who cares about dan and phil, mcq/tom cruise confirmed domestic partnership when
Top Gun (1986) || Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
McQ this is actually a crazy thing to come up with and write down
Here's more of that section of the interview.
Let’s talk about this film’s relationship to these other crime films. While fitting very comfortably into the genre, it also tends to amplify some of its standard elements. For instance, the whole male-bonding thing is really pushed to the limits here, resulting in some very homoerotic moments— It’s very homoerotic in the script. Was this something you were deliberately trying to push the envelope on? I have a lot of gay friends and so there’s a lot of gay humor floating around; there’s always just a lot of that sort of imagery going on in our conversations. A lot of it was subconscious. One of the few things from the script that didn’t make it into the film was part of the scene that takes place after they’ve hit New York’s Finest Taxi Service. As it’s written, they’re all drinking beers. McManus says, “My boy with the plan!” to Verbal, and they all start pouring their beers on him. The white foam from the beer is pouring all over Verbal—they’re just foaming all over him—as he’s being accepted by these men. Anyway, a lot of this stuff became apparent afterwards. Hockney, for instance, is one of the more homoerotic characters in the story. When we were redubbing Verbal’s voiceover introducing his character—“Todd Hockney, without a doubt the one guy who didn’t give a fuck about anybody”—we thought about having Kevin Spacey say instead, “Todd Hockney, without a doubt a closet homosexual’,” because, when you watch the film through that prism, he’s such a flamer. Everything is just “cocksucker, cocksucker.” The thing about “I’ll fuck your father in the shower.” “I live in Queens.” It just went on and on and on.
(also just noticed that he made sure to interject and specify that the homoeroticism was in the script, and therefore attributing it to himself. In a lot of his other answers in this interview before this one he does say several times that as a writer he has to give up the story to the director, so there are things in it that he didn't come up with. He's just making sure everyone knows he wrote it as homoerotic.)
TFR's first scene with Angela Bassett is the one of the first they shot, all the way back during Dead Reckoning, and therefore is the closest we get to seeing what Tom's hair looked like when McQ saw him at breakfast that one morning
I don't know how to share the special features (and I think they're still incomplete even on Fandango, no specific commentary for just the biplane sequence yet), but I can tell you that during the full movie commentary with Tom and McQ, Tom reveals that he had to sit in Esai's lap for takeoff and landing while filming some of the biplane stuff. That was a highlight for me.
we live in such a beautiful world
TC's personal photographer 🥺❤
Damn it’s crazy that they would be into that
i think tom cruise DOES Know A Guy who could take out elon but I think he knows them from his decades of stunt work and not through scientology
"And I just thought: they have the best relationship in the world. When they go home at night, they probably sit there and have dinner, and do what I got to experience for two hours on set. But they get to do it all the time."
my favorite McQ on letterboxd moment
"There's a certain safety in the danger of what it is we do."
this should not be a surprise to anyone btw he’s in “creative talks” with mcq about literally everything
"I foolishly showed Tom Cruise a TikTok video... of a guy, doing a stunt, involving that. And Tom said, "That's awesome! 😀😀😀 I could do that 😁", and I said, "No. You. will. NOT."
Here we gooooo
WHENNNNNN is McQ going to do a spoilercast for final reckoning . stop whatever you’re doing right now dude you need to podcast
They mentioned it on the mini interview on the main feed! Part one is "about three hours" and supposedly out in early June
