Top Gun Maverick

Opened up the office and paraded around for half an hour before anyone else turned up. And by 'paraded' I mean I manically brewed coffee, set out pastries, yoghurts and fruit all for our team going out on recces. The day was pretty chill afterwards though, just ran errands as they cropped up and made dream come true... Again, mostly in the food department but we gotta start somewhere.

Being in early meant leaving early too so Rebecca and I had a chance to watch another Tom Cruise recent blockbuster: Top Gun: Maverick. Though I can't remember virtually a single plot point of the original, I can tell you this new one if flat-out better. It nails the academy style 'lets train the best to be even better' narrative beats and bolts in some high octane action to boot. It's innovation to effectively mount a go pro to fighter jets provides footage that always stuns and the film manages to honour it's own past without getting high on it's own supply. Solid, solid, solid.
