MI 7 Dead Reckoning…
While I need to wait to see Final Reckoning before I update my final Mission Impossible Power Rankings, MI2 is still the worst of the bunch.

I watched that recently for the first time. It was pretty good. #1 Wes Anderson movie imo.
-
I have a hard time re-watching shows but I can’t imagine seasons 3 and 4 not being great.

Watched Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning last night. Ended up buying the digital version which is a bit of a waste because unlike Predator or Die Hard (the other movies I “own” digitally), I’ll probably not watch this again. For the record, Predator is always downloaded on my phone for plane watching.
A couple of critiques of the last 2 movies:
- the villain was cheesy (the guy, not the AI)
- Unless I missed it, there was never an explanation of the woman killed by the villain in Tom Cruise’s past
- The admiral played by huge breasted Hannah Waddington has some connection to Tom Cruise’s character but I had no idea what that connection was
- The last 2 movies introduce some weird “choice” narrative about the IMF that is never mentioned in the previous 6 movies
I did enjoy the bringing back of old characters that tied into the original movie and the suspense, even though you know Cruise will succeed, is impressive.
So here is my final MIPR (Mission Impossible Power Rankings):

And Isle of Dogs. The problem is that he has to make all his chud movies so that he can enough credit and money to make his great family movies. Otherwise look at the ani-slop you get stuck with from Pixar and whoever else nowadays. I'm not sitting through some goofy groomer Disney thing for 2 hours.

Unknown Caller doc on Netflix. I'm a sucker for these true crimish shitty docs. Won't spoil. but the eventually villain is a fucking winner. They've done a better job of not making all of these series' because this one is kind of a stretch even at like 90 minutes.

I don't know how fucked up I'd need to be to have any interest in seeing Tron Ares or HIM but it would probably be somewhere at liver failure.
HIM feels like what someone who hates football and wants it to die would think is a good film about the sport. Which reminds me that there's another 100 or so people I need to mute that are fluffing Jordan Peele again.
-
Who the fuck is HIM for? I remember the trailer playing before a movie I was seeing and for .5 seconds I was like, cool, a football movie and then drek unfolded. Football fans don't want to watch some generic probably negative and cliche football version of Whiplash, non-football fans are going to be hard to sell on a football movie.
Football is probably the most popular thing in America and the sports and its demographic is hilariously ignored by Hollywood.
-
The worst part about it is going to be when kids, parents, coaches and mostly importantly all the clout sludge start meming the fuck out of it.

Started the show Task. It's okay but it's pretty impossible to watch Mark Ruffalo, especially in something where he is supposed to be some kind of every man when he's a whiny rich fuck irl.
