Top Gun Sequel
This should be fun. I was a freshman in college when the original hit the theaters. Now, I'll be bringing my kids to this one...
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
I Took a speed reading course in college and got to 800 words per minute with better comprehension but it took most of the pleasure out of reading. Besides, it was useless for my fields of interest- chemistry, physics, and mathematics. I now just read prose slowly to create mental images and to recognize that a sentence doesn't make sense when my brain reads a word wrong. Same for technical text.
A dootcr has aimttded the magltheuansr of a tageene ceacnr pintaet who deid aetfr a hatospil durg blendur.
That sentence follows the “rule” to the letter. But it didn’t flow, did it? The main reason is that the meme you reference was designed to fool you by preserving phonetics and providing context with enough correct words that you don’t actually read the words but assume them, and your brain tells you you read them. This is a big part of why vocabulary and syntax matters: it lets you not read words and still gain the understanding of the text. This is a big part of how speed readers do our thing: not reading the bits you don’t need to. And yes, at speed a misspelled word can cut your rate down by half or more.
It was a great movie because everything was in synch: the visual effects, the soundtrack, the characters and the scenery. I especially loved the soundtrack, next to the F-14s.
It has been said that "Casablanca" became an all time classic because all the actors were perfectly in place.
Well, maybe not in all over greatness but Top Gun is a classic in its genre.
I expect they'll throw in a few gays not as innocent as Wolfman and Hollywood were in Top Gun.
From the article: "It will be interesting to see if Top Gun: Maverick's brand of testosterone-fueled, pro-military entertainment flies (sorry) as well with modern audiences as Top Gun's did when it opened in 1986." I suspect as much as the PC propaganda machine has been working overtime to convert the boys to girls, one good flick could set it all straight - depending how deep the damage is.
For example:
"Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteers be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe."
The remake is all ready... to play in China.
"He may feel the need … to appease China."
Can't have a Taiwanese Flag on Maverick's jacket.

What a hoot!
Whenever I traveled to San Diego, I always made time to drive to Miramar to watch the fighter planes taking off and landing. There is nothing else coming close to the sensation.
Don't know about a sequel. If past experience is of any indication, sequels rarely live up to expectations and rightly so. Most of them are snoozers. But of course it may not be this time.
Thanks for the heads up.
