Mission: Impossible

When I heard Abrams, those were two things I was expecting, and he delivered.

Helicopter chase through windmills was asinine. They are in HELICOPTERS, fly ABOVE the blades.

The helicopter being chased was "trynna lose 'em" among the windmill blades, and I loved the way they established that the windmill blades were massive and threatening before they had a helicopter run into one of 'em. Pretty great scene, actually.

I agree that the wind farm scene wasn't all that hot, but who cares if the wind farm was actually in CA. This is an American movie. If we can export our pop culture, we can export our disdain for geography. For M:I:X, I hope a computer-generated Tom Cruise jumps from the top of the Eiffel Tower onto the Kremlin. California? Is that the one shaped like a boot, or the one that invented clocks?

What, they don't fall over when they are struck by missiles that just missed the good guys, and their blades don't blow up bad guy hellicopters? 'Cause that was the important part. I'm pretty sure they work that way when TOM CRUISE IS KICKING ASS.

Besides, these are German windmills. Didn't the Germans invent them to run their dikes in La Mancha? I suppose you think think THEY DON"T KNOW HOW TO BUILD COPTER KILLING MACHINES IN LA MANCHA.

PWN3D!

Who would play Cantiflas?

nu-uh.

sort of think 1 is better than 3, but only marginally. they should have used PSH more.

love 1, can't remember 3. trying to watch it now but tv reception is going bonkers.

interesting fact: you remember the train roof that Cruise flails about and leaps from in MI1 ? My dad built that roof. yay.

3 is so rad

if 2 had been anywhere near as good the trilogy could be a legit bourne rival imo

besr florida keys bridge attack since true lies

lol @ brontosaurus on this thread

3 is really great yeah

love my argument with brontosaurus.

i can't even remember that scene now

but i gotta see this again soon

oh i remember the bridge attack, yeah that was good.

did cheers cop out by never showing vera?

the big quez

Musgrave: I thought you could get her back. But I wasn't going to let all people, to let Brassel to undo the work I've done. I took action, Ethan. On the behalf of all working families of America, the Army force, the white house. I've had enough of Brassel and his sanctimony. IMF director, he's an affirmative action poster boy. You grabbed Davian like he wanted, then what? Davian is a weed. You cut him down and two more springs he's just like the next day. Arrest him, then what? You use him. Collaborate with him. Then it's Christmas. In 18 hours, the Rabbit's foot will be sent to its Middle East buyer, we've got the Intel to prove that. Then the UN counsil will have an emergency meeting, we're taking a military strike in a week. Then when the sand settles, our country will do what it does best: cleaning-up, infrastructure, democracy wins.

3 rad

Uh:

"Mission: Impossible IV," which once seemed truly impossible, is taking shape at Paramount.

Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams have agreed to co-produce the sequel, which is aimed at a 2011 release.

The return of Cruise to Par itself is surprising in view of the circumstances surrounding his departure in August 2006. Apparently irked by the heft of Cruise’s deal, among other issues, Viacom chief Sumner Redstone abruptly terminated the 14-year relationship between the star and the studio. Cruise’s then-CAA agent, Rick Nicita, termed Redstone’s decision “shockingly offensive and graceless.”

The rift led to Cruise becoming the chief of United Artists and taking a more active role in production decisions. Redstone, meanwhile, has sought to heal the relationship. At a recent appearance, he described the star as “a great actor and a good friend.”

The “Mission” installment would augment Paramount’s formidable array of sequels, which will include “Star Trek 2” and a third “Transformers.”

Work on “Mission: Impossible IV” would inevitably be delayed by the busy schedules of the participants.

Abrams will be responsible for guiding the “Star Trek” sequel, while Cruise recently committed to an untitled pic (formerly called “Wichita”) for 20th Century Fox that will be directed by James Mangold and co-star Cameron Diaz.

And here we go.

Uh.

Damn you for starring in this Jeremy Renner. I liked you.

pretty stoked for this, the ~advance buzz~ is really good, so far M:I2 is the only dud in the series

with you on that 100% my man

"ghost protocol" is such a hilarious video game name

wait I had no idea 3 was any good

i wish it was Ghost: Protocol so they could cram 3 colons in there

"ghost protocol" is such a hilarious video game name

i read that as 'ghost recon'

its pretty good iatee! philly seymo hoffman steals the show

is there an actual team? what bothered me most about 2 was how crappy and nonexistent the team was.

ghost, protocol

nah its p much the cruise solo show - that looks to be something they're rectifying with M:I:4:GP

theres definitely team aksh in mi3!!

the whole vatican bit is a classic old-school mission impossible con-game setpiece

I just feel like "mission impossible" is such a team concept

MI3 has team action but its not a team movie, imo

Mission Impossible 5: Dubai Skill Set

so far M:I2 is the only dud in the series

i still think it's john woo's best hollywood film and better than the third one (abrams is such a generic director so far)

kind of funny renner has signed on to do bourne part the fourth... does that mean he stays with the m: i franchise too? worried

xpost

u mad

u maaaaaad
