haha no way..  I knew something was familiar about the video from just the thumbnail.  This 7/11 is super close to my house, I walk by it every day on my way to work.  But yeah, concept is ace :ok: also the youtube comments are hilarious

Ha, they flipped that most iconic lyric on its head.   Oddly I was thinking about Beta Band earlier today for the first time in... I don't know how long.  They were a band I kept meaning to check out but never got around to.

Oh man, def familiarise yourself with The Three EPs and the s/t LP. They were the first proper band I saw live when I was 14 or 15. I was a big fanboy.

To keep it real and analog, I'm gonna start posting to WATMM by writing my posts in fountain pen on hemp paper, putting them in bottles, and throwing them into the ocean.

It's Heartbreak Ridge but with 4k HD jet porn. Looks like a fun, needless, and predictable rehashing of the first films iconic scenes. A i can't retire / this is all I know / i don't play by the rules" vibe akin but with some commentary on drones. ironically Top Gun had dogfights that were plausible in 1986 but by then aerial warfare was BVR (beyond visual range) and missile-oriented and just about every 'dogfight' after the 70s in combat has been that way - tense and fascinating - but stuff that doesn't translate well for action in movies.

Here's the rub, it's going to run this course and get wacky in the last 30-45 minutes. Some wacky convoluted plot involving them having to use a F-14 in storage will occur - it will be Iron Eagle-esque in the 20 minutes. to quote a YT comment they'll say something like 'the F-35's aviotics are hacked, the F-18 is too slow / short range, we can't launch F-22s or F-15s off a carriers" etc. Or they tie in Iran's existing F-14 fleet in somehow via some disguised secret mission. I can picture it now..."It's an old code, but it checks out"- says vaguely Iranian Star Wars Imperial officer

He's going to be tasked with some Iron Eagle-esque mission requiring him to fly an old F-14 that will 'rise from the ashes like a PHOENIX, use the retired long-range AIM-54 PHOENIX, and then when the day is won he'll pass on his legacy to a young pilot with the call sign...get this, PHOENIX. Then he'll get his mid-life crisis on and ride off into the sunset on his motorcycle while some younger pilot flys by the way Lightening McQueen races Cruz at the end of Cars 3.
