or as a lead up to the general release of the movie itself, more fan experience is available for those in the LA area, (rather than down south in San Diego and Coronado) who would like to visit another movie location from the movie (including indoor setting) - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post15798829

P.S.
And for you UKers, what better way to complete the last week in May than by watching Top Gun: Maverick in a theater on May 27th and seeing the 2022 Isle of Mann TT starting on the 28th –

Hopefully better than the meet-up at the bar, back when we were young - “I don’t know….but it’s looking good so far” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljVYMs3s-B4#t=4m3s

b.t.w., there is a real naval aviator (who is a member of one of the strike fighter squadrons that took part in Top Gun: Maverick) and who has a call sign made famous (or infamous?) by the original Top Gun movie (1986). His actual helmet - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post19290937

And, importantly, let us not forget advanced screening(s) for some of our armed services personnel, e.g. -

These days I think it is challenging for any movie that has a reasonable basis (assuming, for sure, some element of creative license thrown in to make the storyline and characters more dramatic) a reasonable basis involving more life-like people and potentially more real-life possible situations, to perform at the box office as well as what audiences are more drawn to these days, e.g. completely fictitious comic book heroes and waay outlandish (in terms of reality) storylines - https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/2021/

I have my own theory as to why this be, at least in regards to adults and not children, but I think that best be left to social scientists and such. Hopefully, Top Gun: Maverick will achieve some degree of entertainment success and also inspire like the original Top Gun movie did.

Scheduled for Monday - https://abc.com/shows/jimmy-kimmel-l...2/#:~:text=Tom

As the May 2 show is sold out - https://1iota.com/show/1/jimmy-kimmel-live , you’ll have to catch it on TV or from a video snippet on their YouTube channel. Similar situation with James Corden (May 3 show sold out) - https://1iota.com/show/439/the-late-...h-james-corden - who, for the sake of those unfamiliar with the Brit, has had some quite humorous experiences not only with Tom, but other guests too (Edi won the contest), advised mature content esp. with Bob and eating the bananas –

Just saw the trailer for this on ESPN.

As bad as I fully expect this to be, I feel electricity running through my body right now.

Pure, 100%, beach volleyball-induced electricity.

I just hope it’s not as bad as Rocky 5.

..I don’t know if I survive that.

My local theater is offering a Top Gun Tuesday event on May 24th. Early showing ticket also includes a Helmet pin, print, and an NFT. I’m not sure if the larger chains are offering something similar but I’ll pay out of pocket for that.

I have the UHD release of the original scheduled for delivery tomorrow.
