A lot of the time we're arguing about college basketball, although lately (unfortunately for me) there's been quite a bit of politics talk. And the sides are always different; sometimes it's me and Horp vs. Noles and Jonye, sometimes it's me and Noles vs. Horp and Jonye, sometimes it's one person against the other three (in which case, the majority just beats down the lone wolf's argument until it degenerates into a barrage of "Boom Roasted" jokes.) If it's about politics, it's usually Noles and Jonye vs. Horp, while I'm busy googling words like "Democrat", "Republican", and "Congress" so I can follow the conversation.
Anyway, a couple days ago the movie Top Gun was our topic of discussion. Noles and Horp are of the opinion that it is a straight-up awesome movie. Jonye and I, on the other hand, think it's only awesome because it's so unintentionally ridiculous and homoerotic. I'll watch it every time it's on TV, since it's kind of a guilty pleasure, but I would never plunk down the $15 to own the DVD.
Various arguments were bandied about, with both sides making good points, which I won't mention so as to avoid influencing anyone's opinion. We're deadlocked at 2-2, so now we're turning it over to you.
Assuming you like Top Gun (and let's be honest, who doesn't?) do you like it because you think it's badass and a legitimately good movie, or do you like it because it's stupid, but a guilty pleasure?
Is this an intense, well-acted scene that signifies a turning point in the rivalry between Iceman and Maverick? Or is it just super gay?
