.

Puh-leeease.
The fact is that democratic processes are some of the stupidest ways to fill positions and that most people treat any vote frivolously and as a sideshow. Voting is such a brittle exercise that it's amazing people have been sold on how important it is. It's a joke.
Just the fact that releasing numbers before the polls close has such a massive effect on voting that we have banned it in 50 states tells you how easy and silly it is to affect votes.
Google doesn't have any magic vote turning machine. They just have some normal, run-of-the-mill propaganda. The same that the left has always had.

these things (versus men). The only such sport that some women have
managed to beat men at is in drag racing. OTher than that, women have
not been able to beat men in pretty much anything else - not to be at
the top of the heap.
Sure, Danica Patrick was an average driver, which is good enough to
be in the sport, but she wasn't winning anything. I wouldn't rush to
put someone like her in a cockpit to send her out fighting for our
defense and I certainly wouldn't totally rearrange everything and screw
up all sorts of issues just to get a few women pilots who can manage to
be, at best, average.

The same can be said of a number of minorities that are not well represented in motorsports as well. It doesn't mean they don't have the ability nearly so much as it means they haven't taken a sustained interest. To excel at motor sports you need to be committed for a long time and you need lots of other people who believe you, even after you've turned thousands or hundreds of thousands of finely crafted machinery into very poor lawn art.

Not at all, because they excel (at the very highest levels) in so many other sports which require many of the same physical talents and abilities and field awareness. But for women you can't find ANY sports in which they can compete with men at the highest level. None ... save drag racing. Not even pool, which seems to have nothing to do with strength or quickness or anything.

Twitter went out of their way to take te side of a tranny that does some utter repulsive things to people...there is a thread at kiwi farms that goes into the insane detail.
The dude attacked her, and she called him an ugly man, and she got banned. Meanwhile, the tranny is publicly musing about how to talk to 10 year olds on the ferry about inserting tampons.
Fucking twitter...who the fuck makes those decisions, why is there so much trans bullshit everywhere all the time.

So which is it. Are you saying that Pro Drag racing doesn't involve good reactions, timing, and motor skills under high G forces and with significant risks and thus proves that women do have the abilities for other similar roles, just as how minority men performing in other sports proves that it isn't ability that keeps them from rising to the top of motorsports.
Or are you intimating that your argument excusing minority men from being in the top of motorsports is somehow different from women who are actually at the top of a motorsport?

I'm saying that being able to excel in one particular sport out of so many isn't the greatest argument for the quality one can expect from women (fighter) pilots. It certainly says that the numbers of women becoming pilots is wildly out of proportion to the very, very few that one would expect could actually compete with the men on an even basis, without ever expecting to get more than one or two elite women pilots over a decade or two.
