You want to spend a minute spouting off about the Gods and why they're assholes, people will love you for your atheistic insight. You want to spend a minute rocking out, you'll get all the groupies. You want to spend a minute or three playing hide and seek or showing off your disguises, they'll follow you wherever you go, even if they can't see you. Jump is just the easiest skill to cheese like that. The one minute time frame is what makes it really shine. "Look, I can use my Swim skill for a whooooooole minute! Worship me!" Or "in one minute I've Cooked the greatest morsel you'll ever know." Is bar tending a skill? If someone makes a cocktail worth dying for in a minute flat, all the more power to them.

To be fair, if someone could bake a cake in 1 minute flat I would probably pledge them my eternal allegiance.

Yep, that'd do it, I think.

There's a page of Flash where Iris is knocking on his door and he forgets they had a date. So he quickly has a montage of him cleaning the house as she's knocking, but among the things he does is put a turkey in the oven, which is somehow cooked when he answers the door.

I may not like Cruise as a person but I can respect how seriously he takes his acting. That and he was hilarious in Tropic Thunder so that compensates for some things.

Tom Cruise is usually a reason you should watch a movie, not a reason you shouldn't. He's also a profoundly weird person.

Live Die Repeat is 2/3 fun sci-fi, 1/3 boring action movie. Unfortunately the movie hits a certain point and just completely runs out of steam.

They literally lose the ability that fuels the entire movie's gimmick with like a whole half hour to go. All You Need is Kill is far too foreign bad translation sounding to work as an American movie. Since it is.

All You Need is Kill is a great title because inevitably you remember that one Beatles song and  Live/Die/Repeat is an acceptable alternative, but it's kind of blagh.

Marketing had the right idea when the first two things announced about this movie was: - It's called All You Need is Kill - Also here's an image from Tom Cruise in power armor outrunning an explosion  Don't think I've eve been so immediately sold on a movie since this.

The books, All You Need is Kill (Edge of Tomorrow) and World War Z are so good and so distinct from their movie adaptions that they aren't even the same thing. I highly and immediately recommend both.
