Annapolis, MD (WTF). For the fifth consecutive year, Midshipmen voted the movie Top Gun as the Most Annoying Wardroom Flick. Some noted that the increase in negativity toward the movie indicates that even future airdales are tiring of the once worshipped movie."It just gets so damned played out," said Midn 1/c Jason "Smooth" Pyle of 13th Company. "I mean everytime I go into the wardroom somebody has it on. Or worse...somebody will quote Top Gun in a bar out in town. I hate that s*%t!"
But still, many future aviators cling to the movie like Saran Wrap. Its cult following, while diminished, is still very strong on the Yard.
Question: Which wardroom movie annoys you the most?
Top Gun 51%
Crimson Tide 24%
Blackhawk Down 11%
A Few Good Men 9%
Others 5%
Other Midshipmen have turned sour of Tom Cruise himself. "He was sooooo hot," explained Midn 2/c Ginny Scales of 4th Company. "But now he's one of those Scientology weirdos who believes that a spacecraft landed here and all that stuff. He's a freak now."
LT Bill Jones, Academy Public Affairs spokesman, told Salty Sam that he remembers Top Gun playing in the wardroom when he was a Midshipman. "That movie was almost looped in my wardroom. If it weren't for Friends and Seinfeld, I'd have never known anything else."
VADM Jeff Fowler, Academy Superintendent, is considering instituting an emergency Top Gun ban in all wardrooms until second semester.
