No. Not in a million years. Ever.

There is nothing more hopeless than the never-dies idea that something happening currently will jack up prices on a game.

This happens all the time. When the T3 movie came out (remember that piece of shit?) there were people who insisted their T2 game was worth more. When Hugh Hefner died people thought their Playboy would rise in value.

THIS NEVER HAPPENS. EVER. The news cycle is simply too quick and attention spans are simply too short for any of this shit to matter. It might make for good Craigslist or eBay copy but the affect on any actual prices is completely nil.

The idea that an unofficial knockoff like F14 would rise in value because of a decades-late sequel that will be in theaters for a month is even more ridiculous.

I'm thinking if this one has an even gayer, more homoerotic volleyball scene F-14 prices will go through the roof.

If they dial it back in this one and there's less ass-grabbing, F-14 prices may fall.

Do you feel lucky?!

Quoted from VacFink:

I grew up on this movie and never saw the volley ball scene this way until pointed out by another friend much later in life. Some things are better remembered.

Hmm.

Better not think too much about all those locker room scenes, guys talking about "hard ons" and looking into each other's eyes and saying "don't tease me," and the part where iceman gnashes his teeth at Mav.

It's all here in the honest trailer!

Quoted from TheLaw:

A slightly untrue version of something. As I recall there is never actually any tail-riding talk it's "wingman"
Also a famous lesson on "intellectual Property."

Yeah the line is "wingman" for sure!

But he makes a pretty strong case.
