“Top Gun was a coming out movie in Blockbuster clothing!”
There is no greater tragedy in literature than the closeted homosexual struggle between Tom Cruise’s Maverick and his doomed sidekick, Anthony Edwards’ Goose, in the eighties gay classic Top Gun.
For thirty-seven years, men have wept as they watched and rewatched the dramatic scene where Mav and Goose, whom Mav calls “honey”, eject after a failed dog fight with Iceman and Goose is killed when he gets booted straight into the aircraft canopy.
With Goose’s succulent dick off the menu, Mav turns to Kelly McGillis’ Charlie Blackwood, although Blackwood’s empty hole is no match for Mav’s fantasy of Goose’s Herculean eggs and noble shaft hanging from the fork of his muscular legs.
As Quentin Tarantino once opined,
“You’ve got Maverick, all right? He’s on the edge, man…And you’ve got Iceman, and all his crew. They’re gay, they represent the gay man, all right? And they’re saying, go, go the gay way, go the gay way. He could go both ways. Kelly McGillis,v she’s heterosexuality. She’s saying: no, no, no, no, no, no, go the normal way, play by the rules, go the normal way. They’re saying no, go the gay way, be the gay way, go for the gay way, all right? That is what’s going on throughout that whole movie.”
Anyway, Anthony Edwards, who played Goose and who is now sixty years old can y’believe, is selling his spectacular Doheny house right there at 35145 Beach Road, Dana Point, in the guard-gated Capistrano Beach community.
Edwards bought the joint for one-and-a-half mill in 1998 and used it as vacay house with his fam.

You got 2100 square-feet of living space, five beds, five bathrooms, beamed ceilings, arched gateways and gorgeous French sorta doors, above, looking straight into the Pacific.
On a good day you might even see Pat O’Connell, a former sparring partner of Kelly Slater, a Chicago-born honey blonde with a little vibrating laugh and wrinkles on his face like cat whiskers, roaming the nearby Salt Creek lineup.

Are the meatheads talking about running at “the Box” yet?
At this time of year, the bigger fuckwits of the online surf community start talking about “running at the Box” when there is a snowball’s chance in hell of that ever happening.
haha, yeah, bang-on. the lifted ford ranger fuckwits all like: “oi cun when they gun run it at the box ay? sucha sick wave ‘n’ that heaps better than main break”
It seems this website is turning into more of an X-rated discussion group. Hope some young Grimmie doesn’t accidentally stumble on it and read this article as his first impressions of BG.
No wonder advertisers are a little hard to find -with this type of content.
Not unlike Twitter but with less gender fluid banter…and Bud ads
Don’t do twitter so wouldn’t know.
I’m on Twitter for Fintwit as the market info is quick to hit there. The wild side of twitter sucks as it pulls you in when nothing else is going on…if you allow it.
Twitter is shit. Don’t go there.

Derek your take is violently offensive as you missed the reality of this movie! Maverick secretly fantasized about tossing Iceman’s salad and none other. To make the mistake of asserting Goose was his fantasy tells me you didn’t grow up with a career USAF fighter pilot(Vietnam era when fighters pilots were still mostly militant hetero) for a father like I did.
Carry on!
Babe’s wife was a drunk. But today is Jackie Robinson appreciation day ’round the MLB ball fields. I’ll drink to both, but would rather have a beer with Jackie.
grindin alot of meat to try and make sausages, DR. classic spanish architecture in a mediteranean style be damned. no gay pool parties here, there, or anywhere…forever!
EW: your youthful optimism is a far stretch within this (Not One Ocean) sea of pestimistic grovelers. refreshing…
Thanks.

if you get a chance, watch Atlantic City with Burt Lancaster. He was a real man’s man!
The knowledge in DR’s writing just seems….so well researched.
Derek’s been watching honest trailers:
I always saw it as a volleyball movie interlaced with some flying stuff. Maverick was torn but found compromise in a lady named Charlie, a name oozing masculinity in this arena.
Well. Maybe just oozing
great point, T…size and girth of phallus don’t matter in v-ball. as a youngster I played mixed doubles on school yard cement against one Mike Dodd. He is the winninest pro VB player of all time. his partner was gorgeous; mine was not. it’s height that matters: we were both 5′ 7″ at the time. he grew to 6’3″…i’m still 5’7″…his wife is gorgeous…my ex- is not!
*oiled up beach bois…
Rad! Somehow I missed having to sit through the Gay version all these years… Winning!
will the beatings continue? Catholic church no longer list homo as a mortal sin, but is very concerned about gay-on-gay bashing. rock the mission walls? or as Elton sings: “Burn ’em down…” I never acknowledged Top Gunnery as a gay movie ’cause i’d want a piece of Kelly…McGillis, that is. unlike DR, I am fine with my hetero-self.

So bottom gun,too?
If you think about it Derek is kind of a phallic name. Visions of gushing surging oil wells.

El Segundo before they built Panchos just south in Manhattan Beach?
me thinks Huntington. but those damn wildcatters were gridded everywhere. prior to building condos, i found two unabandoned wells at the former Torrance Drive-in. the america’s first offshore oil dig was near the oil piers (VTA) and Carpinteria.
Early LA sounded wild, from my father shooting jackrabbits on the trollies to seeing those pics of oil wells on the beach.

What, no mention of the bulbous opening for those french doors… Surely there’s a rigid column somewhere in that joint you could’ve referenced
Very clever. And what a twist to Momentum Generation. I never knew! And, yeah, Chesser smiling in heaven. Can you imagine the existentialist horror if a hung stud got to your bereaved wife?
A girl has gotta get her kicks, am I right?
Run the damn article of me giving you fallatio. Will blow Baldy’s mind.
