They're gonna have to cast someone not very famous, right? I can't imagine Idris Elba or Michael B Jordan wanting to commit to 10 years of pretty much only James Bond.

A brief bit of research suggests that it's a pretty questionable fact, unfortunately
Broccoli itself has been around for thousands of years and the name is just an Italian word (plural of broccolo, which is a diminutive of brocco, meaning shoot or sprout), originally dating to about the 1690s
That doesn't entirely discount the story, but I'd think twice before repeating it for sure

Okay that's a little more reasonable
If I met a guy named William Bread I'd assume his family was big in the bread business, not that bread was named after him and they invented it

It’s all variations of the mustard plant so I find it plausible that they made a new variation and got it named after them.

I'm kind of assuming it was a sales tactic more than anything - the first members of the Broccoli family in America were selling produce, it's a fun story, and it gets taken at face value. I can't find anything else about the Carrera Broccolis, it all traces back to that same story.

Oh I think it's very funny, to be clear
Honestly in some ways funnier for it not to be true, to just be insistent on the fact that they invented broccoli
Now that I can rent Top Gun: Maverick for a not-exorbitant price, I watched that tonight.
A little heavy on the nostalgia but for the most part they crammed it all into the first 10 minutes so I appreciate that. I'm glad they kept the character stuff pretty barebones. It would have been really easy to just overdo all of it with dialogue but they used a lot of silence letting your brain fill in the gaps. Plus, real people just don't say anything to each other a whole lot. I didn't know about Val Kilmer's health but I figured it wasn't a choice for the movie so I did a little quick googling to read up on that. Apparently he had his voice recreated with AI to save for film work but they didn't use that at all for the film, so kind of the opposite of the shit some studios have done. All of the plane stuff was very cool. I bet those scenes were awesome with a theater sound system. Did not miss out on the intensity though. I kinda found it funny that they did not directly mention who the enemy was at any point but then here's an Su-57 and the iconic Mi-24. I wonder how much influence the US military had in production considering the use of jets and carriers. Obviously the military propaganda is present although I would have expected it to be more in your face. Maybe specifically calling out Russia as the enemy in the present day would be a bad move. But in that case, just create some unique aircraft designs for them, or use something a bit more ubiquitous. Or maybe it just doesn't matter and I'm overthinking it. Anyway, zoom zoom jets are cool.

also Ana De Armas should be a recurring character and/or get her own spin-off

It’s lucky Dave is so jacked because he’s no doubt carrying that movie.
Anyway that’s all my posts for the movie. I hope you have enjoyed my new time saving posting style.
It hasn't saved me any time because I put a jazzy standup bass solo between the lines.
I am extremely curious if/when M Night sticks with the ending

There's actually a producer with the same name as me and every so often people will be like "You worked on Game of Thrones? What's Kit like?"
This may end up being trash but God help me I'm a sucker for that establishing shot with the text over everything. Damm you Russo brothers!
Is this the film version of Cabin At The End Of The World? Because that's like the exact same set up.
