TOP GUN is one of everyone’s favorite movies. Really, everyone who sees it loves it. Did when you first watched it, whether 1986 or last week. And invariably, for the nostalgia or the fight scenes or the quotability or the bromoerotica, you still hold it near and dear to your movie-heart. I make the point, in my latest AMC Movie Blog entry, that TOP GUN might be the definitive 80’s movie. It has everything we loved and have come to expect about 80’s movies, from bratty adolescent behavior and angst-fueled rebellion to a blond douchebag who constantly antagonizes our lead (The Zabka Factor) and, of course, Tom Cruise, before we all thought he ruled over Crazytown from high atop Mount Saint Nutbag. All that’s missing from TOP GUN to round out the Totally 80’s-ness is legwarmers and a dance-off. Like, for reals, TOP GUN totally has lock on and tone on being the ultimate 80’s movie.
About me
Hi, my name is Nick Stevens. And welcome, (you), to my weblog cabin, where a warm, cozy, punderful time can always be had. I created this as a showplace for the stuff I do as a Comedian/Host/Actor type who talks pop-culture, sports and snacks with great relish (underrated condiment!) It's also where I like to share thoughts, nonsense and stuff. Yeah, that's how I wanted to write that. But, visitor be warned: if you don't like rimshots, nachos, "Star Wars", fake mustaches or the New England Patriots then I suggest you leave now.
