ryan reynolds goncharovposting for the first time and talking in the tags in a gonchlighting manner but also mindfully and properly tagging it as unreality will go down in my history books
thinking about how this top gun maverick poster had two planes in it originally but val kilmer made someone remove the other one so he could post a gay meme of his own character on valentine’s day
we’ve done twitter and tumblr but i’m curious to know what’s a letterboxd review that you can cite like the back of your hand. this review genuinely made me think film spelled backwards was milf for the longest time
and for my next trick: tom cruise cutting through the cheers and applauses with “can i just say...” just to let everyone know he’s val kilmer number one fan
i cant fucking believe someone actually asked if val had came up with a backstory for icemav and his actual reply was “no haha i just think about them every day :) x”
celebrating what would have been paul newman’s 99th birthday looking at this photo of him in 1977 enjoying a four and a half hour concert in support of gay rights
went back to see dead reckoning again today and there was a group of girls who booked the front row for themselves and i kept thinking about that one tweet that goes “its nice to see girls giggling and cheering for tom cruise still after forty years”
entertaining myself with the idea that the dogfight football scene in top gun maverick is not only a homage to the ‘86 beach volleyball scene but also to the beach football scene in paul newman’s sometimes a great notion (1971)
very sick and twisted creative decision that you can actually see ice reflected off of his aviators the moment before he takes it off and they're finally seeing each other eye to eye for the first time
no but you gotta understand this val kilmer didnt want to do top gun at first but he gave iceman daddy issues and spent his time on set annoying the shit out of tom cruise and still accidentally played one of the most iconic characters in one of the most iconic movies of all time
obsessed that glen powell inherits both tom cruise’s thirst for adrenaline AND val kilmer’s social media presence and marketing skills. unstoppable love child
idk who needs to hear this but there is a certain kind of awareness and embracement in the top gun fandom to the fact that it was military funded that has made its original intention somewhat counter-effective compared to the constant dismissal and denial from the other side
spartan (2004) will always be my favorite val kilmer movie for a lot of reasons but mainly because it has shots of val just vibing and wandering around while snacking on an apple and most importantly looking very hot doing it
Glen Powell got a masterclass from Tom Cruise on being a movie star while on the Top Gun: Maverick set and — the boy is taking NOTES!!! You see that wisp of hair? It’s no accident!!!
