Top Gun: Discussion Forum

[elevated_u2_fan]

not at all, I find it kind of refreshing...

See, while you were thinking about this stuff, I was looking at Kelly.

Perv.

this comment blends perfectly into another theory: is Top Gun a straight minstrel show?

Hmmm. How do you mean?

 

[joyfulgirl]

I saw Top Gun once, in the theatre in 1986. I barely remember it. What I'm wondering is how the guys in this thread (besides Irvine) know this movie so intimately. Multiple viewings, perhaps? Is Interference the gayest straight forum ever?

Homophobe.

in a minstrel show, white people dress in blackface and perform stereotypical impersonations of black people.

in Top Gun, gay people dress in straightface and perform steroetypical impersionations of straight people?

the rub -- heh-heh -- being that only a white person could perform a black stereotype so thoroughly, and hatefully; likewise, only a gay person could perform a straight stereotype so thoroughly, and ... well, maybe not hate, but certainly mockery.

yes, we make fun of you people behind your backs.

but don't tell anyone.

Well, I was 12 when it came out. I liked fighter jets (I prefered USAF F-15s over USN F-14s, but you take when you can get) and Kelly McGillis. I watched it a lot.

I didn't notice any gay overtones until much later, when Quentin Tarantino pointed it out. I think, however, by that time, I knew the movie sucked. Yeah, that's correct, I did, cause I remember saying to my friend Brian once, while he was rubbing my back with baby oil, "Wow, this really IS gay" and he was like, "No, no it's not, man, why you gotta, can two friends just sit around and rub - ", and then I pointed at the TV cause Top Gun was on and I said, "Whoa man, chill, I'm talking 'bout Top Gun" and he was all, "Oh, yeah. That movie is gay. Did we miss the volleyball scene?" And I was like, "God, I hope not."

Well that was my question. Have we decided then that Top Gun is a gay movie pretending to be straight?

Or is like brokeback mountain in which the actors are secretly gay in real life, but causing a stir by playing openly gay figures on screen?

i keep a document of great Interference quotes that i want to save and remember. i haven't added to it in a while, mostly because FYM has gone way downhill in recent months.

this quote is going in that document.

Paul?

Paul is that you? I thought we said we would never tell anyone about that?

might there be a sequal? "Bottom RPG?"

I didn't use your real name, man. Relax.

a little fyi though Keeping a pictureof Patrick Swayze in your avatar isn't really hiding anything, if you know what I mean.

The Swayze picture is like a double reverse in football. Think about it.

This thread is becoming the highlight of my afternoon.

I don't watch football. Is that like a "flea flicker"? What would a double reverse be in hockey terms?

Plus Swayze is NOT gay. Would a gay man ever say something as straight as this: "If somebody gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to remember that it's a job. It's nothing personal."

End of story.

You know I don't watch hockey. Should I explain it with an illustration from modern dance?

I didn't say Swayze was gay. He's not the one with a Patrick Swayze avatar.

But you're probably right. Gay guys wouldn't do the whole "be nice" thing cause gay guys probably know "nice guys" don't get any.

ah, Keanu.

another actor we all know is gay but who plays it straight so he can play straight guys in movies who seem really gay.
