Top Gun, the 1986 Tom Cruise classic, is being retold one screen-grab at a time. Really.
In a strange act of fanaticism for the movie, the Twitter account 555 µHz is tweeting each scene from the movie. It began on Jan. 23 with a blank picture.

Slowly, the movie began to take shape as the introduction credits rolled and the plot began.

Like clockwork, the account posts a new screengrab every 30 minutes, complete with dialogue.

The account isn't following anyone, and at the time of writing had shy of 500 followers. The Twitter bio offers no description or reason for the tweets. Maybe the slow pace of tweets will soften the blow of -- spoiler alert -- Goose's death.
