Mission: Impossible

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

the opinion of a person who hasn't seen Face/Off or Hard Target

still lol to me that the writer behind chinatown wrote so many of these

1st one is a classic tho obv

lea seydoux is a hotty mchothot

New trailer:

psyched

same bro

*raises up hand for high five*

dude from the hurt locker!

betcha the secretary doesnt actually die

:D

jiminy fuckin christmas is this gonna own or what

it did not

It was decent, MI:3 was better, tho

Mrs. Thicke seemed like she was going to be really, really great for about 20 minutes and then the action stopped and she really became unbearable

I would watch the shit out of a Jeremy Renner/Simon Pegg buddy action flick

had to laugh at some of the cruise & renner two-shots; i have to think renner was cast because they're both like 5'3"

Mission: Fit In Yr Pocket

3 was definitely better. not really sure why this has such an insane rotten tomatoes score. the girls were pretty smokin though.

also "wait until you see the car" and then the awesome future mobile is stuck in traffic, no -_-

lol, I think possibly the answer to sentence 2 may lie in sentence 3

also I got shamed by my wife when I accidentally referred to Mrs Thicke as "John Legend's girlfriend"

at some point I will remember/look up her name

whut, is Mrs Thicke some kinda Diana Rigg vixen?

pretty much, yes

MI4 is the best in the series by a country mile, i dont think ive enjoyed a hwood action movie this much in a few years

perfectly paced, the dubai sequence - from the tower scaling to the meetings to the sandstorm chase - was really remarkable. bird's a natural storyteller. the tower climb was terrifying in IMAX, i was grippin my arm rests for dear life the entire time.

there's a lot of nitpicks to be made, but again the pacing is so good that they mostly don't occur to you until the movie's over. the villain didnt amount to much, but that was fine because the focus of the movie was on the team itself (its truer to the show than any of the other movies, in that respect) and the tension comes from what i guess you would call the escalating circumstances - everything going totally wrong at every turn, forcing them to work as a team and think laterally.

movie had exactly the right tone too. fun and freewheeling without crossing the line into cornball or undercutting the tension. it was a good change of pace from the overdetermined seriousness of the previous 2 flicks. pegg was pretty funny imo

i agree that the process-stuff of figuring out solutions to things was excellently done

i was also really struck by the beauty and quiet of the sandstorm foot chase, and the screenwriterly humor of having his goggles for it

the lightness of tone and the very movie-ness of the villain didn't really do it for me, but i did get a kick out of nyqvist's taped speech in favor of nuclear war

i liked how they set the stage for this by having him bang on the phone booth in the beginning

yeah i think ive been seeing a lot of mixed reactions. i guess it was just exactly what i wanted; i also suspect that the dubai stuff left me feeling really generous about everything else. tom cruise sprinting down the side of the world's tallest building is the kind of big-time spectacle that i go to these sorts of movies hoping for, and rarely get

lol lag∞n are you ice cr?m

yeah duh

anyway i liked it but not as much as the 1st 2, kinda wish i had seen it in imax

maybe its time for marathon impossible

I would see it in imax, it really would have been meh for me without it.

lets duel like in MI2 when they jump off their motorcycles and hug each other midair

*removes magic climbing glove, slaps face*

i tried to see it in imax btw but it was sold out, rip my mi4 experience

yeah the IMAX is pretty crucial on this one

so I should watch this eh

you might dig it! there's not a lot of hot manass in it though, so that might be a concern

wow, and I thought the Producers Guild nominations were the nadir of today's film action.
