The movie is 'Sleep with me' and the clip goes like this (Sid is Quentin Tarantino):
Sid: You want subversion on a massive level. you know What One of The Greatest fucking scripts ever written in The history of Hollywood is? Top Gun.
Duane: Oh, come on.
Sid: Top Gun is fucking great. What is top gun? You think it's a story about a bunch of fighter pilots.
Duane: It's about a bunch of guys waving their dicks around.
Sid: It is a story about a man's struggle with his own homosexuality. It is! That is what Top Gun is about, man. You've got Maverick, all right? He's on the edge, man. He's right on the fucking line, all right? 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.
Duane: What about Kelly McGillis?
Sid: Kelly McGillis, 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... He goes to her house, all right? It looks like they're going to have sex, you know, they're just kind of sitting back, he's takin' a shower and everything. They don't have sex. He gets on the motorcycle, drives away. She's like, "What the fuck, what the fuck is going on here?" Next scene, next scene you see her, she's in the elevator, she is dressed like a guy. She's got the cap on, she's got the aviator glasses, she's wearing the same jacket that the Iceman wears. She is, okay, this is how I gotta get this guy, this guy's going towards the gay way, I gotta bring him back, I gotta bring him back from the gay way, so I'll do that through subterfuge, I'm gonna dress like a man. All right? That is how she approaches it. Okay, now let me just ask you - I'm gonna digress for two seconds here. I met this girl Amy here, she's like floating around here and everything. Now, she just got divorced, right? All right, but the Real ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating The Russians, the gays are beating The Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!" Swordfight! Swordfight! Fuckin' A, man!

Top Gun is basically the ultimate homosexual film—capital H, obviously—which makes sense if you think about it, since Tony Scott was gay just like Jerry Bruckheimer. Even Tarantino was out there wrestling with his own sexuality. And look at Slater’s character in True Romance, clearly wanting to karate Elvis. Then you’ve got Ving Rhames doing the same thing with the hillbilly. So subtle, right?😁
But hold up—this isn't even from Quentin Tarantino. It’s common knowledge he rips stuff off, and now he’s gone and swiped this dialogue too, probably thinking nobody would actually catch him. That whole bit is straight out of a review by critic Pauline Kael from back in the 80s.
Don't get me wrong, Top Gun is still a total blast to watch, but let's be honest—the movie is aggressively homoerotic. It's basically a massive subtext about homosexuality in the US military (I mean, we've all heard about those scandals involving male orgies in the service, right?). Nothing crazy, just vibes. 😁
And I see someone dropped a link to the site from Maddox. Man, Maddox was a legend. Easily the greatest internet satirist and troll to ever do it. I used to spend so much time reading his stuff back in the early 2000s—followed him religiously—but I haven't hit up thebestpageintheuniverse in ages.
