It's always funny how when I'm looking for something to write about, something that I've noticed or discussed in the days beforehand always seems to relate to whatever it is that I find.
On that note, today is TOP GUN Day.
Well, at least according to blogger IceMan at www.topgunday.com, who not only has an entire site dedicated to Top Gun, but who, it would appear, loves the show so much that he's decided to try and have 13th May be forever labelled as Top Gun Day.
Top Gun is an American action/drama film that follows Tom Cruise as Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a young Naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. He and his Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw (played by Anthony Edwards) are given the chance to train at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School. The film follows Maverick's progress through the training, his romance with a female instructor (Kelly McGillis) and his journey to overcome a crisis of confidence following a fatal training accident.
The film was first released in 1968. However, a 3D re-release has been nominated for 2012.
So 'call the ball' and participate in Top Gun Day because, as IceMan says, "it's like talk like a pirate day, only way cooler."
Sure thing IceMan. Sure thing.
