Top Gun: Discussion Forum

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.

Do you all hear that?


That's the sound of my world crashing down.

he'd be a better actor if he'd just come out

a lot of pent-up energy there

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I used to have a big crush on Tom Cruise and I thought that motorcycle kiss scene was the hottest thing ever.

When I saw Top Gun for me it was the straightest movie ever, in hindsight that you can decipher some gay undertones. At that time I didn't have much gay awareness either

 

[Irvine511]

agreed.

he's the poor man's Tom Cruise.

 

[LMP]

That would mean Keanu can act.

the only time Tom Cruise is ever acts is when he's doing a love scene.





*boom*TISH!

don't you worry.

he shall forever remain young, dumb, and full of .... nevermind.

This thread is becoming the highlight of my afternoon.

Mine too.

Beav's post earlier, the one Irvine is saving,...

thanks for the laughs!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

I must be naive but I don't think Tom or Keanu are gay. On the other hand I had crushes on both of them, so if it follows my gay man crush pattern maybe they are.

Keanu doesn't have to act, he just has to stand there and look adorable That surfer guy movie with Keanu and Patrick Swayze was his hottest period. That movie was sorta gay too

*boom*TISH!

As much as dislike Tom Cruise, he's a great actor, look at some of his roles:

The cocky football player
The cocky greaser
The cocky high-schooler dating a hooker
The cocky fighter pilot
The cocky bartender
The cocky pool player
The cocky racecar driver
The cocky lawyer (twice!)
The cocky vampire
The cocky sports agent
The cocky IMF agent (3 times!)
The cocky police officer in the future
The cocky last samurai
The cocky father

you get the point.

 

[Irvine511]

because THAT would BEEEEE a WASTE of TIIIIME!

Keanu's not gay... he's just misunderstood.

And totally scrumptious.

You forgot the cocky boxer in Far and Away. Yes I admit I have seen that movie, only once though.

The cocky greaser was one of my favorites from my youth.

"We're gonna do it for Johnny man!!!" Although that was Matt Dillon that said that.

I love this thread!!!

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

OMG, The Outsiders

lol

And in that movie, Tom Cruise tussles around in the living room with a lot of the other greaser kids. The signs are there, folks!

 

[mdw3935]

So true!!!

Wow, this picture brings up another very serious question has Ralph Macchio had his sex change yet?

Now there is a boy who was fighting his true self for WAY too long. A word of advice, Ralph, changing your last name to 'macho' is not the best method of proving your not gay ...


Seriously though - did the Karate Kid die? I haven't seen him in years. I bet that guy with the feathered hair finally 'swept the leg'.

 

[Irvine511]

so if Tom Cruise wins, and is the Top Gun, who, then, is his Bottom Gun?

[q]Iceman: You can be my wingman any time.
Maverick: Bullshit! You can be mine. [/q]



i suppose i have some problems, however, with how the film glamorizes unsafe sex. this was 1986. we well knew what AIDS was:

[q]Iceman: You two really are cowboys.
Maverick: What's your problem, Kazanski?
Iceman: You're everyone's problem. That's because every time you go up in the air, you're unsafe. I don't like you because you're dangerous.
Maverick: That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.[/q]

and note: Goose dies. metaphor? indeed.

 

[Irvine511]

more:

[q]Maverick: Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy, sir.
Stinger: Don't screw around with me Maverick. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't.[/q]



[q][watching a video of planes being shot down]
Wolfman: This gives me a hard on.
Hollywood: Don't tease me. [/q]



[q]Slider: Goose who's butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.[/q]

 

[LMP]

wow.

 

[Dalton]

There has been some mockery of Patrick Swayze in this thread that I am not comfortable with. True, its been subtle, but its mockery none the less.

Let us not forget Roadhouse.

Even Rambo took lessons from Dalton: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxpUaLD6LhI

[q]It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you. See ya. [/q]

 

[mdw3935]

Jed Eckert: It's kind of strange, isn't it? How the mountains pay us no attention at all. You laugh or you cry... The wind just keeps on blowing.

 

[Dalton]

Am I the only person noticing that this thread shared a similar career arch with Val Kilmer.

[UberBeaver]

Well this bit of info certainly throws this whole debate into a new light.....or does it?

[corianderstem]

Poor Kelly McGillis - 25 years later, she's just known as Top Gun Leading Lady?

I'd be all "Hellloooo, assholes, I was in Witness! and .... uh ... other movies since then!"
