I put on the latest mission impossible, like 10% of the movie is tom cruise running really fast in a straight line and there’s a ~30 minute setup for his big dumb motorcycle stunt

it’s going to be funny once the makeup and facelifts can’t do the job anymore

I wish I hadn’t seen things about that stunt before I saw the movie, as soon as he gets on the bike we know he’s gonna jump

probably my favorite thing about the bear is how the main character (bear) is just kind of an addled dumb himbo who thousand island stares a lot, but with one specific skillset where he is a genius

watched imax dunc, was enjoyable but some of the shots were better widescreen. will see the second one at the dolby cinema

the newest mission impossible was imo the weakest one other than MI2. too long, story didn't make any sense, a real lack of stunts, and frankly the motorcycle jump wasn't really all that impressive?? he's hanging off the side of an airplane that's flying through the air like 5 minutes into Rogue Nation, jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle so he can start parachuting just doesn't compare

still liked it overall but hoping for more from the next one

the real problem w/ the motorcycle stunt is the awful CGI covering up the ramp

Keeping her memory alive!
there was a lot of stupid poo poo because they're doing a rogue AI plot and Hollywood screenwriters — solidarity to last summer's strikers — are dumb as rocks

one especially silly thing is that they spend the first 3/4 of the movie establishing that all their high tech gizmos are now liabilities because the rogue AI can infect everything but then for some loving reason they choose to do a really prominent bit of product placement with Simon Pegg switching to the passenger seat of a self-driving BMW to do mission control stuff on the move and nothing goes wrong

i 100% believe that was because of covid restrictions and ving rhames or something was supposed to be driving
but like that in the scene before that where ving's suddenly in front of a black wall delivering lines to everyone just off camera, he wasn't available anymore

same. just got home. one thing i noticed was the scene where the saudukar are descending into the fremen pit caused the entire theater to hold their breath both times i’ve seen it. what an excellent theater experience

also something i didn’t notice the first time petyr was killed by leto’s poison breath so im guessing everything involved with that in the second half of the book is getting cut

Ever since I had Tom Cruise running pointed out to me it makes me smile when I see one of his films, it's like a visual Wilhelm Scream

I've not seen any of the MI films since the first one.
what is it about Tom Cruise running that I've been missing?

i sometimes throw cables away

i mean straight into the bin without spending 10+ years in the box of might-come-in-handy-someday first

im a fucking monster

being able to run like that while wearing 4 inch lifts is pretty impressive

jammyozzy
Dec 7, 2006

Is that a challenge?
Most actors 'run' at a brisk jog at most, even if their character is in mortal danger, which makes sense because they've been doing multiple takes in costumes & whatever and that poo poo's tiring

Tom Cruise is fuckin sprinting every time he's running on screen, especially when he was a younger, and it makes 99% of other running scenes look pedestrian by comparison



Plus yeah doing that in lifts and not rolling an ankle every take is impressive too

I can't remember what the actual explanation was supposed to be according to Jim Davis

Sagebrush
Feb 26, 2012

the official explanation is something like

pregnant women take prenatal vitamins to ensure they have a healthy baby -> i assume pregnant dogs take prenatal vitamins too -> a veterinarian would have dog pregnancy vitamins sitting around -> in a mug on their desk -> jon drank them -> now his puppies will be healthy, ha ha

but we all know that's a bowdlerization and jim davis is just a gross man.
