Aging: Top Gun 2 Edition
Muddy
USA
The original Top Gun is one of my favorite movies. It's just so cheesy and awesome with a killer soundtrack and in my opinion the best cinematography ever although admittedly the movie was slightly gay. Top Gun 2, it's sequel, was supposed to come out already but now next year due to Covid. Much noise about the film has been how Tom Cruise hasn't seemed to change much in a 34 year gap. Lets compare.

The moral of the story when it comes to the passage of time, is be more like Tom Cruise and less like the normal humans. Anyway I'm stoked for this fucking movie and ready to say how much it sucked compared the first one.

It’s sad to see how both Val Kilmer and Kelly McGillis have aged. I think Val Kilmer looks like a complete nut job. Kelly McGillis looks like an average aging middle American woman - maybe a grandma type.
Back in the day I thought Val Kilmer was very good looking - at some point in the 90s or 2000s, he went downhill either thru drugs or mental issues; at one point he had put on a lot of weight.
Kelly McGillis ls unrecognizable - hard to believe how much she's let herself go after being a sex-symbol and one would think having the mean$ to maintain herself looking good; perhaps she's had health-issues which can take a toll on one's looks and motivation to look well.
Cruise is the youngest at 58, followed by Kilmer at 60, and McGillis at 63.
Women are total smoke shows in their 20s. Men in a lot of cases still look like 12 year olds. Then ageing really kicks in during the late 30s. Most women age like a gallon of milk, and some men age like a fine wine.
I think the secret is men can more easily lose weight, they look distinguished with grey hair, and a few wrinkles don't hurt them one bit. All those things are like kryptonite to women.
