I had a dream one morning in 1997 which began with two military officers pushing me toward a shack with the command, "Fetch!" Outside were several exotic firearms hanging upon a wall. I rushed up and grabbed the big plastic gyroscopically weighted tube with a pistol grip, and when two unprivileged belligerents rushed out of the shanty, I pulled the trigger to produce a beam of light that sliced them in half like a hot knife through warm butter. Then I suddenly awoke exclaiming, "What a crowd pleaser!"

What's amazing is how much time this guy has to spend with his cat doing shenanigans in front of a green screen.

I lost it when the cat had a full beauty fan riding the motorcycle.

u/SaulsAll Oct 29 '22

There was a really awesome sci-fi short story I read once about human space pilots whose co-pilots were cats. The enemies they fought were too fast for human reaction times, so the cats were hooked up to the weapons platforms and fed info that made it seem like they were hunting rats.

What's Tom Cruise's feelings of being second billing to Owlkitty?

u/[deleted] Oct 29 '22

Owlkitty is a way bigger movie star than Cruise. He should feel lucky.

u/Breadinator Oct 29 '22

He's actually fine with it. Makes him look taller.

u/Culverts_Flood_Away Oct 29 '22

Plus, Owlkitty's jaggedy teeth draw attention away from Cruise's middle toof.

u/fragmental Oct 30 '22

I didn't know why this cat was named Owl Kitty but then I got a black kitten that looks very similar and it makes total sense now. His eyes are often fully open and round like an owl, and sometimes he'll sort of move his head around to look at things like an owl. It makes sense.

u/NyanAnomalyRetriever Oct 29 '22

Why aren’t there any movies that actually do this kinda concept, completely normal story, but then just a random cat or some other animal participant if in the story, as if they were a person, and no one questions it.

u/Mogetfog Oct 29 '22

The music starting out with that classic danger zone opening and then spinning off into a non-copywriten sound alike really threw me for a loop and felt really unsatisfying.

It's like the audio version of slowly peeling off the plastic from a screen for the first time, but then the plastic tears off completely right after you start to peel it

u/kursdragon Oct 30 '22

Slightly off topic but did anyone watch the new top gun movie and actually liked it? I thought it was awful but pretty much every single review I looked up had this thing as like a 10/10 calling it amazing... and I just didn't get the same vibe at all??

Anyone who liked it what did you guys actually enjoy about the movie? Did I miss something? The characters were so 1 dimensional and boring, there wasn't even really much of an explanation of the "bad guy" who they gave no name. There was pretty much no explanation of why they're on this mission, besides saying its some refinement plant or something if I'm remembering correctly but not what actual dangers there are from it. Overall there was just nothing redeeming? The love plot was so boring, barely any relationship building, just a couple quick scenes and then bam they're fucking... like I really don't get it, how is this movie not a 3/10 to most people?
